Looks like Katrina is running out of time...
Just off the coast now and with recon only
getting 59kt winds... and the large open
area in the NW quad showing up on radar...
It does still have the warm GS waters running under her... but
Land will start to eat away more and more at the NE quad
over the next few hours... I'm saying strong storm much like
Arlene...
Less Likely

IMO it is a hurricane at this time.....and will deepen right up to the Broward and Palm Beach county beachfronts......
I fully expect gusts in excess of 100 mph at time of landfall......and won't be surprised if 100 mph sustained is attained.

nope... still a tropical storm... I don't think she's gonna make it
to Hurricane untill she gets in the GOM...
She still has about 6 to 8 hours to get inland... storms can strengthen until their center is inland. Based on recon, it's a hurricane now.

Looks like she is forming a new eye and the old one is fading away. Might be pulling something like Charley 
, though not nearly as strong.
