Re: Tropical Depression 13 Forms in the Gulf of Mexico

Latest satellite suggests that NHC may have been premature in returning Katia to hurricane status. Is it really an eye or is it simply an exposed center - there is quite a difference? Convection is now displaced to the west and northwest and the center is not under any CDO feature, with considerable weakness to the southeast. Probably still a strong TS.
