I have to admit, she's looking pretty good on the IR right now......and really hasn't moved a whole lot. It looks like it's moving but then when I really examine it, the center appears to be held back.

it might look like Katrina is moving west when your looking at the western edge of the convection... however just looking at the eastern end of the convection it looks as if shes moving east... all that's happening is the convection is growing...

Looks like a hurricane to me. Must be one of the most healthy looking tropical storms for some time.

No, thats an area of even deeper convection than the surrounding reds.

I think it is expanding into a strengthening pulse. It is too close to land to fully undergo the next phase...
