I see that as well. Let’s see if they find an outer wind maxima here in a little bit.
Could be the nature of the radar beam being tilted to the 25,0000+ foot level at that distance being obscured by those cloud tops and then picking up the subsequent higher tops around the eye? It appears that the apparent most feature is filling in on radar now.
Thank you! I actually had this thought as well after I posted about it having more to do with the radar beam angle.
