Quote: IR indicates the SW Quadrant to be very impressive. Any comments on this as to intensification?
I'm not sure I see what you are refering to in the SW Quadrant. (Looking back. I see 2 round convective areas in the SW Quadrant) What I did notice was the build up around the eye. Which wasn't as obvious at 0645Z. At 0845Z there is what appear to be a dome of clouds over the center with an eye in the middle. A full wrap-a-round of the 'eyewall' doesn't appear complete. As the thickness of the wall-like structure is diminished from due East clockwise through SSW.
