It looks to me like it is distributing some of its energy to the large band offshore, waiting to bring it back in when it emerges into the Gulf.

This is what Gulf Stream condensation will do for you...

I'm surely glad she's not offshore!

Since she was intensifying at landfall, she might not even "know" she's over land yet...I've noticed this phenomenon when an intensifying hurricane moves over a very low lying area or an island...To Katrina, the narrow tip of south Florida might seem like just an island (the storm's CDO is already moving into the Gulf) and Katrina might not even weaken at all (if it continues over the swampy far southern tip)...Any thoughts?

She's still feeding off the gulf stream. With no elevations to stop her
over south Florida, she's nt going to weaken much at this rate.

Yes, at this rate the center can be over 90f GOM waters by 2 to 3am!!!!!!!! :eek: :eek: Even the most unlikely scenario says it goes down to 70mph, but could it hold on to Cat 1 strength??

A Cat 3 in the GOM by late Sat. does not sound to extreme soon.

The eye seems to be reappearing on radar...this could be a dry slot, but it sure looks just like the eye that was visible on radar at landfall (the eye filled in for a while as it passed Miami).

I can not believe what I'm seeing. I'm seeing the eye redeveloping over land.

I can see a defin southwest movement of the entire convection. Well have to see the 11pm update. may start tpo recurve back west soon though. Its amazing its ben overland awhile and i see no sign of weekening at all. That tip that far south is all water though so i would assume it would maybe weeken to 70mph or so b4 hitting the golf in my opinion.

I was about to post exactly the same thing. A strong band seems to be wrapping around the center on the northwest side again. (Watching the MIA short range base loop)
