Latest satellite imagery strongly supports Tip's analysis of the near CDO or CDO-type structure in the center of the system. Recent images of varying enhancements are indicating a spike in the cloud tops just to the west of the central area. Probably a convective hot tower-CHT. Also noted is a small circular area just to the east of the CHT. Some slight indication of an eye-like structure using several image enhancements.
Outflow channels are seen in early stages to the northwest and along the lower periphery of the system. Near and along the ITCZ.
Current tropical forecast points indicate the CHTs are nearly one degree south of the 23/ 12Z position. This would take the system on a more West or WNW track as Tip stated above. Still plenty of room for the storm to turn back on track. Is the lack of separation from the ITCZ prolonging the westward track?
