I have a feeling we’ll be looking at Major Hurricane Sam by this time tomorrow night. This is organizing even faster than Larry.

For those thinking it wasn't aligned, remember the angle and the fact those top down pics are adjusted to look top down. It's getting less as it moves away from Africa but the distortion is still there.

Wow, just a day after being a TD and 7 hours after being named, and now we have this.

It’s a partial eyewall, that still fits in the “curved band” category. It’s getting there, but it’s not there yet.

Uncle Sam is coming . . . (I could not resist it)

Sam: "Sorry about that slop called Peter and Rose, let me show you what a real September MDR TC looks like."

Strongly reminds me of early Irma, although a bit farther west than that storm was at this stage.

You serious Clark?

Why wouldn’t I be?

That does look like a pinhole eyewall developing on microwave imagery. Interesting.

You serious, Clark?

Why wouldn’t I be?

Look closely at the northern lobe; Sam is attempting to close off a small eye. Based on the microwave, it might be closed but thin and ragged. A solid convective burst, and Sam will go supernova.

Two small hot towers are now rapidly rotating tightly around the center. RI Time!!!

So what you’re saying is, it has a partial eyewall, but still has a bit more development to do?

I'm saying Sam is a hurricane
