re: Hurricane Nate - Moving Inland - Hurricane Season Over?

Yes, it can vary based on different factors but for the most part you assume 980 mb on a model runs is around a Cat 2. However, the models are horrible at intensity projections. That's why I stand by my commend that this would be weak as it approached the coast. The front coming down that will hook this east will cause it to ingest tons of dry air as it nears the coast and models rarely do well at taking that into account, I find. They will eventually see it but not for a while.
