Emphasizing this point:
If the clear area on visible satellite was the storm center, it would be the center of circulation, meaning winds to its north should be from the ENE.
But it’s southeasterly. The actual center is beneath the cloud cover, northwest of the clear area. https://t.co/UML5d0tN5T pic.twitter.com/xKlf3cidZc
