Well I do think it looks more comma like this morning, bit odd to get a comma over this high SSTs isn't it though? First visible image of the morning should be in fairly soon.

Ah there already are some, I tend to just use the Dundee images in this area. Hopefully it might be visible in one of the AVHRR or TERRA/AQUA images later.

sorry Madeira !!!!

Here, in one of the Azores islands, we have sun, winds of 15 mph, nothing more than that.

This thing looks like a hurricane...
85h data shows a eyewall
quickscats show a tight wind field

banding/outflow has become much better defined.
A clear eye has pop out

Please some one get me out of this nightmare.
