can anyone point out a possible eye formation? I think i may have an idea..


The center is a bit east of that weak spot in the convection. This image may show it better.

Time for bed, all. Don't let Helene do anything "funny" while I'm asleep.

Yup... that is interesting. I was convinced that i was seeing a N/NW motion, but it must have been the wobbling of the central core as she continues to oraganize. My earlier comment seems to have been in error...

While I think U.S. concerns are minimal. Certainly Bermuda should be paying close attention. Helene has the looks of being a very large hurricane.
