She's starting to move out!

Latest visible loops seem to indicate that she's on the move. SHe's moving NW now and gaining some strenght IMO. Looks like the environment to her north - northwest will be more favorable - less shear. I think she'll strengthen before landfall. Bring it up 10 - 15 knots. Cheers!!

I am with your observation Steve. Bring her in at 110-115, and moving pretty quick 15-18.

With 10,000' flight level winds of 128 mph measured on the last eyewall penetration, Isabel's likely back to 110-115 mph now...

Many times that's whena hurricane will deepen explosively...when it begins to accelerate...like Opal did in October 1995.

Not good news... some people earlier to day thought she was weakening. I hope they are paying attention now! :o
