Hey everyone, not willing to even try to project where this sucker is going to go. But it does look like the stairstepping has begun again. Also, earlier today the storm looked slightly 'scrunched' on the right and to the south. Now it seems outflow has resumed and the storms seems to be regaining a more symmetrical look. The dry air that had crept into the circulation also seems to be fairly well absorbed at this time, so I would presume the storm has reached it's weakest point for a while.

Question: Were the forecasters expecting an increase in the forward speed?

Thanks
Mark
(I really should register at some point, that way I can get nifty icon thingies next to me)

if you do and the reference for your handle is diablo, try to avoid the creatures that usually cast it. -HF
