Little bit of a moat after the southern eyewall. Thinking maybe a little dry air? Everyone free to chime in of course

I noticed this too.  I think it's subsidence occurring radially inward from the strengthening outer band on the south side.  Perhaps the beginnings of the formation of concentric eyewalls.

Yeah, i think the recon will shed some light on this feature.  it's also possible that the moat is a relic of the land interaction, as an earlier poster suggested.

Stupid amount of lightning in the northern eyewall

This makes me think we are starting to see the effects of increasing southerly shear, which is arguably visibly evident in the visible loop to the south of the storm.  Shear will make the inner eyewall lopsided and can "supercharge" the eyewall convection on the downshear flank a bit.

The radar at Key West appears to show a second wind region of strong winds organizing, which may mean that the moat is due to a new eyewall developing.

If correct not a good time to have that happen.  It will have time to "recover" / tighten up before landfall.  If it did not tighten up then the result would be a much more spread out wind field.  We'll have to see how this goes.

Agreed. I think we may also be witnessesing the first stages of an attempted EWRC.

Couple of trends with the 00z/12z guidance today:
1.) Big rainfall totals for Florida up into Carolinas
2.) Ian maintains or strengthens up until first US landfall
3.) Ian may emerge back over SE Atlantic Ocean then make 2nd landfall in GA or SC.
4.) Moderate flooding impacts possible up into southern VA this weekend.

Definitely watching in Charleston. Wouldn’t be shocked to see even at Cat 1 run up in here

Agreed, that's where I am. I'm starting on drainage work at home today, but it's something that needed to happen anyway.

 

It's been interesting watching this one run east but there's a lot of time left. Tomorrow will be when a lot of locals really start paying attention.

Well what worries me is a continued east track and the Gulf Stream. Absolute jet fuel for a weakening system as it goes back out over the water
