OITAVO FURACÃO MAIS INTENSO DO ATLÂNTICO.
Since the previous advisory, WSR-88D radar data from San Juan Puerto Rico has shown the development of concentric eyewalls and a double-wind maximum. This has led to an increase in the size of the 50- and 64-kt wind radii.
Since the outer eyewall has become better defined and the winds are increasing within the outer eyewall, it is likely that Maria's intensification will finally cease.
