Re: Katrina's Forecast Track Shifts West, Northern Gulf Needs to Watch

[quote
The band is classic of a hurricane even going up ther NW side so i really don't think that has anything to do with a loop since if you look at past storms they have the same type of bands that stray away from the center.
What is a blessing is its still 100 mph and has not blown up like many thought.



Regarding the banding, true, but I don't remember seeing it quite like this before, but that may be just my memory.

Regarding the blessing - based upon the trend with IR and WV imagery, I would not be surprised in the intensity were increased to 105-110 MPH in the 10pm CT package.
