May not quite make it under 900 again. And conditions become less than ideal in about 12 hours

What happened to the Doppler looking gif of the storm in the gulf in the OP?

How much ice do you estimate it would take?

---

40-50 pounds of ice per 100 gallons of water

One square mile of ocean 1 inch deep is 6,300,000 gallons of water

So ~ 3,000,000 pounds of ice per square mile an inch deep

Times that by 100 square miles and 50 feet deep.

So 3,000,000 x 12 x 50 x 100. Whatever that is

It should weaken some as the eye wall replacement cycle happens (if one is truly happening). If Milton doesn’t fully recover from that before the wind shear increases, then it probably won’t bottom out again like it did today and yesterday. That said, it’s going to remain a powerful, major hurricane and the wind field will get larger even as it weakens.

It does look like EWRC may have begun
