Wow, she's really weakened. Flight level winds down ~30 knots from peak, pressure up to 913 mb, and the eyewall's opened up. Eyewall replacement cycle, or is something starting to weaken her down finally?

This is a classic, normal, eyewall replacement.

And you know that for sure from this line of the VORTEX:

M. C017-55

The "CO" means "concentric"...I.E. the bullseye of the old inner eyewall inside the new outer eyewall. 17-55 means the old eyewall is 17 nautical miles wide and the new eyewall is 55 nautical miles wide.

I am wondering the same thing about the eye wall. Didn't it reorganize quickly overnight?
