Happy Birthday Emily 8/8/90 makes you 21

NWS radar image loop of Long Range Reflectivity from Miami, FL: "Long Range Reflectivity
The remnants of Emily finally acquired the organization required to be classified as a Depression, and at 21Z today, TD Emily was reborn. The intensity is 25kts and 1012mb, and the heading is north at 7kts. The center is located just offshore of Fort Lauderdale FL, but has been producing very heavy rainfall over the Bahamas for the past 24+ hours. It appears that FL will escape the precipitation, perhaps with the exception of some isolated thunderstorms.
The long-range radar loop from Miami can be found here: http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=AMX&product=N0Z&overlay=11101111&loop=yes and once Emily is further north, the loop from Melbourne will be more practical: http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?product=N0Z&rid=mlb&loop=yes


Since the system did not "sneak under the westerlies", it lifted north and will continue to move north then northeast into the open ocean and come under the unfriendly influence of a mid-latitude front by Monday. So its time as being "Emily" is limited once again.
