It fully supports the 140 mph at the surface that they have in their 1 p.m. advisory.

thats a pretty big eye at 40 miles. Watch and see if itbegins to contract. If it does (like it did yesterday), look for the pressure to start falling and the winds to begin increasing. That eddy of warm water I keep hearing about concerns me. It could provide some fuel for intensification shortly before landfall. Good luck to everyone in Ivan's path.

Go there, enter "nhc" into the station box, then select how many hours you want for the archive (or recent for the latest), then check off "raw data" and select Reconnaisance.

its getting awfully close to Louisana....
Im going to secure some things outside just in case we get some gusts, which in this storm is very possible, even this far from landfall center.
May God watch over all of you in the path. Be careful! Ivan's a hell of a storm.

When I was able to get a radar image from Cancoun(sp) a couple of hrs. ago a nice big eye was visable. Unfortanately their radar page is hard to get into(darn). I also recently tried Puerto-Rico radar site to see if the other system shows up on long-range but couldn't get into that radar either(darn again). Pressure beginning to fall in SE gulf buoy, here's direct link....

At current speed and bearing, tropical storm force winds extend 29 hours before landfall.
