Re: dimensions

Generally, small storms start out from small entities and larger storms start out from larger entities. I don't have the statistical correlation numbers to provide hard evidence to that, however.

Eyewall size and overall dimensions of the storm may have a weak correlation. Generally as eyewall size increases after eyewall replacement cycles, the storm's overall size gets larger. I also don't have anything more concrete than this, however.
