Exactly. It will make it into the GOM but I don't expect it to explode like many think...it will weaken across FL considerably with a slow WNW movement.



that's what we hope happens... weakening over Florida...
but it's looking more and more like it might miss Fl...
that's what i was saying...

It seems RECON will find Katrina. It looks to be organizing at a good pace.

a deep concentrated blob of convection with very cold cloud tops has just recently blown up near the center within the last hour...god I hope this thing doesn't decide to start bombing tonight as I am afraid of.

That is an impressive looking blob! I'll bet the slow movement is driving the NHC nuts! Who knows what this will look like in 48 hrs

Kristina is looking really good this morning, Boca_Chris -- aren't you glad we stuck to our hunches about this system :) As I recall, just a few of us believed this system would develop into a viable TS or Cane more than a week ago.

You folks stay very alert down there on the SE coast. Katrina may be a fast growing girl.
