Re: Hurricane Watches/Warnings

it appears that Philippe is stalled out at the moment, and the shear may have weakened it to a TS by now; Rita is probably going to become a hurricane within 12 hours (which is why my hurricane total for this year is 9--it will probably be a hurricane before i am on the computer again)

GFDL takes Rita down to 921mb and up to 155mph in the Keys and landfalls it at Marsh Island, LA on Saturday as a 120mph hurricane at 962mb
