Re: Hurricane Rita Tracking West Northwest in the Gulf

Yeah, I'm seeing that with the IR, but it also looks like she's growing in size and that's part of why she's looking ragged. She also looks to have ingested a small amount of dry air which is working its way in.
I think she's going to weaken only becuase her wind field is spreading. She should stay a Cat 4 or strong Cat 3 until landfall. I don't think she'll regain Cat 5 anymore.
