Re: Ike jogging back to the NW?

The center of Ike is about to pass over the mountainous area of eastern Cuba. The amount that it gets disrupted will be crucial to its eventual intensity. Conditions over the Gulf look like they will be very favorable for intensification in the next 36-48 hours, but maybe less so after that. If Ike takes a long time to recover from Cuba, it may miss its window of opportunity for significant intensification.
