Actually it's going to decrease it's time over land. Since the sw Florida coast slants to the SE it will be back in the water a hour or two ahead of schedule.


I have to say you are right. She will hold on to her strength

I was thinking it slants more to the SSE, but reasonable minds can differ. :)

It has only been three hours since it made landfall, so it's not unusual to have a hurricane maintain its strength over land for this short period.

It's quite likely that at 11pm it will be maintained as a hurricane...

Well... crossing the swamps it's not, but that wasn't forecasted and it's coming across much faster. It also looks like it's getting better! organized over land...

SW is not good thing. That ridge looks pretty strong too. This will probably stay a HC. If it keeps the same motion for anothr 3 hrs the W side will be out over water. If it does go back to TS, it won't be for long.

Hang on GOMers

Yeah, but considering this thing barely made Hurricane status this is pretty amazing!

Agreed, Frances made landfall as a Cat2/3, falling to barely a cane seems reasonable. Katrina made landfall barely as a cane, and is still a cane almost 4 hours later, with excellent conditions waiting for her in 3 to 4 hours.

Katrina is moving over a "River of Grass. The Everglades is a large, shallow body of water with no discernable difference in elevation from the oceans surrounding it. And the water is Hot in August! No wonder she's not weakening much. And with the WSW trajectory she'll be back over open water soon. hmmm.

I live in boyton beach and managed to meander over to the beach today when a rather intense band came through. The rain and sand was stinging my face and I was something I won't forget then the police let us no that we were parked in a no parking zone. Here in boynton beach we didn't get the worst and I really feel bad for the people in dade county right now god be with them. I will not soon forget these last 11 months when we had 3 hurricanes hit our coast. Anyone else make it to the beach today?

What ramifications will Katrina's more southerly exit into the Gulf have. I looked at the 5pm forecast and it showed her exiting around Naples. It looks as though she will exit no further north than Everglades City. Will this make any difference. Also it has been mentioned that the trough is not digging down south as forecast, instead in a more zonal west to east flow. Any ideas?

For what its worth, folks...
...looking at the WV and the strenght of that high to Kat;s NW, IMO she may be going much further west than current projections.
Gonna be an interesring 48-72 hours!!!

I'm beginning to think that Kat will maintain hurricane intensity all the way across. She still looks good on IR and on radar. This is trully a fighter and will not die easily. :x

They need to issue hurricane warnings from Bonita Beach to East Cape Sable (maybe even Flamingo) at the 11pm advisory.
