Look at how scary the south side is! Until that wraps around or more Conv. fires up in the north quads, the south side looks to be the worst.

it looks to my untrained eyes as WSW of the previous position and now the W side of the eye is where the coldest tops are. That had seemed to be the weakest side previous due to dry air

I think it's because of the water temps.

South side is over pockets of 86+ degree water.

Well there never was weakening, nor was it forecasted.

It has been forecast to strenghten between now and landfall and its doing so.

A NHC forecaster, recently interviewed on WIOD radio in Miami, said that Jeanne could become a category 4 storm.

The local warnings mention the possibility of her getting stronger too.

Siobhan, looking at the IR satellite loop, we're seeing colder cloud tops, more intense, uniform convection -- the reds and whites on enhanced color IR loops -- becoming a larger area on the bottom semicircle of the storm. As for the WSW movement, we're all probably cross-eyedm from watching every jiggle. We can't really say what the motion is until we get the next recon fix.

Remember, it's supposed to have gone pretty much due west at least this far on most forecast tracks. What happens next is the real deciding factor.

It's a tad S of W during the eclipse...

Eye center looks to be about 26.4N or so
