Looking on tropical tidbits IR satellite loop, what does the pink represent near the center where the eye is now clouded over? On the loop, it was there briefly.
That shear is really shredding this storm apart and I'm not sure how it's still a cat 4 despite looking like a 2
It's not. We're just waiting for Recon to correct the incorrect designation by the NHC Office.
Looking kinda rough at the moment....seems like the shear is having more impact than the models anticipated.
Guess that goes to show models are great tools but ya just have to wait and see. They didn’t expect the rapid blowup last night and the deterioration today.
Will be interesting to see if it weakens to 980-985 will it effect the track.
Yeah. The models weren't bonkers enough to depict such a large swing in intensity in a mere 42 hours. From TS to Category 5 to Category 2. Then there's the matter of the COC moving due west if not a smidge N of W. The Freaking Steering Pattern is changed.

They rarely do when it’s a double whammy of shear and then dry air into the core.
Down to 120 mph on BT. Yeesh.
Can't believe we were talking about historic last night
Just goes to show that even though track forecasts have gotten a lot better intensity leaves a lot to be desired

On the IR loop, the west side looks alittle better. Looks more rounded and darker colors mixing in. ??
