Re: Katrina/Ophelia

This system is no Katrina which had a very persistent and vigorous vortex all the way across under hostile conditions (TD 10/dissapated; TD 12/Katrina). This one is very much an infant by that comparison.
BUT the radar presentation shows an improving structure all the time...the center is now ringed with convection and shower activity is increasing on the east and southeast side. It seems to want to tap into the GOM side with a feeder band across Florida. In General this is a strengthening system...
