No, I am not an "official" weather person (meteorologist), but I have been fascinated with and studied weather as long as I can rememebr. I have trained with our local National Weather Service as an official storm spotter however. By looking at that satellite image, it looked as if there was some dry air being drawn into the circulation (the dark area at the left of the storm) and the storm was not quite symmetrical, but that had changed over night. This is such a powerful storm, that it will take quite a bit of shear or dry air coming into the storm to weaken it and this is not going to happen. There are many factors that forecasters use to predict what a hurricane will do. I could explain it, but I don't want to bore anyone, unless they are really interested in it like I amOriginally Posted by MyBabies
How can you tell all this? Are you a weather person? I ask as where I live it was predicted to be 93 degrees today (with the exception of 2 places on the internet that changed their mind overnight) and it got to be 103.5!
How does anyone know what a hurricane is going to be or how hot it will be?
