AHHH - I'm soooo glad this is back.

Now, back to Rita. The storm looks to be organizing with very deep convection and cloud tops around the northern eyewall and to the SW approaching -70 to -80C. This is going to be a very loooong weekend.

I'm not the only one suffering withdrawal, eh? :lol:

Looks like we're going to have landfall a little quicker than forecast, and maybe right on the border.

Umm - it is poppycock to suggest Houston is out of the woods. I would think people had learned by now not to make such premature (or shall I say immature) remarks when the storm has still out to sea - heading very slowly towards land, with wobbles WNW at times, and NNW at times.

Carla was 931 mb. This is going to be a very serious situation especially for Port Arthur and Beaumont.

It is not poppycock. Houston has dodged a bullet. Landfall will be 95-120+ miles away.

Is Rita still having an ERC? I saw a radar loop on one of the stations and thought I an inner and outer eye. However my own eyes may have been deceiving me.

Yeah, six hours looks about right. Maybe even a tad sooner.

Interactiion with land is unlikely to allow much increased organization. Eye does seem to be tightening up a bit, though. I doubt this changes intensity much either way before landfall.
