:-? Umm eyes don't form on Tropical Storms.

That's usually something Cat2+ Hurricanes do. WTH?

Nooo.. it's definately got an eye. That's what I'm wondering about too, LOL

This is very strange...

See..ProNet is even better than the National Hurricane Center. I am curious to see what comes out in the weather news in the next 4-5 hours.

Me too. Now that I really look into it and think about it, I cannot tell for sure if that's an eye or a opening in the bands. It may be either. If it's just an opening this storm is still pretty weak. If it's an eye, then this storm is pretty strong.

IR imagery doesn't show strong winds in the core though, but I'm trying to get a better look.

The other system is also "interesting" right now... but I think it might be falling apart, hard to say. I'll let the weather guys with the big toys make the call on this one.

NOAA should have an update at 5pm.

Here's why I saw the "eye" might not be an eye...

I need to find a wind map...

This bouy is off the NE coast of Florida..

The wind speeds are increasing... so maybe it is something.

Is it actually a TS even yet since NOAA doesn't seem to have any thing yet and the Weatherunderground isn't mentioning any thing yet. Either way it certainly looks like some thing and the other thing looks like some thing too. I wonder if every one went to sleep at the National Hurricane Center.
