Bill was an embryonic convective cluster/circualtion at the time (as in the

Impressive, IMHO.

EC has also been fairly consistent in keeping the remants of Bill on a more
southerly Atlantic track.

This system is most interesting to a novice. It does not look anything
like the 'normal' low pressure area that we tend to see on satellite
sequences. There is no cold unstable air digging into the rear of the
system.

I notice how random convection seems to be developing in the zone to
the west of the main cold cloud.

Fascinating.
