Re: 18z GFS and NAM....

I assume that report was for an elliptical eyewall, which is 20 miles wide on the minor axis and 30 miles wide on the major axis. That might account for some erratic motion.

Latest pressure falls as of 7 CDT: Lake Charles 2.8 mb, Beaumont 2.1 mb, Galveston 0.9 mb.

Rita looks pretty ill on the last IR image at 2345Z. The eyewall seems to be making a slight comback on radar, though.
