Re: Hurricane and Tropical Storm Watches issued for parts of Florida

Hurricane Michael has been reorganizing overnight. It appears that the storm has finally closed off the eyewall... bad sign!

The horse tail like cirrus clouds on the periphery are also indicative of a decrease in wind shear... bad sign!

I haven't checked the RECON data yet, but it shouldn't be long before Michael returns to strengthening.

Michael has also jumped a bit toward the west. Only 25 miles, but that can add up.
I don't know if the jump was an Eye reorganization or a bit of a turn to the NW.

Watch this Storm closely today and tonight.
