Ivan--Wow! Look at that outflow

Nearly perfect outflow almost all the way around the system...the "fingers" are fanning out in every direction.

Looking at the last few frames, I hate to say but it does look better organized. Waiting to see the eye reappear, that will be the next sign of strengthening.

The outflow is remarkable and the system is rather large, as well.

It's pretty amazing we can see both systems in one shot not good.I for some reason still had Ivan out there about 300 miles further E.Ivan moving at 22mph is not good for the SE US.The troffs seem to be about 7>10 days apart.Ivan might slip in between two of them and pose a threat for the GOM.The troff seems to be here somewhat will be lifting out and high pressure moving in later this week.

So NOBODY saw the obvious surface outflow boundary? (look UNDER the upper outflow on the NW half of the storm.)

Ivan may have kicked off something but it's looking better every frame to me

I saw it, but don't what to make of it. The storm does has excellent outflow on all quadrants. I don't think this storm is weakening or intensifying at present moment looking at recon reports.
