Re: The NHC forecast is only good for 3 day, after 72 hrs a sharp short wave will pick IKE up

IKE's core lost some structure while over the island and that will expand the wind field. IKE is off shore now about 21.2 and 78.9 No more land until he crosses western Cuba. The microwave loop on the main page took IKE from 110kts to 80kts while traversing the island. Land interaction will keep too much re-intensification from occurring. Nothing ahead of it yet to cause a more northerly slide in the track. Not slowing down so there is still a good stream of air pushing him along.
