This is Category 3 Hurricane Gonzalo.
It is in the Atlantic Ocean, those islands in this picture being the Bahamas and Hispaniola.
It is heading north-northwestward at 5 mph, about to be deflected by a trough in the Eastern USA. That will put it on a more northerly track and cause it to come close to or hit the island of Bermuda.
The eye is fluctuating, causing the intensity of this cyclone to fluctuate. It will soon pass into drier air and over sharply colder water within a few days, becoming extra-tropical.
I am sorry it is not a beautiful RGB image. The RGB feed had a sharp distortion in it.
I hope Bermuda is spared the worst and no one is hurt.
