Just heard that on TWC. He's trying to strengthen before landfall.

Looks like Ivan Drago has one more haymaker for the good ol' USA and Rocky!

Doesn't that say that the eyewall is open on the SE side and is not fully closed?

You're right, eyewall is open to the SE...but with the pressure going down its likely just a temporary opening.

127kt flight = 146 mph flight level = ~131mph surface = 114kt surface

That recon was from about 45 minutes ago.

The eye continues to look better, although it is interesting that the SE side of the core has the warmest convection.

Appears that the deep red convection is wrapping around the center though.

The deep red will be approaching the SE quadrant soon...

I hope that flare up on the SE doesn't pull him off his N heading.

Where does this info come from and why does it take other websites so long to pick it up?

So the consensus here is that Ivan is strengthening (again) and will continue to do so?

Bump, I was thinking the same thing... Something to the west, troughing, something, is helping Ivan survive the dry air better... And it's beginning on the west side! Give him an hour and he'll have cold tall cloud tops surrounding the eye I bet....

winds still at 130 based on recon....but they usually take a while to catch up with pressure falls.......would expect them to begin increasing if current apparent trend continues.

It could have some small influence, but overall, this thing looks just about due N now...

Probablly not. Now that I look at it, he's pretty symmetrical.

But I have noticed when the storm gets "unbalanced" on one side of the eye, then the storm wobbles to that side.

I don't know if the flare up can do this.
