Re: Question concerning the time it takes to process FSU model

im going to go out on a limb here and say landfall of Cindy at 75 mph. It is reminding me alot of Arlene last month, with one key difference--less shear overall and less dry air

Also, the convection is still firing pretty well and it has been intensifying all day

Dennis i expect will slowly intensify, and reach hurricane status sometime on Thursday, then begin to rapidly intensify prior to landfall in Cuba
the rotation is currently very well defined and it appears to be consolidating the convection

another reason that i think Cindy will reach hurricane intensity before landfall-- possible northern eyewall forming
