The image is not very good, but we can get an idea of Rita's eye.

IMO He central core isnt looking all that great at the moment judging by this radar and the long range out of Miami. If what Im seeing is her "eye" then she has awhile to go until she bombs like some are saying. Her eye needs to consolidate a bit better. But anyways, with the latest explosion of convection this should take place over the next few hours. I wouldnt be to surprised to wake up and see a cat 2. But that might be the upper limits. We'll see...Im seriously thinking about chasing this storm with a buddy of mine to Texas later this week, so I'll see you texas folks Friday, (Im hoping for some weakening prior to landfall for ya'lls sake!) :lol: 8-)
