Jeanne has an amazing structure for a Cat 2

Almost perfect Cat 4/5 symmetry present. When she reaches the warmer waters and the gulf stream, i have a bad feeling she's going to explode into a Cat 4 at least.

She's a relatively compact storm like Charley. It won't take long for her to strengthen. Charley went from Cat 2 to Cat 4 in only 4 hours.

doesn't she look like she's gone annular? I think that means they have a huge eye...i forgot how much annular has to do with intensity though.

I wouldn't have said so, but I'm no expert.

If Jeanne has then it means the intensity will take longer to fall.

She is a pretty little storm (relatively speaking). Of course I am just as happy watching her do her thing out in the ocean as opposed to Florida again.

Her clouds are warm and unimpressive. The eye is very good though. I don't know what to think.

reminds me of isabel last year... very un-impressive on ir... and that proved to be an un-impressive storm for the most part due to little heavy rain transporting that stronger wind to the surface... sort of a mid level storm instead of at the surface... the dry air is still impeding her... but that should fall by the way side soon....

Annular? Hardly! Looks like she's munched on a bit of dry air... you can see it wrapping in a bit in the WV, and the Dvorak image seems to show this too.

defin dry air is doing its trick on a well structured storm, but with time this dry air will moisten up a bit making the deeper oranges and reds come out on ir loop.

P.S. don't forget gulf stream waters

Gulf stream will definitely make her pop

Dtji, I can't see satelite loops. I am on dial-up and it takes forever. Are you saying it is really weakening?

jason...

the dry air completely broke down the eye.....big huge area of dry air in the center of circulation...

symmetry of moderately cold cloudtops surrounding the center decent......banding of dry air that was evident is no longer there....only dry air problem is in the center.

has a way to go to organize an inner core and begin tightening again...nhc made reference to expanded windfield maxima which is obvious on sat....
