Isabel currently has a very impressive outflow pattern and...
unfortunately...the global models are forecasting it to become even
better. By 36-48 hours... all of the global models except the UKMET
are forecasting more than 50 kt of outflow on the west side of
Isabel being drawn into an upper-level low located just northeast
of the Leeward Islands. A pattern like that can oftentimes lead to
rapid or explosive deepening. The SHIPS intensity model brings
Isabel up to 97 kt in 60 hours...but the official forecast is a
little higher since ships was low/slow with the intensification of
Fabian.

Impressive indeed.
