It won't be long before we get a rapid intensification cycle. Perhaps late today.

Still some dry air on her western side but that's filling in nicely. I'm only briefly looking at the infrared...

Edit: new pic... WOA look at those cold cloud tops near the center...at this rate I expect at least a strong Cat 1 maybe a Cat 2 by tonight.

I agree LA. I say it'll be a 2 before midnight. Every image is looking more and more impressive.

Use the GHCC Conus satellite. It's updating every 10-15 minutes.

Convection band to the NE will spin around to the NW I think. We could see a really well built hurricane at tht end of the day. All signs are for a rapid intensification. Let the show begins !

She's got a lot of bands. It seems like the storms that have been really strong this year manage to pull those bands in.
