  Does this count as an embedded center? I estimate that the center is SE of the darkest blue.

  Hello sylverone.I think,this could be difficult.We have a rounded blue area->#embedded-center,but #shear is poss., too,which I would choose.

  Both are reasonable. It does look like there is some pretty significant northerly shear, as seen by the clouds displaced to the south

  I considered shear, but passed on it since I wasn't seeing obvious grey cloud bands like in the example images...

  ... Is there somewhere I can read a basic description of what shear is?

  Shear is when the wind changes (direction and/or speed) with height. The clouds go different ways at different levels - not good for storms
