Re: Tropical Storm Vince forms in the Far Eastern Atlantic

I don't know about Rita having three eyewalls, but it did appear to have a partial inner-eyewall to the north and a partial outer-eyewall to the south when it came ashore, the result of a poorly executed eyewall replacement cycle. The inner core of Rita was disorganized when it hit land, but very intense convection on the northern eyewall kept it from weakening very quickly.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
