Derek will this thing fall apart in Northern Gulf??

Derek, I am truly asking if Katrina could fall apart as it approaches the northern gulf. I know you write a lot about the heat content in the gulf and how the Northern Gulf tends to snuff out powerful hurricanes. Do you see this happening with this storm.

it wont fall apart regardless


it may weaken one category in the final 3 hours before landfall, but we'd then be talking a cat 3 storm, which as we saw with Dennis and Ivan is very destructive

if it hits Louisiana, it may come in at peak intensity thanks to the warm eddy just offshore, which has the HIGHEST heat content in the entire basin

if it goes to MS, it will still weaken some

Derek - Do you think she could make that North turn and skate up the East coast of Florida?

LOL Zack. Some of those dynamical models look like they're calling for a Lafourch-Terrebonne Parish hit. I'd throw out the A98 with the 40.2N/91.5W solution Heh.
