Yeah, thats why I said flight level winds of 110.




cool - what is the flight level ...i.e, 950mb, 700mb ...etc?




The flight-level is 700mb. A 950mb flight level would not be advised in this situation.

The "eye" has cleared out even more on the 0015Z IR image, though there appear to be bands of convection to the SW and NE of the center that are impinging on the eye, giving it an oblong appearance. It gives the impression of a smaller eye trying to form by wrapping bands of convection closer into the center.
