Huge System

#1 Postby Scorpion » Tue May 17, 2005 8:56 pm

Looking at the IR pics, I noticed how big this system really is. It looks the size of a well formed hurricane, and has very good banding in my view. I would not be surprised if it bombed into a nice looking Cat 3. Imagine if it crossed over and made it into the Caribbean as a Cat 2, then re-intensified into a Cat 3. It would surely be big news in Florida even if it doesnt affect us.

If it crossed over, its guaranteed that it would not be a category 2 even if its a category 3 at landfall :)

And all of this could happen before the Atlantic season begins!

Yes the outflow does make it look large.

In satellite pics, you can tell its becoming more and more concentrated and trying to form a more centralized area of storms (I'm personally not ready to say CDO yet, but perhaps the beginning of one)

I see no reason for this not to be upgraded.

1# Perfect banding
2# starts of a cdo
3# Favable upper level outflow
4# It is going to keep up oreganizing.
