a tropical system to carry 2 centers of circulation?
it may sound silly but I'm just curious.

Sure...one that's not well developed can have competing centers. Even more than two. That's not what you mean, though, is it?

What about two well developed centers?

I'd say unlikely.
There's going to be one center where convergence at the surface is stronger and divergence aloft is really cranking. It gets strong enough and it's going to obliterate any other centers.
Impossible? I don't know. Unlikely? For sure.

that would however be really interesting to see...

It just so happens that I saved a shot of Mitch in 1998 which showed two distinct centers of circulation when the hurricane was at 942mb.

Or PaintShop Pro... I made the image in 1998 when the NHC was talking about a double-eye structure. Was fun to show at hurricane conferences.

Wouldn't that be quite a sight huh.

that was photoshoped look at the eye on the left and the 3 blue dashes.
a real storm was wilma at one point had 2 eyes

I'm not sure what caused it but I don't think it actually had 2 eyes, I hear it was dry air or something. I'm not sure.

Is that a real image? Looks photoshopped to me.

Aye, aye, aye...
Of course it's photoshopped... read what wxman said:

Oh OK.

During the early stages of formation, many storms will show two or more distinct circulation centers until one becomes the dominant one and begins to intensify.

yes...Wilma's was caused by dry air entrainment...eroded part of the convection and caused a pocket of clear air to form...

Actually, I believe that picture shows a single very large eye with a band of clouds cutting across the center. Wilma was one of the largest hurricanes on record as it began ET transition after passing Florida. Had a very large eye.
