dosn't it seem in that loop the eye is less defined a drop???

The eye will typically look less defined as the eyewall goes through the ERC. The small eye will be replaced by a larger one in another 12 hours or so. As the new eye emerges, it will clear again. Francis went through this process about 36 hours ago...kinda neat to watch the cycle process.

It is going through another eye wall replacement. It will get a larger eye and a slightly higher pressure for a few hours, then probably resume strengthening as the new eye wall becomes dominant and the eye diameter decreases again.
