Fabulosa essa animação. O quadrante SW parece ter o outflow bastante diminuído.

HURRICANE DANNY DISCUSSION NUMBER 17
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL042015
1100 AM AST SAT AUG 22 2015

Danny's cloud pattern is similar to that of six hours ago, with a
central dense overcast and some outer banding in the northeastern
semicircle. However, the size of the overcast has diminished with
the center getting closer to the edge. The initial intensity is
decreased to 80 kt based on decreasing satellite intensity
estimates and continuity from the previous advisory. However, this
could be generous.
NOAA and Air Force Reserve Unit reconnaissance
aircraft are scheduled to investigate Danny this afternoon and
should provide a better estimate of its intensity.

The initial motion is now 285/10. There is no change in the
forecast philosophy from the previous advisory, with Danny expected
to turn westward and accelerate later today as the subtropical ridge
to the north of the cyclone builds westward and strengthens. This
general motion is expected to persist for the next several days
taking Danny across the Leeward Islands in about two days, and near
Puerto Rico and Hispaniola in 3 to 4 days. The track model
guidance remains in good agreement with this, and the forecast
track lies near the center of the track guidance envelope.

Danny is expected to move through a dry and stable air mass and
encounter moderate to strong southwesterly vertical wind shear for
at least the next three days. This should cause continued
weakening, and the cyclone is forecast to be a tropical storm as it
moves over or near the northeastern Caribbean Islands.
The
intensity forecast becomes lower confidence at days 4 and 5 due to
the uncertainty in how much land Danny will encounter, disagreements
between the dynamical models over the forecast shear, and continued
divergence between the models forecasting Danny to dissipate and the
models forecasting it to survive. The latter part of the forecast
compromises between these extremes by showing a continued weakening
trend.

A tropical storm watch is being issued for portions of the Leeward
Islands at this time. Additional watches or warning may be
necessary for this area, as well as the Virgin Islands and Puerto
Rico, later today or tonight.

Nunca chegou a recuperar do pico de ontem, estrutura já a degradar-se muito, nos últimos frames desta animação parece o centro da circulação a ficar já exposto.

Dá a sensação de já lhe faltar estrutura vertical no lado SW... Pelo menos por esta animação...

Sim, o núcleo já estava inclinado há umas horas, o NHC refere isso na discussion, uma sonda atirada no centro pelo avião no nível de voo esta tarde quando chegou à superfície já não estava no centro mostrando que o ciclone já estava com a estrutura vertical inclinada para nordeste.
Mas no satélite até nem se notava muito esse efeito do shear, nestes últimos frames sim, parece que foi quase um "empurrão" hehe, a circulação em superficie continua o caminho e a convecção ficou para trás.
