Well it must unfortunately be the latter because we are not seeing a "rapidly solidifying eye", IMHO.

Of course a pro should clarify on this...

Agreed. It looked like it may have been accelerating for about 30 minutes but now it looks like it has stalled, at least thats way I am seeing it.

Stalling is not good, the more time this has over the warm water the more she will strengthen. Im gonna loose some sleep tonight, thats for sure.

I think doctor Gray would look good in a pink polka dot suit. Will add a little more flare to him, Maybe it will help him reach out to the younger viewers

Agree - Looks to me like all the weather across FL is moving W or SW to me... In fact, the whole SE US looks to be WSW or W.

And Katrina herself surely looks west - at least at the moment.

If Katrina is really gonna be moving WSW then the GFDL did a good job of picking up on it.
