Predicting Cat 5 Paths

#1 Postby acidus » Sun Aug 28, 2005 11:23 am

I thought I read that Cat 5 systems create their own weather systems. Wouldn't that make predicting the path for Katrina more difficult than say a Cat 1?

NHC is getting a better grip on where it is going. When the cone shrinks or stays the same, that means the certainty is becoming more clear on what the path will be.
