Ivan looking less impressive on Microwave Data

Looks like the Western Side of the Eyewall may have eroded away. Don't see a 2nd eyewall trying to form. What do you think:

Looks like the dry air got to him or an ERC that's not complete. Hopefully it's the dry air. :-)

He started looking a little ragged last night, but unfortunately looks better this morning.

Maybe I am looking at the data incorrectly period. I thought those microwave images show how the inner (And outer) eyewalls are constructed. I thought I also had the latest image. Sorry bout that

Ivan has the look of a Floyd or Isabel when hitting NC, only much much stronger.
