detailed important Hurricane Lane information from NHC!
The article I linked to says Lane is.. "angular"!..
"While the storm has gained strength over the past day and its winds are only 7 mph shy of Category 5 strength, the hurricane center predicts it will begin slowly weakening over the next 24 hours due to increasing wind shear, which would disrupt thunderstorm development.
However, the storm has attained an annular structure, meaning its large eye is surrounded by a single, uniform ring of thunderstorms. Just 4% of hurricanes and typhoons are annular, and they are known for their staying power, weakening more slowly under unfavorable conditions compared with conventional storms."
