Wonder why the strongest winds are so well remove NE of the center?

Blue circle will likely be the new center

Still no robust inner core. Core is tightening though, as evidenced by the sharper pressure fall found by recon.

500mb closed off now.
Should get a classic eye development now instead of a bunch of hot-towers running amok creating pseudo eyes.

Thinking the system has been sucking some mid-level dry-air.

The SLIDER product seems to be having update issues.

CDO has expanded. Nice direct link thanks.

Beautiful storm.

[GCANE]

Too many towers to count.
All overshooting the CDO and building cirrus on top.

T4.0/4.0, hurricane next advisory?

T4.0/4.0, hurricane next advisory?

no, nothing from the aircraft suggests hurricane inensity

I agree, so far stronger flight level winds are not reaching the surface yet.

Looks good with luckily only limited time left out over water. System is intensifying and presenting itself nicely on this morning's visibles with towers firing off and no doubt swells being kicked up. I still think it will be a hurricane at landfall, and I'm pretty sure that unless the NHC inflates the numbers to scare the populace, the only Cat 2 winds will be offshore gusts which don't really count. Thoughts and prayers to everyone down in Estado de Veracruz.
