Derek, I am truly asking if Katrina could fall apart as it approaches the northern gulf. I know you write a lot about the heat content in the gulf and how the Northern Gulf tends to snuff out powerful hurricanes. Do you see this happening with this storm.
Tim
Derek will this thing fall apart in Northern Gulf??

it wont fall apart regardless
it may weaken one category in the final 3 hours before landfall, but we'd then be talking a cat 3 storm, which as we saw with Dennis and Ivan is very destructive
if it hits Louisiana, it may come in at peak intensity thanks to the warm eddy just offshore, which has the HIGHEST heat content in the entire basin
if it goes to MS, it will still weaken some
