Re: 18z GFS and NAM....

You are absolutely right. This is a regular occurance of gulf coast hurricanes. They tend to sitr up the water. As they approach the coast line the waters tend to become cooler. Also there was dry air coming from the south west of the circulation. I have seen this before. The dry air from the south west causes the eye wall to weken and possibly elongate.
