Is it just me or is this thing SHRINKING??? Looking at the water vaper and IR loops it definately looks like a tighter circulation at the end of the loop than at the beginning. Very very BAD!!! Small storms = strong storms!!!




Not entirely true. However, shrinking storms = strong storms.

You can have a large strong storm, but it takes more time to develop.

And yes, Katrina shrinking is not good news. I'm seeing that too. The central circulation is tightening up around the eye, which is becoming better and better defined on IR.
