No, Not good news. The storm may be entering a cycle to form a new eyewall. During this time, the maximun winds may drop a bit, but the area affected by the maximum winds will increase.

Not being a WX expert, but I wonder if what you're seeing is area that is difficult for the land-based radars to see. In any event, the 1:00AM NOAA weather statement still shows sustained winds at 160 and the pressure at 908.

I think the perceived decay in the radar is just based on the fact that the radar is land-based...can't get a good fix on the southern (seaward) side of the storm...
Haven't seen any decay on the satellite images...
Anyone know when the satellites go on the daily communications blackout?

Thanks for the update, janetjanet998. I'm going to sign off now and crawl into bed and watch the Live news reports. It's only 9:12 p.m. here in Alaska, so it must be 1:12 a.m. in NO. Prayers for all, chena :)
