Is that considered landfall or just short of?

wow Katrina Just aped right up http://www.weatherunderground.com/radar ... vzoom=zoom

[Astro_man92]

I've been recording the images taken by Miamis NEXRAD radar. I put the images though a slid show and it looks like Katrina is heading towards Miami not just the eye but the whole system

EDIT: NOTE: I'm working with 28 images (roughly the last 2 and a half hours or so)

Landfall is an hour or so away. The eye is still barely offshore.

Storm... those models haven't been thrown out, just given "less weight", and the NHC gives good reasoning why. It sure makes sense to me.

Also, one run of the models flopping westward does not equate a trend.

A lot less weight when we are talking several hundred miles.

Wow, she looks very impressive! So, how much strength do you think she'll lose as she travels over the peninsula? I think it won't be too much as she's travelling over a part pretty far south and she's going to go right over the Everglades. Any thoughts on this, y'all?

Tampa met said they found wind gusts on Vipir of 104mph.

[shaggy]

i think enough of the eyewall is onshore to really hamper any more intensification but all in all she won't be much more than a nuisance storm for SE florida the panhandle or wherever she goes next might be a different story if she moves slower over the GOM

Are you sure???!?!?!?!??!?!?!?

[WeatherEmperor]

If Katrina makes landfall on the Miami-Dade/Broward boarder line, what will become the official landfall point? Will that be it?

[LilNoles2005]

Those aren't the only models that the NHC uses, so there's no telling how much weight was put on those models that shifted west. The NHC did say, however, that their forecast is slightly east of their model consensus. We aren't talking several hundred miles when you consider the model consensus.

All I know is that the NHC knows what they are doing, so I put much more faith into what they say over what a few models say.

[Sanibel]

Much better structure. Storm is reflecting Gulf Stream boost in improved form.

Look for wind increases!

My eyes must be bad as I see a almost SW motion?

you gotta look at the radar to see a much better true movement.

What's the Vipir

[Sanibel]

WSW was wobble.


North eyewall landfall Ft Lauderdale downtown...

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

Now thats a hurricane. It now has a circle of reds/yellows. WOW!!!

[WeatherEmperor]

Katrina ready to make landfall.

a good question is what will be the landfall point since its almost at the Dade/Broward boarder line.
