Re: Irene Moving Northwest and Will Likely Head Out to Sea

Well if it was the start of an eye it collapsed now on the IR,

But on the water vapor the appearance of an eye is still visable. However, with a large blob of convection begining to develope a distance away from the 'eye' it is highly doubtful that it is, or ever was an 'eye'. You can see this same convection in the IR loop, probably around the real circulation center, even though the LLC is still impossible to see.
