Dennis core growing?

#1 Postby arcticfire » Sat Jul 09, 2005 10:08 pm

I'm curious why the wind stregth of dennis has remained so relativly low compared to the sat images and also the pressure. Also it seems that after forming what amounts to almost a pefectly circular eye on IR the core "apears" to be growing in size. This seems to be happening almost idependently of any convection flare up outside the inner donot.

So I would like to learn , what causes a hurricane to establish such an almost seperated innner structure like this that from what I can see seems to grow in almost perfect symatry?

Winds can Lag as much as 6 hrs after rapid pressure drop before Increasing...Canes Verticaly stack Layer on layer of thunderstorms and once landfall occurs those t-storms start speading to outflow and decrease till its gone!

The warming of the donut some of us surmized was due to possible dry air introduction was actually a pulse. Much worse because a pulsing intensifier usually does what Dennis is currently doing now.

Even worse, structure-wise Dennis just shot a tight thick band west, meaning his western side is good for further strengthening. Track wise I believe it could mean straight NW to coast (?)...

At this rate, he'll get dangerously close to cat 5 strength.

There's still a chance there will be some dryer air pulled into the system as it nears the coast, along with some increasing wind shear. I'm not throwing in the towel yet.

you gotta be kidding me... this is starting to get
a little stupid now. I was thinking I would take my
family to Lucedale in the morning... I'm thinking
Jackson. I bet the roads will be crazy when every
one wakes up in the morning... looking at Cat 4
possible Cat 5...

Last official data is 940 pressure with a ENE transect reading of 131KTS.

Translates to 135mph sustained at surface...

With that western quad band spreading outwards this thing is still bombing. I expect 140 mph at the 2am.

Roughly every 35 years as he mirrors the path of a little know storm back in 69.

Ivan was Tyson,big and bad but scared to take a hit from land.Dennis took all Cuba had to offer and look at him now.

I think Dennis is more of a fighter then Ivan, Because Dennis took Cuba for 12 to 16 hours. Then came out to bomb into the cat4 monster it is now.
