Re: Category 5 Katrina Winds to 175MPH
|
Latest recon fix doesn't report any increase in the max. flight level winds or decrease in pressure -- still 907mb. The height of the 700mb surface came down another 5m, however, to 2289m and they reported that the surface and flight-level centers appear to be slightly displaced. Not sure if this is a sign of a mesovortex they may be tracking or something else entirely, nor if it is significant, but an eyewall cycle does not appear to be on the immediate horizon.
More later.
