on a TWC 4:05 pm EDT update that Katrina had dropped pressure one millibar (presumambly now to 1002) even though the satellite signature is still not looking that great. He also said that it is no longer moving nnw but has begun to take that westerly motion as is now moving wnw.

organizing systems do this all the time, we have all seen it before, there is no reason at this time to believe it is weakening or will weaken. with that said, i predict an open wave, lol.

Hate to say it, but it disagree, as NHC and recon know that there is definitely a circulation; hence, we have a cyclone, not a wave.

:Dr. Lyons is right. The storm is flattening at the top on satellite indicating high pressure building.

Deltadog03,

Such an idea has historical precedent. Hurricane #4 (1947) tracked somewhat south of west as it moved across southern Florida. Hurricane Andrew (1992) tracked ever so slightly south of west as it headed toward its rendezvous with southeastern Florida.

And both of those made second landfalls in Louisiana. However, none of the models show it going that far west in the gulf. Some don't even take it in the gulf at all, just up the penisula.

Deltadog03,

I believe it will generally head west to west-northwest once the high builds in and a short period of somewhat south of west motion is a genuine possibility.

Radar isn't accurate but it does look west. Guess recon and the update will tell the tale.
