Both Hurricane Fran and
former Hurricane Edouard can be seen in this loop. The eye
is usually the point of reference used for tracking
hurricane motion.
What to
Observe
Hurricane Fran's eye
appears as a warm region, indicative of low cloud tops or
surface temperatures
Hurricane Fran's eye is
embedded within a region of colder, higher cloud
tops
By the end of the loop,
the cold cloud top area (red region) completely surrounds
Fran’s eye; this indicates Fran has a well-developed
eye and eyewall
Hurricane Fran has
colder cloud-top temperatures than Edouard
