Temperature of Cloud Tops
Sun Aug 22 2004 02:23 PM

I have read on the Hurricane Hunter's site that Supertyphoon Rita had the highest temp. at (somewhere in the mid 80's) at a very high altitude. What I found interesting was that I knew cloud tops temps were suppose to decrease with altitude and the warming of cloud tops was a sign of weakening but this was a supertyphoon, so was this a freak thing or does it usually happen with very strong storms? So if anyone could anwser this question, it would be great.
