Could the current posture indicate that it’s petering out?

Nah, it is just playing the game. You have to pay attention to the convection firing into the evening and see if it can actually wrap it around the center.

People have jumped the gun twice today (by declaring that it was clearing out an eye) with it trying to wrap up but ultimately failing. It has to overcome that shear, wrap convection around that center, and sustain in order to really take off. So far it has just cycled through convective bursts that get cut down when they wrap around the downshear part of the storm.

Is it wobbling or jogging eastward the last hour or is that my old eyes?

Eye of Hurricane Isaias now forming -- rapidly. Dangerous next 24 hours ahead as the hurricane sits over the deep and warm "Loop Currrent" and the same area that powered history's most intense storms.

We can only hope for wind shear to retard the intensification.


Im gonna get this guy cancelled

SWA once flew me from MSY to Orlando right over the top of a hurricane that was in the Gulf. Got some great view of cloud tops that were at cruise altitude.

You’ll be good.

Are storm chasers going to live-stream the landfall?

If so, can we get links to these live-streams posted?

If I'm understanding this right, the conditions are almost right enough for it to intensify but every time it tries to it ends up failing. So it has not really intensified yet? Hopefully it continues to not intensify?
