Re: Forecast Points

It seems to me, that Ike sucks in some drier air, which is to the west of the storm. The outflow to the west seems also a bit restricted. The storm is a bit asymetrical with a weaker west side and a stronger east side,
This could prevent phases of rapid weakening.
edit: As I look on the last microwave passes, the poorly defined eye and the entrainment of drier air I even think: Ike will struggle the next hours and he won´t intensify further for a certain time.
