LOL it certainly isn't dying, but I do think it will be a cat. 4 or less by the time it makes landfall. Cat 5 is highly unlikely. It's weird, at 5pm local weatherman said it's going to florida shouldn't affect us but tonight they had changed their tone completely and one had become noticeably concerned about Ivan hitting Louisiana. New Orleans is taking it very seriously as well...from what I've gathered the city is basically shutting down tomorrow.

More North?
Looks like Ivan may be moving more northward than westward. From the previous advisory, he went .4 degrees N and only .2 degrees west. If this trend continues, then the models at 6z will be interesting.

Windspeed hasn't been supported based on what? The vortex now is 134 kt which is borderline but the 150 kts in the past vortex message support it.
