  Found this one really hard - it seemed to alternate between #curvedband and #embeddedcentre every second picture!

  Yes I agree with you. Maybe it could be a #shear-storm, too, because of the colours, which are closed together.

  I would go with #embedded-center based on the central location of the darkest blue (coldest clouds).

  Shear storm is possible but impossible to diagnose just by looking at this image. No low-level (warm) swirls in the clouds visible.

  I'm looking for "swirls" in the low clouds (grey or pink colored). Wind shear will usually push the cold clouds away to expose the swirls

  Struck mentioned how the colors are close together on the north side - this is sometimes an indication of wind shear (from the north) too.

  You can kinda see a rounded wedge shape from NW to SE across this storm. It is being negatively affected by outflow wind shear from ...

  Stronger Tropical Cyclone to the SW. Very close indeed...wondering if this guy sheared out and spiraled into the stronger storm.
