[STORMREPORTS] T.S. Matthew Observations
Looking at the latest visible and IR satellite loop imagery, the wind shear I mentioned yesterday afternoon has strengthened and pretty much blown T.S. Matthew apart. The low level circulation is still visible but exposed and all of the disorganized convection is east and NE of the center.
It's doubtful but not impossible that he can reorganize and still make a landfall in Florida as a CAT 1 hurricane. Right now though a landfall west of Pensacola as a weak T.S. is likely.
Take Care,
