QUESTION ON ISABEL
Can someone post a visible image of Isabel and point out the center of circulation? I am having difficulty trying to follow it in the visible loops.

close up visible loop
http://hadar.cira.colostate.edu/ramsdis ... flvis.html sounds like an easy website for a visible satellite loop of isabel. http://hadar.cira.colostate.edu/ramsdis ... lvis8.html is the same site, but shows the still visible photograph of the storm. It's truly one of my favorite sites to see close up visible photographs of the most significant atlantic ocean tropical storms or hurricanes.
Remember it's just dawning in the Atlantic. So it will take a few more frames to really get a sense of the entire situation as the sun gets higher in the sky. But if you look carefully even in 3-4 frames the center of circulation is right over the middle of that blob of thunderstorms. That means this system is symmetrical much like Fabian was and could rapidly develop over the next 2-3 days or so. It's 4-5 days away from affecting the northern Lesser Antillies at this point.

sounds better actually
That site has the stats on it. Either way you slice it, Isabel is certainly getting it's act together and with 65 mph winds, it could easily become a hurricane later today or tonight. It's still well over 1000 miles east of the Lesser Antillies. It will take 4-5 days for Isabel to start affecting the northern Lesser Antillies.

looks like it...
It seems like a 65 knot hurricane just given the presentation on satellite. It looks quite healthy!!!
