Re: Fay reorganizing...

I do not see Fay tightening up anymore and should not strengthen much if anymore at all. It looks alot like Hurricane Ophelia in 2005. Ophelia never became more than a 70 knot hurricane mostly due to slow movement, meandering around, causing upwelling of cooler waters and eye wall disruption due to dry air entrainment. Ophelia's inner core also faded and was replaced with a large eye like feature, these rarely are able to regain there strength. I have attatched a radar image of Ophelia and the two look very similar.
