It looks like the center is semiexposed to the westsouthwest of the convection due to the west shear that does not allow the deep convection to wrap around.But still looks well rounded up in the circular pattern.It will hang around for another 24-36 hours before a trough tears it apart but in the meantime convection will come and go and the spin will be there.

It looks now better organized than before as more convection is near the center and it's fighting the shear very good so I would not discount the chance that it may have to be pure tropical before all is set and done.
