Yes the cyclone may possibly be undergoing an ERC if the NHC is correct about the radar showing a new Outer Eyewall Forming.
Thank god for the people in the path of this storm that it possibly is.

As far north as shell go???? Your kidding right? The NHC has her going much farther north than she is now....

IE she is brushing up against it.
Gotcha.

Does the amount of rain in the storm effect how well the radar reads? I ask that because the radar never seems to show as wicked a looking storm as satellite and I know locally our radar is about 25 miles east of us and once the storm passes us here often it looks very weak because the radar can't read as well in heavy rain. Is that true of all radars or just our crappy Hillbilly one here?

Yes, heavy precipiation can and does prevent the signal from accurately passing through the entire system.cancunkid wrote:Does the amount of rain in the storm effect how well the radar reads?

Radar has a hard time penetrating to the far side of the storm when its far away.

The higher the cloud tops (stronger precip.) are the harder it is for the radar to "see" whats beyond them.
Correct me if I'm wrong... I think it's called Attenuation.

Not quite. It's too early. Looks like it may be finished in a few hours, strengthening right into landfall.
