nostal(G) : REDUCED PHOENIX WEST REVERSED 2003 :

Wind and cloud structure in nostalG on this day was very interesting. While remnants of an inner eye were occasionally visible, including a report of a big buildup, the large radius eyewall was more prominent,
at least at our altitude.  As on the  previous day, strongest winds tended to be in the quadrants away from the convection.  There were west and northwest winds dominating the western semicircle right into the
center, while a major divergent source region was on the east side. This source region apparently was responsible for the huge cirrus shield extending even to 140 nm west of the center, with falling "snow" at
our altitude in spite of strong west (!) winds.  On entry from the west, at about 2306 UTC, the large-scale eye was manifestly visible in a swirling pattern in the low clouds, but this feature was about 30 nm NW of
the eye position as reported by NOAA and the wind eye at our altitude.
