Re: 0615z Satellite Obs

The satellites are back up. Frances eye is about half the size it was at 0345Z.
High cloud tops (Dvorak-white) from the 6 o'clock position to the 11 o'clock position. Eye appears elliptical and has rotated from a 9 o'clock position to a 6 o'clock position.
Outflow on the eastern side is marked by thin cirrus clouds.
The large cloud layer and western feeder band appear to have been intruded on by drier air, as they have broken down somewhat.
There may be an increase in westerly shear, but due to the satellites just coming back on line, 1 frame doesn't tell a lot.
