1100 PM AST Wed Jul 29 2020

Observations from recent scatterometer passes over the system show
that it now has a sufficiently well-defined center to be
designated as a tropical cyclone.

That says well-defined center, not well-defined eye. A tropical cyclone can have an obvious center without having a cleared out, visible eye.

Recon is coming in hot. 87 kt flight level. 65 kt surface estimate.

Which would be Hurricane Isaias.

Officially Hurricane Isaias. 80 mph winds. S

Yeah. He went from large and broad center to a tightly wound ball of central dense overcast after passing over Hispaniola

It's that steepness of gradient.

It feels like Isaias went from big arse barely tropical cyclone to a big arse supercell mesovorticies.

Bahamas about to get a boatload of rain...

I’m going with a Cat 2 landfall on the South/North Carolina border early Tuesday morning.

I think there’s a strong possibility it’s shifts west and shoots up Florida then exits around Jax. Really hope that’s wrong and it stays offshore.

NHC is monitoring two other disturbances this morning, both over the tropical Atlantic Ocean. The system near Africa has a chance to become a tropical depression later today, while the system near 45W could slowly develop over the SW Atlantic next week. LINK

GTFO. Central Florida isn't even in the cone. Jax is at the very western edge.
