there is evidence of SW wind shear now over Rita..may weaken it..notice how the SW side of the storm is getting squashed back towards the eye and the NE part of it fanning out NE..thats wind shear from the south west..

Can the cause of the wind shear affect the direction of the storm?

good news houston...looks like model data and people i have been talking too..the NHC will shift their forecast right of you..you will be on the weaker side if that pans out
looks like they will call for a landfall between houston and port arthur now
on the other hand thats worse for New orleans, they will get more surge and rain...but again shearr seems to be haven an affect now

I noted that shear as well. WHere is it coming from. I didn't see any potential for shear yesterday.

Are you seeing the decrease in shear evidence in the SW quadrant? I'm also seeing better wrap around convection near the eye.

Thoughts?
