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

Quote:

Im glad we have not seen any sign of this coming into a strong cat 4 storm or a 5 like many thought it would be already.

Many were thinking as soon as it hit the GOM it would be a 3 but thank you for the dry air.



What are you talking about? This is probably going to be a very dangerous situation in the following days. The official forecast has a solid category four making landfall along the gulf coast. The cyclone remained consolidated throughout it’s duration over the peninsula, and there is really no reason for it not to deepen. Which it is. As was pointed out earlier... it is infact overshooting most of the sound early intensity estimates.





are you reading what the NHC is putting out as at landfall? 115 that is not a strong 4 nor a solid 4 or even a 4 that is what is coming out at 11pm
