TROPICAL STORM ELSA Discussion Thread

She looks pretty darn good in such unfavorable conditions!

This is interesting.  Sort of making a bubble around herself, creating her own environment?  Earlier, it really looked to me like the surface center may have been getting pulled under the mid-level CDO.  On visible, it looked like it made a long round wobble and almost got tucked under the storms.  That would have been a nice dance move and likely given her the boost needed to build her force-field and strengthen.  

Now in the last few frames its more difficult to tell where the defined center is.  So I don't know if she succeeded or just missed... or is still dancing. 

I guess they think their wooden chairs are good in a low end TS wind.....

She's not giving in!

Trajectory of motion is now due north, no longer NNW so the shear is not hurting as much.

Looks like it's trying to build a core around an eye.
