She's Intensifying Folks

Hunker down for sure in the Carolinas northward. Latest loops show better circulation; she's going with the flow; whites beginning to show up on Dvorak; T'storms wrapping all the way around; Gulf Stream ahead: a lot of potential here. I'm thinking moderate Cat 3 for a time! :o

Shear might be letting up a tad. The outflow on the west side is looking better.

Maybe the dry air located west of her is not pushing more east anymore.

Dry air coming off the coast..wether or not it gets entrained..as Wxman57 said is the question. If it does she may weaken :wink: The trof coming down may have some affect too..or as I said before they may cancel each other out. :wink:
