[cycloneye]

There is the eye.

[cycloneye]

We have the H now.

[AnnularCane]

Surprise surprise surprise!

[northjaxpro]

It was never a doubt in my view he was a cane once the eye popped and cleared out on satellite imagery.

[Alyono]

We have the H now.

FL winds are marginal at best though. SFMR readings may not be valid. Waiting for the east semi-circle though

[TheAustinMan]

Recon largely confirming the satellite trends we've seen this afternoon after seeing 88kt flight level winds. Eye continues to remain clear with the mesoscale sector on Chris showing convection continuing to stack in the northeastern quadrant, though it appears the SE quadrant has the largest radii.

[Alyono]

We have the cane winds now. Looks like a 75 kt hurricane

[cycloneye]

In the 80's at flight level.

[CrazyC83]

I agree with 75 kt for the current intensity. Will they just wait for 5 pm or issue an update?

[cycloneye]

[cycloneye]

[1900hurricane]

A DT of 4.5 corresponds to about a 75 kt intensity. Not too bad.

[Hypercane_Kyle]

Southern side is VERY potent, flight level winds at 100mph, SFMR 85mph. Cat 2 wouldn't surprise me later tonight.
