Looking as the visible (static and in motion), it really looks like an eye is trying to develop?????? Perhaps reforming a center south of previous??? Any thoughts???

What would it take for a Recon mission to be scheduled to investigate a possible new center trying to form south and west of the main system? (or would that not be necessary given the proximity to the coast/data already available?)

IF a center was detected offshore via radar, I suspect re tasking in short order wouldn't be that big of a deal for the 53rd. After all, there were tasked missions that were cancelled and Keesler isn't that far away.

Srain, thanks very much for your reply and for keeping everyone updated on the latest. In your opinion, based on the latest imagery, is the radar close to actually detecting a new center forming?

Steve,

Perhaps it's just my eyes. Maybe a center has reformed south or the system has moved south. Your thoughts?
