She's not annular. Not even close. She may become annular at some point. But not yet.
Ohh she's close...Won't be long now
No, she's not. She has a ragged eyewall. The strong convection isn't wrapped completely around the eye on IR. And the eye is small. We won't even have a hint at whether she will go annular until AFTER she goes through an ERC. To suggest she's going annular at this point is pure guesswork.
The core of this storm resembles a friggin Krispy Creme...As soon as the ERWC is done today she is going to 160+...
Almost there Mac...
It's possible she'll become annular after her ERC. But it's premature at this point, IMO, to definitively say she's going annular. I'll be sure to check back with you later on it though.
Errr...I've been waiting all damn day. Tell me when so I can stop tapping my fingers, okay?
LOL
Seriously, it's possible she may yet become annular. But like I said before, we won't have any clue until after she goes through an ERC. To be quite honest with you, I'm rather surprised, given her rate of intensification, that she hasn't yet showed any signs of an impending ERC. I'm betting she'll undergo an ERC some time overnight. But she may not become annular at all. Some of them--even the very strongest--never do.
