Does Nicholas has an eye?

Interesting feature that spot in the convection but is that a true eye forming or it is part of the convection movements.Let's see in the next few hours if that area persists or vanish but really the system looks much better overall with the outflow fairly good.

No. It actually looks like another diminishing phase of the convection. Notice at the start of the loop (visible) of the large arc cloud out away from Nicklaus (which busted out as a large outflow boundary-arc cloud earlier today).

I'm not saying Nicklaus won't make hurricane status right now, just halted temporary.

Yes I thought it was not a true eye but I asked to make sure thanks SF as always.

Nicholas has formed steadily... 40 mph to 65 mph in a couple days. I agree, the way it looks now, the storm should reach hurricane status in at the same rate it strengthened from 55 mph to 65 mph.

Thanks for deleting my post earlier, mods...

Repeating... Nick does not have an eye...

Usually they don't form until T numbers get around 4.5 or so or around 85mph winds.
