Margie, to one of your earlier posts, I just heard that the windfield is larger than , any Mets/Profs/Mods able to confirm?

Dr. Steve Lyons just said on that is has slowed a little in forward speed. I'm also seeing what apprears to be a pretty definitive change to the WNW, which looks like more than just a wobble to me. Your concensus?

I'm seeing a tad slower motion I'd guess, but no more WNW than over the last several hours, which has been denied vehemently by experts and the recon fixes.
Edit: Looking at the visible loop on ... it's definately moving north of due west, the recon not withstanding. Also in the last visible image ... the shadow that the of is making on the GOM is incredible. I don't believe I've ever seen a stadium effect quite that deep. What are the cloud top heights on the eyewall on this monster?

will try to post this data sheet from Hurtrack for .
Hurricane observation worksheet
Didn't work, basically, 64 KT winds extend out 105 miles (NE to SW) on .
For , 64 KT winds extended out 144 miles (in basically same position at 08:00 HR on 8-28-05)

The last supplemental vortex report suggested that hurricane-force winds extend out about 80 miles to the NW of the center (if my math is correct), which is approaching the maximum radius of hurricane-force winds noted in . It was expected that would grow in size, though it is unclear at this point whether it will grow to be as large as or not.

I stand by my intensity projections: near 180 by 11pm ET, if not at 8pm... approaching 190 by morning if the trend continues (God forbid).

WOW:
Accuweather is now reporting winds sustained at 185MPH right now.
Unbelievable!!!
Uh... where did you see that? I just went to Accuweather.com and the graphic still says 165.
Not that I wouldn't believe 185 right now (I would have guessed 180), but I don't see the report.
Update: This is what the site says for me now:
As of 5:00 PM EDT Wednesday, is packing sustained winds of 165
mph with guststo 185 mph;
Totally off-topic... but Fox News Channel and MSNBC have live coverage of an Airbus A320 trying to attempt to crash land in Los Angeles after dumping its fuel into the Pacific. What a world this is.

On FOX news at a briefing. Jim Kosen from Accuweather reported that a sub 900MB is expected and Accuweather is reporting 185 regardless what the is reporting. We will see it on the next update @8PM.

Hugh,
The 185 mph wind could be from the 2149Z vortex report. The Max Flight Level wind was 161 knots = 185 mph.

I've been watching this thing for the last couple of days, and last night before the 10:00 update came out my analysis pinpointed 90.04 west as my "best guess" for where she will hit, which is the far western edge of Galveston, with an almost-due-north motion at that time.
This was based on what I expect to see happen with the ridge, which should move northeast, and the location of the weakness into which will turn. My view on verification is that the crossing point for 25N should occur at 90W - if it happens before, then she may come in somewhat east, if after, somewhat west.
This assumes no major earth-shattering changes in the steering flow - I see no reason to expect there will be any - the upper level pattern appears pretty well behaved.
I know this is significantly east of the consensus, but there is some model support for this - the has it pegged a bit east of there. The other models have tended to cluster west, but not very far.
Were I in Galveston or anywhere low in Houston or subject to surge I would be out of there right now, with my entire wardrobe and anything I wanted to keep in my car/truck with me - not just a couple of days worth of clothes and a few hundred bucks.
At the same time I would not let me guard down all the way to Corpus, and perhaps beyond. This thing is a monster, both in terms of windspeed AND size.
Katrina produced significant surge effects here near Destin and we were ~200+ miles from where it went in! This storm has the potential to be even worse - and certain on par with her in terms of destructive power at landfall.
The last few fixes tend to support a somewhat north-of-west motion, but the wobbling still puts her "up the middle" of hte 's forecast track. We shall see if the last few fixes are a trend - or just another wobble....
Be careful folks.....

I just got an update through e-mail that has the windfield at 150NM so maybe someone could verify that?

Pretty sure they were referring to max flight level winds, which means more like 165MPH at the surface. I don't see any new recon reports to suggest it.

Well we know one thing.....the winds are higher than 165. My guess 180-185

Simple calculation for relative area of wind field.
A= Pi r^2.
Therefore: a circular storm of radius 50 miles has 1/4 the area as a storm of 100 mile radius. And so on... for only comparing relative areas one need not even know the value of Pi. Pi= 22/7 = 3.1416
Cheers!

This may be a stupid question, but when do we expect to get some new numbers from reconnaissance?

Has anyone noticed in the last few frames of the Infrared and IR that it appears the eye is shrinking. A possible beginning to occur?
