jj,
How far out of the eye wall are hurricane force winds?
If it jogs south of Houston, what Category force winds will they be getting?
Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 45 miles from the center...and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 140 miles. The wind field associated with Rita is forecast to expand during the next day or two.
right now 45 miles..but that is forecast to grow to 70..keep in mind its just a forecast..
