Re: Eye Formation

Based on the radar, there is still some activity associated with the old inner eyewall. Also, it appears that there could be a another wind maximum just outside of the 70 mi-wide eye feature, as I believe HF mentioned earlier. It may take awhile for Wilma to develop a consolidated inner core and restrengthen, or it may never do so and stay as a broad cat 1-2 hurricane for the duration.
