The storm is confusing. Before near the LLC the pressures were rising, then they started falling again. You have winds on some islands that indicated there could be another LLC nearby, or simply have winds that just indicate how disorganized it really is with a wind field that does not exert an influence on their winds in the way you think. Storm moving too fast still for west winds at some of these islands? A lot have been SE. But that may say more about the disorganization than an indication of where the LLC is.

But more recently things seem to be coming together more. The lower and higher levels are getting closer together. So I guess not a reformation, more of a rejoining being attempted right now.

Air Force recon is done. G-IV on the way to sample around the storm.
