What does it mean to have an "open eyewall" on one quadrant? Does it just mean that the curtain effect is more broken in one spot? Are eyewalls really vertical curtains?

Is this general feeling prevailing - that the winds for Ivan will increase at the 7pm CDT update?

Dennis,it looks pretty decent to me. All it needs is for the convection to totally wrap around to get it back to Cat 5.
