Re: Hurricane Frances

Without the benefit of recon and due to the fact that daytime strengthening will probably have diminished, I would think it highly unlikely there will be any upgrade before tomorrow. It's already strengthened from a TD to a CAT III in 48 hours (give or take). However, if the Dvorak's come in high at the 2345Z, it's possible, but unlikely. Add to the fact that, while it is a CAT III, it's just barely a CAT III, so it would take a fairly good amount of strengthening to make the jump. Will be watching it tho...
