Explaining the phrase 目がくっきり


I found an article
[here](http://www.excite.co.jp/News/weather/20160706/Tenkijp_7261.html), and
it's title starts with the phrase 目がくっきり. How to translate it?




> 「[目]{め}が **くっきり** としていて、～～」
>
> = "the (typhoon's) eye looks _**sharp and clear**_ , and ~~"

「くっきり」 means "sharp-looking", "clear-looking", etc.

In the given context, 「目」 refers to 「[台風]{たいふう}の目」 ("the eye of a typhoon"),
and in this case, the eye looks very sharp and clear. We just refer to the
center of a typhoon as 台風の目.

「～～ **と** している」 is a common phrase describing a characteristic of a thing.

「くっきり」 is also often used to describe human eyes as well.

We say the center of the typhoon as 台風の目(eye of typhoon) because it looks like
eye.

The clearer the eye show the stronger the stream is. How about "the eye of
typhoon shows clearly"?
