3C Core
Posted by JAC on 9/17/2010, 7:11 am
Outflow not that good on NW quad over Mexico, otherwise very-good poleward and equatorward

Currently, cloud tops about 50 to 55K-ft on the eye-wall with moderate rain-rate.

Had a massive eyewall hot-tower fire at 6:00Z and lasted about 3.5 hours.

Core should heat up another 1 or 2C from it and wind field will most likely continue to ramp up until landfall.

IMHO, strong Cat 3 likely, maybe Cat 4.

Veracruz will get hammered.
