Re: intensification The Keys

I was thinking the same thing about the dry air. It is pretty clearly almost a stalemate now between the dry air being pulled in from the north and the deep moisture feed from the south. There has been some northerly mid to upper level flow over the storm since just before it hit Florida and so far it shows no sign of abating. The models show Katrina moving under the center of the upper level high in the next one to two days so that should allow further strengthening.
