Menacing yet quirky
For such a powerful hurricane, Matthew has quite an odd structure. The most unusual feature is the persistent swath of intense showers and thunderstorms (convection) well east of its center, as evident in Figure 1 above. This feature has been in place for most of Matthew's life as a tropical cyclone, and it may have played a role (yet to be determined) in its rapid intensification. For much of Saturday afternoon, this area of convection was actually larger and stronger than the convection around Matthew itself.
