Quote: Clark mentions in his blog last night that Rita was undergoing an ERC. This could be what is "slowing her down" so to speak. That would also account for a ragged IR appearance. So it will be interesting to see what happens later on, I think there is a chance she might deepen once again.
I thought about that (shudder).... but the inner core appears to have remained intact so far. The eye is still as perfect as ever. If it's an ERC... with absolutely no decrease in wind speed (at least at 5am ET, the winds were still reported as 175)... when it's done, what will the winds be? 185? 200? 225? :?:
