Look how well established that outflow channel is!

Recon reports a very tight wind field. 100mph and still only 15 miles radius of hurriane force winds. This hurricane has a very steep pressure gradient near the center. Recon reports a 8NM wide eye, small and intense, just like I said....MGC

The inner core has become very tight, but the system as a whole is still rather loose. The possibility remains that it will keep this tight core and begin to further expand like Katrina.

Conversely, it could remain an camille/andrew/charley like storm.
Small but very intense.

Actually, I wouldn't compare this to Camille, Andrew, or Charley... they were much smaller.

Katrina's wind field expanded the day after moving off shore and the pressure didn't drop very fast. Then, Saturday night the bottom fell out. Four of Wilma's eyes could fit into Katrina. Wilma has a steep pressure gradient in the inner core. This hurricane reminds me of Charley or Iris in 2001. Iris was small, 125kts 948mb.....MGC

What I mean with the comparison is a relatively small area of intense
winds.

Okay, in that case... I'll go along with that. :)

so senorpeper - you are saying the winds field could increase - hurricane force that is?
