Katrina not a major hurricane threat, why?

#1 Postby Stormcenter » Wed Aug 24, 2005 10:11 am

Folks I know a lot of you are concerned about Katrina but the NHC doesn't seem to think she will be anything more than a cat.1 storm and doesn't even mention her possibly becoming a major hurricane now or even after she enters the GOM. Their outlook only has her up to cat.1 strenghth even deep into the GOM. Will shear be factor inhibiting her strenghthening?
