Katrina Forecast Two

Katrina is really getting its act together this afternoon. Minimum central pressure reported by aircraft was 1002 millibars and winds are 45 mph (40 knots). The outflow of this system is looking pretty impressive and it is fairly symetrical.

INTENSITY FORECAST:
Inital -- 45 mph
12 Hrs -- 55 mph
24 Hrs -- 65 mph
36 Hrs -- 85 mph
48 Hrs -- 55 mph
72 Hrs -- 75 mph
96 Hrs -- 100 mph
120 Hrs -- 100 mph...Inland

**Between 96 and 120 Hrs., I am forecast a Category Three hurricane with winds of about 125 mph to make landfall on the Alabama coast.**

I don't want Katrina. But, I have a feeling it will head for the Florida Penisula. I passed through Pensacola-Navarre on my way to Destin just 2 weeks ago. It was sad. Debris has not been picked up from Dennis. Debris in piles all along the streets. Tarps on almost every other roof. Some businessess still not open because of destruction.
