Looks like a 60 MPH TS to me.

It's weakening? That's great, maybe this won't be a major hurricane after all. Good job Rita keep weakening!

I have a feeling she will get angry at me and explode, I hope not

Any weakening is surely temporary.Shes got lots of warm water ahead of her

It looks a little more ragged looking then did earlier. I think the mountains of Cuba are disrupting it's outflow on the side.

Fix to fix in 2 hours...it's moved only 15 mins west...that's what...60 nautical miles in 8 hours...that's somewhere between 7 and 8 knots. Not a huge slowdown...but probably just some relocation as the center is becoming better defined.

As far as weakening...probably not going to happen anytime soon...

I am a litle suprised at the lack of a pressure drop, but given the satellite presentation it is only a matter of time before we see some deepening.

relocation - where? N,S,E,W ??

while not weakening, reports of rapid intensification underway can be cancelled.

If you think 1 mb is weakening, I have oceanfront property to sell. :lol:

Given the satellite appearance, there's no way this will not be a hurricane soon.

soonertwister · #335 Postby **soonertwister** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 2:58 pm

But I ready somebody's post that she was bombing!

(I'll have to check the NHC glossary for the definition of that...)

Matt-hurricanewatcher · #336 Postby **Matt-hurricanewatcher** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 2:59 pm

62 knots at flight=57 mph surface...The data supports 60 mph.

krysof · #337 Postby **krysof** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 3:02 pm

What's funny is that just before bombing, Katrina became really ragged and not very strong. That was right after it entered the gulf. Katrina began expanding rapidly after though and it really bombed. Is Rita following Katrina? Maybe.

I remember that. I went to bed... 115 mph, looked horrible, no visible eye.

The next morning... 8 hours later, boom, Cat 5. :eek:
