SAT...huge blowup around both the "big wide eye" and the smaller one....who knows what this will look like by morning
I see the inreased convection. She's still be moving due west too.
It has not strenghtened much if any, but it is growing so big that any dry air intrusion may not weaken it much at this point. This is not a tiny system.
On the other hand, it means it takes longer to get organized, but it has plenty of time to grow stronger, and since its cycle would be slower than a tight, small storm, I am concerned this thing may be on the strengthening phase as it comes in or just entering an ERC....
If she makes landfall SE Louisiana Monday morning--that's high tide. Grand Isle and Terrebonne Bay high tides are 7:20AM, and 8:28AM respectively.
