Large ARC Cloud busts out of Isabel

On the western and southwestern flank away from the inner core. Though the inner core is still trying to reorganize, we saw this with Fabian and now we're seeing it with Isabel. Isabel is trying desperately to rid itself of the dry air entrainment and continues to vigorously attempt to wrap convection around the center.

This satelite makes Isabel look good as compared to the IR which shows the dry air invading from the west.

She sure is fighting hard, as mentioned just like Fabian. I still think she will get her act together a bit better. If she can close off the center and get an eye feature established, she will hang tough and be easier to track on sat pics.
