Well its 3:30 a.m. and it is inland but the storms have increased over the center/or near the center significantly in the last hour. The convection is really blowing up with deep reds to almost black on the infrared. WOW! I think she will be a formitable foe. It also looks like it has moved on a more NW-NNW course, but may not last. I don't think it will go back to WNW though. Probably NW. Well , I'm off to bed now. See ya in a few hours.
