Take a look now... http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT/float-vis-loop.html... MY guess is that when that plane gets in there, we will find that Rita is a Cat 5 with 160 MPH winds....

I'm not a meteorologist, just someone who has a hurricane hobby, but I still don't think she looks like an annular hurricane. The annular hurricanes that I have looked at look more like buzzsaw blades. Give her a couple more hours and perhaps her outflow bands will balance out to give us a better look. One thing that is sort of creepy is that I haven't heard of an eyewall replacement cycle for a while. That certainly isn't a good sign (as annular hurricanes don't need to replace their eyewalls).

it's also good because it doesn't expand its windfield. It'd be more like Andrew or Camille than Katrina.

The reason I think we will find out she is that high is that look at the outflow from the equator side of the storm...

its getting stronger.
