Yea, just noticed that the eye has become more disorganized in the last few images....could just be a short term trend...the next couple of hours should clue us in. If the eye continues being very ragged...may just make landfall as a Cat 1....if we see a narrowing of the eye again...a sure sign of regained strength. Keep in mind though, that the storm is moving further away from the JAX radar...could be an artifact of that. Aircraft recon observations will help in the next few hours.

I am stuck at work so I can't read thru the whole thread. Can anyone give me a sitrep on the area just north of Orlando? My brother in law and family are riding it out down there.

NOAA has option to view Short Range Reflect and Long Range.

When I select Savannah, GA, I get the Charleston, SC map, and I am able to select the Long Range Reflect. But I have not done that since about 12:30AM EDT.
