Well, now that we have Hurricane Florence...

That *maybe* an eye forming as per several microwave passes, was indeed.. an eye. It would have helped those of us sitting here doing the armchair quarterbacking, as well as NHC, to not have had to guess what she was doing during the satellite eclipse. Good job recon! All the more reason we - must - see more recon put in place, imho.

Eclipse over - satellites back on board - Raw T from CIMSS up to 5.4 and climbing as I type. Florence is undergoing some healthy intensification during the pre-dawn nocturnal max hours, and seems to have her eye set for Bermuda at this point.
