Re: Dean Reaches Category 4 Strength

Just a couple questions about hurricanes and warm eddy's that would be greatly appreciated to be answered.

Does the actual eye/eyewall of the hurricane need to pass OVER the eddy to intensify the hurricane?

Because in Dean's scenario, according to latest track, the centre would pass just north of the eddy.. another question--can eddy's move/intensify/weaken in 24-48 hours?

Thanks!
