Hurricane Rita - Cat. 5

[Brent]

I was just thinking it looked like 2pm also. Interesting to see where the placement of the storm is going across the Keys in that map.....

I'm very confused... it did look like "PM" as the issuance time too.

[curtadams]

Rita's having organizational trouble. There's a noticeable secondary circulation center 150-200 miles east. It's been there about a day now. I'd have expected it to dissapate but there it is. It's probably disrupting the eyewall and LL circulation, as well as windspeed on the E side. I'd guess that's why the NE and NW quads are similar in strength.

I have a question. Look at the current animated loop at the Ramsdis site. If you look just to the north of the recent convection blow up, there looks to be the LLC tracking WNW. Am i seeing this correct, or is the LLC under the recent convective blow up?

you are correct, center is north of the blow up, some are tracking the convection not the center

I've been tracking, recon fixes and it moving at 270-275* for the past 5 hours. WNW is 290-295

maybe its just a transient feature. But if that is the LLC, it almost looks like it will track on the east side of Andros island before crossing over, instead of south of Andros

im happy for ya, but the question was where the center is, and it IS north of the convection and is NOT moving wsw like some think just because the convection is

[vaffie]

the general trend is very rapid strengthening

huh? can you post your reason for saying this? pressure? wind speeds? satellite?

none of those show "very rapid strengthening" over the course of any meaningful time frame today.

I'll try--I'm sorry for not being specific:
It has gone from a badly sheared tropical depression and no outflow to the south with a pressure of 1006 mb to just shy of a hurricane with awesome outflow, a CDO or almost a CDO forthe last 10 hours or so and a pressure of 993 mb in the span of 24 hours. If it were to continue strengthening at that rate, which is not even half-maximal for a storm in the Gulf of Mexico at this time of year (remember, Katrina in the same general vicinity and similar conditions dropped at one point 27 mb in 3 hours--here we're talking about only 13 mb in 24 hours), in 5 days, it will be 928 mb when it hits Texas--a strong Cat 4 or 5.

That is the Deputy Director of the NHC Ed Rappaport...

That track is NOT the 11am track:

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/storm_graphics/ ... 24W_sm.gif

The 3-day cone does not cover SE LA.

It looks like the box in the upper right-hand corner says "2PM EDT". I didn't know they made forecast updates every 3 hours though (I guess maybe they don't publicize them...?).

The center is at 23.1N 76.1W as of last vortex.

[caneseddy]

Norcross was alluding to that saying that he's not sure if the center is pver the convection or to the north like some are saying; he said his best bet is that the center is NORTH of the main convection

look, i'm in no way disagreeing with recon, but IF that feature N of the convection is the true center it is most definetley not tracking due W. And it appears now that a local SFLA meteoroligist is also seeing what others here are seeing. IF the LLC is under the convection than it is clearly moving due W

I can vouch for what Norcross said because I saw him talking about it. He also put up the center directly from the 5pm advisory and it is north of that ball of convection.
