Re: intensity forecasts for Ike will be a crap shoot

Great discussion. Went back and looked at the interaction between the storms or more so Hanna's wetting up the atmosphere. As said by the NHC she is big.. huge in size though not in strength. Much like an early wave by Africa moistens up the environment so is Hanna. Will that weaken the high... not sure how that works. High is strongly in place.

Hanna is really pulling it together, again her convective mass if not her wind speed.

The story will have new chapters soon, soon...

Being played out on real time here before our eyes!
