This actually confirms my suspicion that Haiyan was much higher than 895mb. Josh measured 960mb a few miles from the edge of the eye, no way there was a 65mb pressure drop between him and the eye.
Gotta love the saturation. And that solid -80c ring brings the T number to 8.1!!!!!!!!!

Only one other storm had a raw T above 7.5 in the last week
Euro is handling the southern stream trough/cutoff off the southeast coast differently than other models. It is a lot stronger and further southwest in the medium range. It pulls ETA east and stalls it instead of letting it come north.
The eye shape looks great, and stable. It could use some more warming though, which will probably happen in the next few hours. I already like this better than delta.
Looks like the storm we've been waiting for. Has a Pinhole eye thats rapidly warming. Probably deepening 3mb/hr.
This is a good time to move the storm floater over to some random clouds over the mid atlantic.
IF the HWRF is correct, it's already a cat1 below 980mb Banding on the west side looks a lot better than a few hours ago, and there's a large convective burst over the core.
