Is it still weakening? How can that be...looks better than it has all day!

Finishing up the eyewall replacement cycle. 125 knots in the NE quad is the highest I've seen in hours.

Ah, I heard she completed it earlier today...that was obviously premature.

125 knots in the NE quad is the highest I've seen in hours.

The NOAA recon about 1 hr ago had 133KT in the NE quad, then AF came in with 125.

She has definately stabilized strengthwise. Pressure has basically not changed since the ERC maximized (Went up to 915, then back down to 913). Winds have started to come back slightly as you have pointed out.

I think by later tonight/tomrrow morning she will be back up to 160-170, and her pressure will be down below 910. Very little chance (never say none) she will get back down to sub 900.

Thankfully, she will most likely weaken some as she approaches the coast, but everything points to her being as strong as Katrina at landfall IMO.

My personal opinion is Cameron Parrish, LA -- trending toward Lake Charles -- and 140 at landfall.
