As a matter a fact, look at Texas, then look far above Ike.
There's moisture all over the place that Ike could use to fuel from.
Just by picking up the moisture on it's was, and as other moisture
heads for it...

Aw common Fievel. I expected better from you. Where in is the fun of
disscusing the weather with out a few personal words? Tell us what
you learned from the resources you used and then at the end of your
post, make reference to the source.

Nice link though.
Cheerz!

I only really glanced at it..
didn't read it, because I know a hurrican is
like a giant engine.
As long as it's over warm waters, it's got the fuel
a hurricane needs to keep running.
They need the condensing water off the sea to
grow, and to keep going.
The waters are getting so warm though, that
their not loosing their eye quite as fast over land.
Hence, the sudden mist spots that seem to appear
with nothing much on radar for rain.
Something I mentioned in another thread I started.
Notice the water Temps. are in the 80s here.
It only goes down as far as the upper 60s to 70s in the
New Engling states. You have to go as far as Main for 50s.
And that's warm, considering it's Main.
Water is condensing much faster, causing storms to keep their
eyes over land.
Probably, we'll hit a time, they won't loos much enegy when coming
across land.
I'm taking a look now..

if you look at this soon enough, http://www.weather.gov/radar_tab.php
you'll notice mist spots around Florida. Large areas of moisture with no
rain.
This is what I'm talking about, there starting to feed the hurricanes, so
they don't
weaken like they use to.


That any better?

Fievel.

Lets talk about the weather.

Here is the question. Why does a relatively cloud free area known as
the "Eye" form in a Hurricane, Typhoon, or Cyclone? (Tropical systems
please and keep it earthquake free)
