Confirms what the radar observations show: a little south of west at about 5mph...also the northern eyewall is eroding...the lowlevel atmosphere north of the system is unusualy dry and the strom is unable to build any real convection north and northeast of the center...no rapid intensification probable in this scenario...I think it will drift west for another day before we see too much movement north, unless intensification rapidly occurs and I think that is out of the question now, for all the reason's HF stated a short while ago.

maybe,. maybe not 971 is quite a drop.... will take a little while for the winds to catch up but that's quite a surpising drop... wonder if its correct????

Re: Katrina Back Over the Water [Re: jth]
      #50065 - Fri Aug 26 2005 11:05 AM

Hi. My mind is just coming back to working order. Long Night in Miami.. amazing storm. Reading along here and wanted to add that I respect this storm tremendously and it's desire to go west and not pull north and really do believe that after looking at the water vapor loops and models that this storm will follow the western side of the forecast track. When a storm follows the pattern this storm has.. turning west around Miami vs going through the Keys on an angle it is more likely it keeps going west longer. Andrew and Betsy being examples and they both went to LA.. not the Panhandle.

Will see as the day unfolds but the one thing I do think will be a given is a little longer in the Gulf and it will turn into a Major Storm.

Guess this is the last Katrina we will see.

Any news on the family of five missing in the Gulf/Florida Bay who left Marathon early yesterday and haven't been heard from since?

What a difference a few miles can make. My dad lives in Boca Raton, and I have a sister that lives Coral Springs. My dad told me that it was more of a wind event for him, with only a few showers. My sister had a lot more rain and more intense rain, although nothing compared to locations further south.

So now we look to the panhandle (again) and then inland. It has been a wet summer here in metro atlanta, and Dennis did not help. I had seeded my lawn just in time for Dennis to wash most of it away. So I tried again, and now Katrina. Do you think somebody is trying to tell me something???

radar loop now showing a definite West motion during the past 30 minutes or so... see if it continues

Saw that also...that's a big drop in a short amount of time...she's certainly full of surprises.

It looks to me on Key West radar that the eyewall, while it may have eroded to the north after exiting ino the GOM, it starting to wrap around from the SE to the NE around the COC, closing inside of the previous ragged north edge of the eyewall. I don't think this would qualify as an eyewall replacement, but it looks like a tighter reformation of the previous signature eye which was much larger. I also noticed something on the visible sat this morning that made it look like this could be happening. Am I seeing this correctly?

Winds are up to 80kt as well. Note that the previous pressure of 981 was largely estimated by buoy data and continuity, so it may have been just a touch high. New advisory packing coming out shortly; the updated info is on the main page.

Have to say ... North Dade mostly had a wind event. Big trees down, branches.. medium size palm trees... what you would expect from a Cat 1. Power out (though I have thankfully, luckily got it back) and STREETLIGHTS mostly out ..some broken. South Dade had more of a water event. No flooding here. Very little water if any even in driveways that usually gather water after rainstorms. South Dade has water damage.. and wind.

Was a beautiful, long eye... calm wind. Strong weather was on second half.. violent weather but by then the storm was stronger.

Enjoying reading what you all posted last night.. Bobbi

Looks to me to be just north of due west, looking at the Key West radar. (This from the very scientific method of slowing the animation down and using my mouse pointer as reference.) Am I just seeing things?

Ron, the FLA tracking map doesn't show a path hugging the coast:

Is it somewhere else on the site?




Ed, the map on their website is the official NHC track. At 8 AM this morning, their on-air MET, Steve Jervie, showed their VIPIR model simulation of Katrina that hugged the coast. If I remember, their VIPIR model had the storm running up the FL east coast too a couple of days ago so take it with a grain of salt. Their Viper model last year did correctly predict Charleys abrupt turn to the right into Punta Gorda though.

a wobble perhaps, it wobbled back west... still looks west to me, but .... I'm not quite ready to use the "N" word just yet... however, eventually is going to happen... big question is when and where

IMO you are seeing things you may see a band going around but the center has no north movement in it all all at this time.But the south movement has ended like they forcasted it too early today.

Extreme slow mover through the Gulf at this time of year. God only knows how long it'll take to move N and how strong it'll be by the time it hits land...

--------------------
The safest way to deal with a potential Hurricane hitting you...is to leave and just not be there at all.

I've created a new Forecast Lounge topic for discussion about possibilities with Katrina's second landfal
You can find it here

I included a few comparison maps there with past storms as an example.

Looks W and steady again.The NOGAPS and ETA have gone further W on there last runs.I like to see if the GFDL does the same.The GFDL has her turning N at 82.2' I think it's going to be a little while longer.As Clark said today is the day that will determine where she is going
