I seen that maybe starting to tighten/become better oreganize. It also seems to be turning more westward.

To bad this system is not out in the Middle of the Atlantic and going to be a fish I wouldnt mind seeing it organize if it was but I dont want it to go into a strengthening phase when its going to make landfall soon.

its not in a strengthening phase. Its in an adjustment phase. The land friciton is gone; thus, the wind increase (gradient wind equation doen't have friction. A hurricane is in gradient balance. Wind decreases due to friction)

2. This is still moving at 295-300, no matter what a sat illusion says. The center before was in the very southern part of the eye. Recon fixes show a march at 295-300 with no deviaton

Eye has virtually disappeared

It appears in the last few satellite frames that the eye is basically disappearing under northern convection.. seems rather strange. Tightening up?

probably a sign of real intensification probably. Thats what Dennis did and it then formed a true eye by the descending motion, not just by bands wrappind around a center

She will have 30C waters to work with from this point forward.

That's definately what we've been seeing lately... Plenty of wrapping; and a HUGE *eye*, most likely signifying the fact that it wasn't formed by the "descending motion", but by the wrapping around a center of circulation.

A lot of darker reds in her convection now on the IR linked from the NHC site...

She's looking more compact too.

well she is/has broken all of or most of Dennis' records so why not the one for one of the fastest deepening as well! (Sorry if I don't spell words correctly but I suck at spelling! lol)

She looks very, uh, swollen on her northwest quadrant:

The last recon from a hour in a half ago. Shown that she was down 4 millibars to 980.

The latest Ir out of the Nasa page shows that the deep convection is off to the west of the "eye" In which some dry air has been getting sucked into the cirualtion. We have to watch if it can get raid of it...Because there is already some pop up convection forming around the Eastern side...

Here is a Radar to track the cyclone.

Latest satellite shows that the storm is starting to wrap.
