...LISA STARTING TO BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED...SHEAR RELAXING...
LISA has moved its center under some deep convection. Shear that has been working across the storm from the north is relaxing, so LISA may become better organized today. In 48 hours, another round of shearing will work on the cyclone, but probably not enough to weaken it.
LISA will follow a path similar to KARL and remain over open water.
