She's baaaaaaaack

Latest satellite loop shows a pure westward motion and a reintensification phase. Her inner eyewall isn't complete yet but it should finish soon.

Looks like the next advisory might be down to 155 or 150 however I think she has a slight chance (50%) of becoming a 5 again.

I'm going to be watching the T numbers like a hawk...

Who is right Steve Globals or the suite? To early to tell right because of the slow movement.

I keep seeing people say "Florida is clear" when the predictions were West movement at least 24 more hours (that was 5 am this morning). Another 24 hours west and no one is in the clear.......

The eye still looks very well defined. However looking at the outflow north of the circulation is not as defined as it was. The air needs to evacuate out more in order to cause reaction to intensity. Isabel stil could become a cat 5 for the second time, that's if the outflow improves more so than it is now. Still a very healthy and dangerous hurricane!!!

Oncea again as I was alluding to, Isabel is one of 5 cat 5 hurricanes, which have lasted longer than 30 hours time. Hurricane Dog in 1950 lasted 60 hours time as category 5, which is unheard of!! Hurricane Allen was a cat 5 not once, but 3 times in it's lifetime with a minimum central pressure of 899 mb and max winds of 190 mph. So obviously Isabel is ranking up there in the history books when it comes to duration time cat 5s can last!!! Quite impressive and fascinating as well!!!

That's unbelievable Jim!

The latest satelite loops have shown a stair climb to the north and then a more westerly direction again.
