NOAA tail Doppler radar data also shows an eye forming and the vortex tilt, which was still large last night, has decreased substantially. More signs that indicate Melissa is poised to make a sprint in its intensity.

I created this animation of surface wind & pressure from 10-second output from the WRF model using one of our many simulations of the storm.
Notice how dramatically the wind speed decreases over land due to friction. Also pay attention to lower wind speeds over the #Miami metro area.
