Yes, and that's a great concern of mine. We've seen Isabel reach cat-5 intensity (IMO peaking at 150 kts late Thursday) over sst's of 82-83°....and now she's heading into even warmer heat content potential....

Contrary to SHIPS guidance, it won't shock me to see Isabel even stronger than before, at least in the 24-48 hour period before shear becomes an inhibiting factor. A large hurricane that intense will take a lot of cooler sst's north of Hatteras and shear to weaken it.
