Yes but water vapor fuels hurricanes. gonna fuel this bad mama back into a cat 4.
Same exact water vapor increase occurred just before she first hit Cuba. She ramped back up to a 5 from a 4 and then dove down into Cuba. Cuba eventually weakened her to a 3. Now the same water vapor increase occurred. She will go cat 4 and make a jog in some direction.
Pressure has dropped a tad to 938mb. Looks to me that Irma will be leaving the coast of Cuba later today. Then we shall see what happens.
