FELICIA Now at CAT 4 ... Morphological Considerations
      Thu Aug 06 2009 02:13 AM

Just a quick update ... Felicia just continues to strengthen, and is now at Cat 4 intensity at 120 Kts. or Sustained winds of 140 mph !!

And the structure of the hurricane has undergone MAJOR changes today, as well ...

Compare the *ABOVE* Microwave image of what is primarily inner-core convection, taken at 5AM Hawaii time, with this one ...



.. which was taken around Noon, Hawaii time and you'll notice a large difference in the amount and extent of the deep convection, as shown by the red reflectivities, which is now associated with Felicia's ever-expanding circulation.

Next advisory from NHC will be out in about an hour ... should be interesting what their discussion will reveal.

More coming soon ...
