this was earlier and kinda interesting......there is now new convection near center and will be interesting to see what the winds do next... i think the pane AF304 is nearing her flight time and i don't think will get another vortex drop from Katrina for a little while, unless a noaa P-3 is out there now .... i am not sure... and to reference the eye feature.... i don't think there is an eye just yet visible on sats...just new convection near center.
