Quote: Pressure up 4mb though..... that's good news....
The new National Hurricane Center discussion says: "RECENT MICROWAVE PASSES SHOW THAT AN OUTER EYEWALL IS IN THE FORMATIVE STAGES" (Caps in original).
Could that account for the rise in mb--after which it could drop again?
It is good that it's gone up, but it's still in a rarified range.
I'll also quote this quote of note from the NHC discussion: "KATRINA IS STILL EXPECTED TO BE OF AT LEAST CATEGORY FOUR INTENSITY WHEN IT REACHES THE COAST" (Caps in original, bold added).
