Tell me what you think! Use the "decrease image hold" button to speed up the loop and watch the center move.

I can't but think that may be some dry air instead of the center of circulation.. saw this with one of the storms last year.. forget which one. I thought it was an eye on radar but it was air. Maybe a more experienced person can confirm?

Edit: Gah I've looked at too many posts/radar/sat loops. I just don't like any of the radar loops. There is so much air in the system is honestly too hard to really make a call through radar.

Although that dry spot is in the same location as the burst of convection on the satelite.
