"Good luck finding a center"
Now it seems the NHC is getting down to Earth on their discussion. It was a good write up, and non pros like myself can relate. Also I think the NHC did another great job on their forecast with Dennis. They are getting better on the 5 day outlook.

two centers ... and one now winning?
It's only an amateur's opinion, but if I had to guess at what is going on using satellite imagery, I'd say there were probably two weak LLCs or an LLC to the east and a MLC slightly to the west battling it out to be the true center. That could explain why that blob of significant convection went up on the east side of the system earlier this evening (in addition to the main blob).
But in the past few hours, it appears that the secondary, smaller blob is getting "pulled into" the main one. That COULD be a sign 5 is getting her act together, though it's always tough to use IR imagery to figure this stuff out. I think an upgrade may very well wait until visible imagery is available to see if my theory -- or a better one from the NHC -- is right.

This QuickScat image makes finding the center a bit easier than those IR loops, hehe. Earlier the SE quadrant had a good arc of winds, but everywhere else was sketchy, and it didn't wrap all the way around. Looks much better now!
