This 3-D examination using GPM's DPR (looking toward the west) showed that dry air moving into the southeastern side of the hurricane had caused partial erosion in that part of Fernanda's eye wall (5:10 p.m. July 17, 2017; 0110 UTC July 18). Powerful storms in the unbroken western side of Fernanda's eye wall were found to still reach altitudes above 9.3 miles (15 km).
