WOCN31 CWHX 300600
Post tropical Danny information statement issued by the canadian
hurricane centre of Environment Canada at 3.00 AM ADT Sunday
30 August 2009.


... Danny absorbed into the maritime low pressure centre...

Post tropical storm Danny can not be detected on quickscat for 18
hours now. One was able to eye ball an area of convection
Southeast of cap cod and follow that cluster where Danny was suppose
To be.. But that relationship has fallen apart. The models
Still retains a very weak vort centre over the supposed
Position of Danny but after 12 zulu..The machine models lose
Its Resolution.

Thickness are still high surrounding the deep maritime low
Now moving through the Bay of Fundy. This no doubt reflects
The moist gulf of Mexico air that was introduced by a an
Upper trough that originated in the american deep south. Clearly..
This warm unstable airmass riding over the warm frontal zone
In combination with maritime low has produced copious amounts of
Rain. At issue time.. Amounts of 100 mm have fallen so far
In Southern New Brunswick. One can speculate that Danny
Introduced tropical air from the Bahamas into the mix.

In terms of winds.. We could not detect any veering or
Backing of winds on the ocean bouys so Danny has long ago
disconnected itself from the boundary layer. Therefore
It is no longer an issue for the marine forecast as the
Large wind field of the baroclinic field now dominates. Even the
wave field that was previous carried by Danny is now being shaped
And carried forward by the maritime low.

This is the final message from the canadian hurricane centre
messaging on tropical system Danny.
