Re: Hurricane Katrina Landfalls near the Dade/Broward County Line

Amazing about the GFDL. I do see a soutward vector on this storm now.



Yup you can see it very well comparing the sat images on the beg and end of the loop. IMHO the center is not the open area...the center is just due W of Miami right now and is clouded over.

Edit: Eye just cleared a bit at 00:12Z, now a little easier to see. The radar is a little bit behind...wind in Miami already coming out of the SE, not the SW (as would be the case if the eye moved directly W after landfall).

Looks like dir since landfall has continued SW 225-230 deg. At this rate if she doesn't bear more W soon she'll move right over the everglades and exit NW of the keys at the entrance to Big Lostmans Bay.
