Re: Tropical Storm Matthew Forms in Western Gulf of Mexico

I have noticed the high thin cirrus is more prevalent on the western quads of Matthew. Sat imagery through 0400Z continues to show a central storm core with very high cloud tops and a near-complete ring of -75 to -80deg cloud top temperatures surrounding the core.

Recon is airborne should have some new data within the hour.
