    I can see a cat's eye, but I was wondering how this eye is defined verbally.

    This is probably an #obscured-eye storm. The blue clouds in the middle of the white are probably thin clouds covering a well-developed eye

    Cat's eye is a pretty and poetical class, so fast changing as they focus on a prey or widen with anger!

    This is a good example on why we are doing this project. Is it an eye or not? An expert can't even know for sure.

    In my opinion, the mature storm structure and the very cold surrounding cloud suggest this is an eye storm. But it will be interesting to

    worries me is over classifying a storm and getting the rest of the storm wrong and is why I will go to a lower cloud level (temperature)

    when classifying eye storms IE tutorial ,cloud surrounding the center of the eye.

    middle that the satellite can't "see" through. It is probably clear underneath the "blue" cloud to the ocean. Very interesting.
