compared to what? looks awesome on the sat loops right now



Warmer cloud tops. Especially on the NE quadrant. Watch the IR loop and you will see what I mean.

It's an EYEWALL replacement cycle, not an EYE replacement cycle. Also IR pics aren't very impressive in that the cloud tops are relatively warm for a major hurricane.

Ok well then why did Wilma go from an eye 2 miles wide to one a whole larger after the eyewall replacement cycle?

Even Joe Bastardi is now convinced of a Southern runner. While nothing is certain but death and taxes, the NHC forecast seems correct. Of course, as long as the cone of uncertainty still includes CRP and BRO, Texas isn't 100% safe, but it looks better by the minute.


I don't know my Mexican geography well, maybe this storm can make both landfalls in rural areas far from coastal towns.

Well the IR does not show all of the concentric eyewalls very well. The eye may not fill in as much as it just fades as the outter wall moves inward.. Under IR this is hard to see and the eye will clear and enlarge at first as/if it tighens back down to a pinhole..

Dean looks awesome as this is classic for a major hurricane.. The windfield has expanded with the IRC and now it will strengthen again. Pressures are low it's just the energy has been expanded out further. From the looks of some of those recon and surface obs those exterior bands pack a heckuva punch..

I was nervous enough yesterday to stock up on some storm essentials, and with the Texas part of the season running until late September, may just save a trip to the stores in the next few weeks.

Because the smaller inner eyewall got replaced by a larger outer eyewall.

TWC got it wrong again. Gilbert is the second most intense Atlantic hurricane on record. Wilma is number one.

No surprise. It's a surprise when they get something right.

Cloud top temps have warmed some this evening. Still maintaining an impressive CP despite an EWRC. I was just studing the WV loops and the ULL over the GOM appears to be moving along at about the same speed as Dean. I must admit the models have so far done a pretty good job with Dean. Wendesday night I was very concerned that the ULL might have more of an impact on the track of Dean. I'm glad I was wrong and Dean has stayed south. Hopefully the core of intense winds stay offshore Jamaica but the threat of Dean directly hitting Jamaica is very real. Excellent chance for Dean to become a Cat-5 in the W Cab Sea and could make a run at Wilma or Gilbert as far as intensity goes.....MGC

Take a look at the latest IR satellite. See that fast warming of a circulur area over the northeast side of the eye. That is the first signs that the big eye is starting to clear.
