From a visual standpoint, Habana has to be one of the most beautiful storms I've seen in quite a while. Luckily it's also far removed any populated areas or land in general (as far as I'm aware, but please correct me if I'm wrong) so in that sense it's better for an OTS storm to be such an overachiever rather than a storm headed for a population center. I guess I have a weakness for those long curls around storms, I found Epsilon last year also quite a stunning storm for the same reason.

Habana’s eye has remained rather cloudy for most of the day, and it has yet to clear again. I think there might be some kind of eyewall meld again. Microwave imagery was showing a close outer eyewall, but it was also showing a weaker east side.

At 1255 UTC on the 6th, another SMAP estimate for Habana came in at 124.2 kt. This is quite impressive for a weakening storm approx. 6 hours past its peak at ~0600 UTC.

There’s pretty much unanimous agreement that Habana will recover and re-intensify into a major starting within the next 24-36 hours or so.

Habana is starting to RI again, with a very well defined eyewall. However, it seems that an EWRC could start up again very soon due to all of those outer bands.

I'm betting habana reaches category 5 within the next 48-52 hours.

Microwave imagery reveals a comma structure — Habana has a well-defined eyewall that a large outer band is connected to, but so far, that band has not wrapped around into an outer eyewall. As long as this remains to be the case, Habana should undergo quite an impressive phase of RI.

2.C ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
T=CI=7.0
THE HABANA'S EYE PATTERN IS IMPRESSIVE : A CI OF 7.0 WITH AVERAGE
WINDS ESTIMATED AT 125KT AND A CONVECTIVE STRUCTURE WHICH REMAINS
SMALL WITH A RADIUS OF 150KM. HOWEVER, IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT THE
INTENSITY OF HABANA IS OVERESTIMATED BY THE DVORAK ANALYSIS. INDEED,
AS SHOWN BY THE MICROWAVE DATA OF AMSR2 FROM 0817UTC, A SECOND WIND
MAXIMUM APPEARS IN THE LOW LAYERS, ENCLOSING THE FIRST RING WHICH
SHOWS A WEAKNESS IN THE SOUTH-WESTERN PART. AS AN EYEWALL REPLACEMENT
CYCLE (ERC) IS IN PROGRESS, THE MAXIMUM WINDS WILL WEAKEN SOON
ACCOMPANIED BY AN INCREASE IN WIND EXTENSIONS. THE DVORAK ANALYSIS
AVERAGED OVER 3 HOURS AT THE TIME OF THE AMSR2 DATA BEING 6.5-, WE
CAN ESTIMATE THAT THE CURRENT WINDS ARE RATHER AROUND 110KT, DEFINING
HABANA AS AN INTENSE TROPICAL CYCLONE.
SOME CHANGES IN THE FORECAST TRACK AND MAINLY AT THE END OF THE
TRACK. HABANA IS HEADING WESTWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM. FROM TOMORROW, MOST MODELS
SUGGEST A SOUTH-WESTERLY DIP TOWARDS A WEAKENING OF THE SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE, GENERATED BY THE PASSAGE OF A TROUGH FURTHER SOUTH. HABANA
SHOULD THEN TURN SOUTH ON FRIDAY/SATURDAY. ON SUNDAY, AS IT WEAKENS,
HABANA SHOULD SLOW DOWN ITS MOTION TO START A MORE ERRATIC MOTION
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LOWER MID-TROPOSPHERE OPPOSING FLOWS. THE MAIN
MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE BEGINNING OF THE TRACK BUT A
DISPERSION STILL PERSISTS FROM SATURDAY ON THE TIMING OF THE TURN AND
THE EVACUATION OR NOT TOWARDS THE SOUTHERN LATITUDES. THE PRESENT
RSMC FORECAST OPTS FOR AN ERRATIC TRACK AROUND 20S DURING THE FILLING
OF HABANA EARLY NEXT WEEK.
IN TERMS OF INTENSITY, ALL THE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE
PRESENT TO ALLOW HABANA TO CONTINUE ITS RAPID INTENSIFICATION. IN THE
SHORT TERM, IT IS RATHER THE RECENTLY STARTED ERC THAT MAY LIMIT OR
EVEN TEMPORARILY REVERSE THIS TREND. ONCE THE ERC IS OVER, HABANA
SHOULD AGAIN EXPERIENCE A PERIOD OF REINTENSIFICATION AT LEAST UNTIL
SATURDAY. FROM SATURDAY ONWARDS AND THEN MORE MARKEDLY ON SUNDAY, AN
INCREASE IN THE MID-TROPOSPHERE SHEAR COULD START TO BRING DRY AIR
NEAR THE HEART OF THE SYSTEM AND WEAKEN HABANA UNTIL THE THRESHOLD OF
DEPRESSION FILLING UP, CLOSES BY MONDAY. HOWEVER, NOT ALL MODELS
AGREE ON THE PRESENCE OF THE SATURDAY SHEAR, WHICH MAY OCCUR LATER.
THERE IS THEREFORE A HIGHER THAN NORMAL UNCERTAINTY ON THIS INTENSITY
PREDICTION, EITHER ON SHORT TIME SCALES RELATED TO THE ERC OR ON
LONGER TIME SCALES RELATED TO THE DRY AIR INTRUSION.
OVER THE NEXT 5 DAYS, HABANA DOES NOT POSE ANY THREAT TO INHABITED
LANDS.=

If this makes it to Cat 5 it will be the 4th Cat 5 of the SHEM season and 3rd of 2021. 2020 had 4 the entire year...

It’s very clear on IR that Habana is starting another EWRC. I wonder if it’ll still have time to intensify a third time.

The previous microwave pass showed a small eyewall with a large outer eyewall forming. Now, there’s just a medium eyewall. Perhaps there’s been an eyewall meld? Hopefully a more high definition pass in the next few hours can reveal what’s going on.
