I think it might be a trick on the eyes because the sun is beginning to go down.

No you are not seeing things, that most definitely looks like an eye!



You guys are kidding right? Please tell me you know this is not Chris.


That's Chris. Check for yourself on NHC site.

Looking a bit better than an hour or two ago,the W/NW side of the storm was looking a bit bad earlier (probably due to the dry air or slight shear) Won't go and say it's much better than it was earlier.. But it's not looking bad or sickly.Just needs to hang on a bit longer and it should head into higher moisture and warmer SST areas..Looking pretty on vis though :)

Yeah... it's still interesting. I do think it might be the beginnings of one.

Are you saying that this TC is not Chris? Because that looks like Chris to me.

It's going to be an agonizing wait until this weekend when we get a better idea of where it's going. The Mexican scenario is a definite possibility however I think there's greater odds of Chris hitting the US whether it be south Florida or along the gulf coast.

It's quite amazing how much more speculation and concern goes along with these storms now than say 5 years ago. We can certainly thank the past two years for making all of us a little jumpy, but there's still plenty of time to figure out where he's going so everyone take a deep breath.



Interestingly if you look at the historical chart of all August Tropical Storms within 200 miles of Chris; NONE have crossed into the GOM.
(I don't know how to bring in the picture but saw it on Weather Underground under "Historical Tracks")

So, will Chris make history?
Die like the models were saying?
Turn north defying all logic???

Remember that at this time yesterday the storm intensify rapidily. I am not saying that is the case now, however, it wouldn't surprise me given the recent explosion of thunderstorms that some intensification happen as the evening moves on.

to form an eye a hurricane usually has to go through an explosion of convection over the center first. Looks like that's what's happening.

Stormcenter mustn't realize that we have a well organized TS out there. LOL That's definately Chris! Just with a nice thunderstorm burst near the center in which the angle of the sun is making it look like it's an eye....but it's not.

Question: Why is there no storm watch for DR/Haiti, especially w/ the reliable GFDL track dissecting the region?? There is a watch for SE Bahamas??

Well, if there are other pics that show that same feature I am beginning to get convinced. It almost looks like a mini-Rita(no, I am not trying to compare intensity).
