Do you think it's going through ERC now?

Matt-hurricanewatcher · #150 Postby **Matt-hurricanewatcher** » Tue Mar 28, 2006 3:13 pm

Yes its going through a EWRC. Lets watch it over the next few hours to see if it starts forming a new eye. Then it will strengthen again.

Matt-hurricanewatcher · #151 Postby **Matt-hurricanewatcher** » Tue Mar 28, 2006 3:14 pm

You can kind of see that it may be trying to form a larger eye.

Beautiful picture of Glenda although the eye is not very clear.

cheezyWXguy · #156 Postby **cheezyWXguy** » Tue Mar 28, 2006 6:36 pm

I think its going thru an ERC...in about 12 hrs or so it should start to restrengthen

Derek Ortt · #157 Postby **Derek Ortt** » Tue Mar 28, 2006 7:53 pm

looked at it about 10 hours ago and I am not surrpised it has started to weaken as the outflow had become quite elongated in an N-S direction
