Re: Hurricane Rita Tracking West Northwest in the Gulf

The geography of the area will cause Rita to make landfall as a Category 3 considering her current angle. Wind moving across land is slower than over water. The air over land is also drier which will cause Rita to beginning pulling in drier air . When over water, the water droplets picked up from ocean "lubricate" the wind allowing it to move much faster.
