Td's of upper 60's to 70's are PLENTY of moisture to promote growth of thunderstorms....

right now the dry air that has eaten into the core is also quite noteable still, like a chunk of the deep convection has been eaten into though there is convection in there firing up which may help to cover it up a little.
I've got to add something. Even with the dry air pushing in, Ed is still intensifying and the latest satelittle image looks VERY impressive I'm just thinking. If that dry air wasn't coming in...could we be easily looking at a Cat. 3 to possibly Cat. 4?

actually yes. If the center had been covered its entire life, it may have been nearing hurricane strength at this time, and I probably would have put it at 100mph. Of course this is not the case, and we will be looking at a minimal hurricane at most.
Sanibel, you're posts are usually like something from The Far Side.

Come on Frank. Seriously. Of all the people on the site to suggest that anyone has an agenda...
I don't so much think anyone wants it to "explode" which isn't really in the cards anyway. Upper limit is likely no greater than barely a Cat 1. That's not like someone -removed- for a 5 to come out of this. The real deal is that there are numerous posters in the potential path of Edouard that are interested in what it does because if it's more than they bargained for or anticipated, they need to use their own best judgment and advice of their local NWS/NOAA office in what they have to do. You're not going to bring in all the plants for some 20-25mph gusts, but if you're looking at something 40 or higher, its' another story. Same thing if you're talking about the differnce between 2 and 5 inches of rain. There is a big difference and there isn't a lot of time. JMO of course.

Ed looks well-organized on satellite, but, as Derek mentioned, nothing yet per recon that is any higher than mentioned in the last NHC advisory...
It's close proximity to land is helping to slow it's development, but, we'll see what happens...
