if this is ERC, my understanding is with super strong storms it only takes 4-5 hours for them to complete, then watch out b/c they will ramp up again in intensity

Looks like a bit of dry air is getting into it too

I would say around 2 AM you will see the winds pick up

ERC would cause the windfield to spread out even more... Not good either way...

from the loops, something is happening to the Northwest quad of the storm, maybe shear or dry air but that side doesn't look any where near as good as it did earlier today

There is no dry air any more in the NW of this storm, as the storm's influence drove it all out west and pinched it off.

The eye of Katrina can be seen on long range radar now out of New Orleans...

And as long as everyone is throwing out numbers, here is my official landfall prediction- 140 mph. Just a wild guess, so take it for what it is worth (nothing!).

NOLA will take some damage, but it will be fine IMHO. Give it a month or two to recover, but it will still be the same city come Thanksgiving.

Ask residents of Homestead whether they were serving up turkey in their new homes by Thanksgiving 1992. And they didn't even have to deal with the toxic lake that will take 3 weeks to pump out just to get the city dry...which would happen even if the storm weakened to say 130 mph.
