It appears that dry air controls 1/2 the storm and that deep convection is limited on NW and W sides. Lets hope that stays that way. One good influx of dry air to the center and it could weaken. I dont think we see it any stronger at landfall.

I've been noticing the dry air for days...but some people (well, most people) get sucked in by the hype of a Cat. 5 storm that was a few days still from hitting land.

People don't realize that Rita's 175 mph days were spent churning over some of the warmest water in the entire Atlantic basin. They figure it's going to stay that way until landfall.

Not trying to brush off a landfalling hurricane, but I wish more people would look at reality. I just don't see this as the end-of-the-world scenario so many in the news media almost seem to be *hoping* for. Some of these people should take the time to gain some understanding of a water vapor loop.....just my two cents.
