Eye Better Defined...

#1 Postby MWatkins » Wed Sep 10, 2003 1:16 pm

No wobbles...no big moves...the cloud pattern is improving and the eye has become better defined.

Isabel is getting stronger and still moving due west.

Clearly Intensifying

Check out the red ring and the fact that the eye is better defined and further embedded in the deep convection.

In the last 2 frames the eye becomes much much more clear and defined- I don't think we've heard this fat lady really sing yet......

WICKEDLY BEAUTIFUL..both Isabel and Maemi

That's an understatement. It could be something of note though for the bahamas Sunday into Monday and the southeastern United States Monday night through Wednesday.

Much better defined hurricane though, perhaps a period of further strengthening than what we're looking at now.

The advisory at 5 PM should tell the truth. But with the T numbers close to 6.5, I wouldn't doubt this reaches perhaps 140 mph by 5 PM today or at least maintains itself. Very healthy outflow and an intense beautiful eye!

Maemi in the west pac has an estimated central pressure of 885 mb. Maximum sustained winds are 175 mph with gusts to 205 mph.
