  Hey, I'm just starting this program and I would like a little reassurance. What type of storm is this? Why?

  Hi, I'm not an expert, but it looks like an #embedded type , starting to spin; on the way to be a very strong one.

  You can see circular cold clouds in center beginning to have a whirl shape; looking consistent with the forth model of embedded sample

  Welcome alleycatpeace! #Embedded-center storms have a circular feature with no obvious "eye" (central circular area with very warm colors)

  This image seems like it is trying to form an eye but is not quite there yet, so I think #embedded-center is the best choice.

  But don't worry if you think you are wrong, that is why we have many others looking at the same images. 😃

  Many difficult images with this storm. White thing is probably an island. #eye feature noted just to the SE of island
