Alas it appears the shear has moved south following #Karl and it is already pulling the center apart, or at least tipping it over.

There is something very unusual (to me) in this #HurricaneKarl set up, sitting over southern Mexico - a small high pressure vortex, I didn't know something like this was possible.

Could this be artifact of the Tehuantepecer event. No wonder the #99E system is not developing.

Very very weird #Karl.

Unsurprisingly given hat it is a high pressure area you can't really see it. But it does explain the comparatively clear skies over this part of Mexico.

A slower shorter satellite animation - only three hours.

A mystery.
