Some images from this morning. Seeing stable but rather fuzzy as the jetstream is parked over us at the moment.
The two white ovals in the NEB are quite close at the moment. I wonder if they will eventually merge?

tions and streaks (lace-type). Bright (7/10) areas are noted within the darker areas.
North Equatorial Belt (NEB): Appears dark to dusky (3-4/10) with dark (3/10) condensations

rifts are also noted over it's midsection.  The southern border contains bluish-green festoons
 which project into the EZ.
