Re: Karl Back Over Water, Igor Maintains Cat 4

I believe that to be cause by radar attenuation. The heavy rain between the radar and the eye is blocking some or nearly all of the return signal in that area.

Latest Dvorak image actually shows a higher area of clouds above the highest radar returns.... makes sense to a degree. Higher clouds give more rain.
