Re: Will Ivan Get Back To CAT V Status?

Of particular interest to me is the fact that the models now have a NE turn at the end of the tracks (after the storm comes onshore). Earlier they were mainly showing a due north component. If the NE turn is verified (does happen) timing will once again become critical in regard to the FL peninsula. Should Ivan dally around for a day like Frances did, and the NE turn becomes a reality, we could be back under the gun.

Of course, the conditions required to turn the storm NE may only exist further north, so this may not verify, but its something to watch.
