Definitely the Center of Circulation, or CoC.
Systems don't normally have an Eye until they area near 90 mph sustained winds and/ or pressure near 985mb.
Current location would place all of the Virgin Isles and Puerto Rico in the Right Quadrant with respect to motion/ heading. Hence the Watches and Warning for those areas.
