Re: Ike Landfall: Galveston

The system that was Ike is expected to strengthen again - but as an extratropical system, i.e., no longer tropical in nature. From the last NHC Discussion bulletin issued this morning:

"IKE WILL LOSE TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS DURING THE NEXT 24
HOURS AS IT MERGES WITH THE FRONT. SOME RE-INTENSIFICATION IS
EXPECTED AFTER EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION IS COMPLETE"

Cheers,
ED
