I note the two big red blobs on either side. If you see the loop they seem to move about a central axis for a frame or three. (This is from RAMDIS BTW) I also see the classical hurricane shape taking form, big tail headed out of the top, and over almost to the keys, down through Cuba and into Central America. Looks to even my unschooled eye something to watch out for!

From my untrained eye she seems to be a very small, compact system...which means the landfall point is crucial.

However, it's still too early at this point to be talking about things like landfall.

The system is actually rather broad meaning pretty good overall size. The LLC trying to figure out where it wants to be is rather small at this point. I do not think this will be a small storm when it stacks.

Cindy won't look like this when it makes landfall.

Small? Hmmmmm I don't know about that. It's circulation seems to cover a lot of area.

I meant the circulation itself. I agree with you that the moisture plume seems a good size.
