IVAN,,,,,DRY AIR ENTRAINED ????

#1 Postby bobbisboy » Mon Sep 06, 2004 4:20 pm

While all other parameters seem to be a go for rapid intensification it seems as if IVAN has entrained dry air to its core. I'm no expert but that's what it looks like on the sat pics.

No, it doesn't.

Watch the WV loop. Or the visible loop. There is no dry air issue.

It appears that may be what happened earlier to day and helped weaken him, but it now appears to not be an issue at at all because Ivam obviously handled the absorption of that apparent dry slot quite well and appears to be stretngthening again now. Looks much better now than he did earlier.
