Convention. On IR cloud plots, the scale is reversed.
Why aren't the colors on the infared scan opposite of what they show? Shouldn't the top of the storm near the eye be colder, not warmer?

Never said it was "over"...just "ending". There's a difference...
Yeah, I saw the Dvorak images...interesting view...I would think that with the pressure stabilizing and the outflow region getting back into shape, that the replacement cycle is at least proceeding to its end...
I think you are probably right on that front.
You aren't kidding about load times...
The NOAA site lets you zoom in too...and I can stop/rock the loop as well. Main thing I have to watch for is making sure I have the most current images (clear cookies)...
This guy deserves to be an avatar.
Hey, whar ya'll watchin duh herreeekain at?
When will they issue revised track predictions? That bas ain't even going to make it to the Texas Coast at the rate it's going...
The next major update from NHC is 4 PM CDT. The NAM model is running now, and the GFS model will start up in about an hour and a half.
I should have.Tell him his flight has been rerouted to Houston due to weather conditions.
Actually I said..."well since the hurricane is hitting Texas and NOT Arizona, he should be safe...its two states away, you know."
NAM current through 12 hours...and it still has a westward kick...
Will Galvestion look like this Sunday morning?

If Galveston still gets head on, the entire island will be underwater from the stormsurge. It might look like that later when the water recedes, Boutons.
If Galveston gets hit, it will look like this.

I don't know Sami, they are predicting a pretty huge storm surge.
I found the "50 foot storm surge" quote in another article. It was the city Of Galveston City Manager...
what a goober.Galveston was a virtual ghost town by late Wednesday. The coastal city of 58,000 _ situated on an island 8 feet above sea level _ was nearly wiped off the map in 1900 when an unnamed hurricane killed between 6,000 and 12,000 in what is still the nation's deadliest natural disaster.
LeBlanc, the city manager, said the storm surge from Rita could reach 50 feet. Galveston is protected by a nearly 11-mile-long granite seawall 17 feet tall.
"Not a good picture for us," LeBlanc said.
The truth is bad enough...
I guess he was talking about the thirty foot waves on top of the storm surge...that would add up to 50 but is technically not the surge...
It looks like she's starting to blow up again...Link
My sis left Houston at 8 pm yesterday and was still in Houston 4 1/2 hours later. She ended up staying at a hotel and she's been trying to get here since she woke up.. I think she's just getting out of Houston now.
The traffic is crazy.
Daytime heating....
Well supposedly she completed her ewrc so a little strengthening is possible. But maybe you're right...there should be another recon out in a little bit.
No... I am right...we have not even hit peak temp for the day...
No... I am right...
It will Be cat 5 again tonight.. and hit land as a 4..
Hannity had Joe Bas i from AccuWeather on at the top of the hour...
He laid down his prediction...

Up 45 to Dallas
Left hook down 35 to SA and Laredo
I have my wetsuit, goggles and fins on the ready...
