Re: so what caused Felix to weaken?

From what I understand and have seen watching storms is that it is hard for a hurricane to sustain itself once it reaches the strength that Felix did last night. Felix was also going over very warm water which helped in its intensification. This morning he sucked some dry air into the core which caused weakening. However it looks like Felix is starting to clear out the eye and the system is definitely growing in size.
