Looks like it's eyewall replacement cycle is finally almost complete... although I could be wrong, because you know, Daniel is a weird storm. Also... it definitely is looking annular!

Holy Cow!! We have a annular hurricane now! :D Quite rare and well done NHC for picking up on it well before it became one.

Hurricane Daniel looks great and that eye is just stunning. He is at 110 Knots which now ties him for the most powerful hurricane of the Epac thus far this year. However, it's forecast he will become a category 4 hurricane soon!! He will become stronger then his uncle Bud!

All Daniel needs to do now is totally clear the eye of clouds and fix his south-west area. Then he will look like a CAT5 hurricane.

The only way this will become annular is when all banding features are gone and the eye becomes fully circular.

He is already annular according to the NHC. He does have some ways to go before looking perfect but he is still annular. This is no Isabel but he does look excellent.

HURRICANE DANIEL DISCUSSION NUMBER 15
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP052006
800 AM PDT THU JUL 20 2006

INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS A RATHER SYMMETRIC ANNULAR-
TYPE HURRICANE WITH A WELL DEFINED EYE ABOUT 25-30 NM IN
DIAMETER. SUBJECTIVE DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES ARE 90 KT FROM
AFWA AND 102 KT FROM TAFB AND SAB. RECENT RAW OBJECTIVE ESTIMATES
FROM TAFB AND CIMSS ARE BETWEEN T6.0 AND 6.5...115 TO 127 KT.
BASED ON A BLEND OF THE SUBJECTIVE AND OBJECTIVE ESTIMATES THE
INITIAL INTENSITY IS SET AT 110 KT. THIS COULD BE A LITTLE
CONSERVATIVE IF THE OBJECTIVE ESTIMATES ARE CORRECT.

THE CYCLONE HAS BEEN GAINING SOME LATITUDE AND APPEARS TO HAVE
TURNED TO THE WEST-NORTHWEST. THE INITIAL MOTION IS ESTIMATED AT
285/8. MODEL GUIDANCE IS TIGHTLY CLUSTERED AND DANIEL IS EXPECTED
TO REMAIN ON A WEST-NORTHWEST HEADING SOUTH OF A LOW/MID-LEVEL
RIDGE FOR THE NEXT 3 DAYS. THEREAFTER...THE GFDL TURNS THE CYCLONE
NORTHWARD...AS THE MODEL DEVELOPS A WEAKNESS IN THE RIDGE. THE
GFS...NOGAPS...AND UKMET KEEP ENOUGH RIDGING NORTH OF HURRICANE TO
MAINTAIN A WEST-NORTHWESTWARD HEADING. THE CURRENT TRACK IS
SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS TRACK AND DISCOUNTS THE GFDL SOLUTION. THE
OFFICIAL TRACK IS A LITTLE TO THE LEFT OF THE MODEL CONSENSUS.

THE INTENSITY FORECAST REMAINS CHALLENGING. BOTH THE SHIPS AND GFDL
INTENSITY GUIDANCE CAPS THE HURRICANE AT ITS CURRENT INTENSITY. IT
IS ASSUMED THAT DANIEL WILL STRENGTHEN FOR ANOTHER 12 HOURS OR
SO...REACHING CATEGORY 4 STRENGTH. THEREAFTER...SSTS WILL
GRADUALLY COOL AND SHEAR IS FORECAST TO INCREASE IN ABOUT 36
HOURS...SO A GRADUALLY WEAKENING IS FORECAST. DUE TO DANIEL'S
ANNULAR APPEARANCE IT WILL LIKELY WEAKEN SLOWER THAN THE GUIDANCE
INDICATES. HOWEVER...AFTER 72 HOURS DANIEL SHOULD BE TRAVERSING
OVER SUB 26 DEGREE WATER AND WEAKENING SHOULD THEN BE A BIT FASTER.

FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INITIAL 20/1500Z 12.5N 122.6W 110 KT
12HR VT 21/0000Z 12.9N 123.7W 115 KT
24HR VT 21/1200Z 13.3N 125.1W 115 KT
36HR VT 22/0000Z 13.8N 126.7W 105 KT
48HR VT 22/1200Z 14.3N 128.3W 90 KT
72HR VT 23/1200Z 15.3N 131.5W 75 KT
96HR VT 24/1200Z 16.3N 134.5W 60 KT
120HR VT 25/1200Z 17.5N 137.0W 50 KT

If he had water like off the Mexican coast or the Loop Current, this would be a Category 5 right now...

I just checked the latest sat images and he looks like a strong category 4 hurricane right now. If I showed someone a image of Daniel and they never seen or knew any information about it, they would say it was a CAT5 right now based apon looks.

This hurricane is in the top 30 best looking tropical cyclones ever IMO. He looks better now then he did 2 hours ago. Still has some garbage in the eye to clean out.

My guess at strength: 125-130 Knots

EDIT: Garbage in the eye almost gone.

I'm guessing 120 knots (140 mph) right now. Pressure around 943 mb.

He just needs to rub his eye a little more, maybe a little Visine, and his eye should be fine. :wink:

Those red rings were close. I'm not sure how big a deal it is though.

The garbage in the eye of Daniel is gone!
