If these are surface winds and the snap shot was taken at around 10:00 Zulu, then am I seeing most of a circulation visible? About the only thing I can't find is a southerly wind. hmmm...

You can also see some 30Kt winds in and near the center, along with some uncontaminated 40Kt winds in the rain band to the east.

Now is the rain band to the east considered a part of 99L? (it is 99L now, right? *laughs* my apologies, on even less sleep than normal).
