The NHC suggests that in their 5 pm discussion as well .... which I am guessing is part of why intensity has not been lowered too significantly....

While checking out Intellicast's IR java loop for Emily, it looks as though she might be intensifying - the central part of the storm, nearest to the eyewall, is rapidly deepening in color (usually signifying intensification, right?).

Can anyone provide feedback on this, pls?

Just came to post the link.


Eye in range from now on.


I think the ULL is brickwalling it - but who knows?

It does kinda look like that, doesn't it?

I'm surprised that the NHC didn't even mention that feature in its discussion .... I guess they must be sure its gonna scoot outta the way pretty quickly....

Emily is moving pretty fast looks like she will be over the Yucatan mainland in 10 hours.
It would be great if she would make landfall disorganized with lower winds.
Storms with a small eye and a tight structure seem to hold their intensity better over land.
If that small eye builds back before landfall watch out.
She should be back over the water by tomorrow afternoon so all we can do is wait.

More than likely the web page is overloaded. ;-) this group can do a pretty good job of that all by themselves :-)

I have tried several different times, got it to come up once. Just be patient, it will work one time for you. Agee-site probably overloaded.

The radar will time out if using Firefox, but it will load up slowly in IE. (Not that I use IE much now)

If you are pissed by those freakishly slow Mexican servers :D , try this site:

http://www.stormtrack.org/special/

Go to the very top, Cancun radar mirror, click on Base reflectivity to get the most current image (in about a hundred times faster than the Mexican site), click on Animation to get an animation of the past few images.

Hope this helps! :wink:

Please use mirror so the real site stays up through this, I made a fancy one auto updating one with several hours worth of animation now here.
