I have been reading the 200+ posts made this morning all commenting on this model run vs that model run, with everyone debating the storm's future track. But not one comment has been made as to the storm's strength / structure. I would like some input from some of the more meteorologically inclined folks (you know who you are!) as to exactly what Dennis is doing structure wise. My personal (unprofessional) opinion is that the storm looks a whole lot less organised than it did last night. The convection is not as intense (this was even mentioned in the last NHC discussion) and seems to be more ragged. Looking at the visible shot, there hardly appears to be any clouds at all in the NW quadrant....I just don't see any rapid intensification happening in the near future. Anyone else see what I am talking about, or am I not reading this correctly? I know developing storms sometimes go through convective cycles, but the past 8 hours has not seen nearly the convective cold cloud tops we saw last night.
