Hurricane Rita Pt3

[pinball wizard]

Yeah it's ok KW, your one of the most knowlegable people on here, I respect your information and read it with interest.

It's some of the stuck up members that get on my nerves.

I await more people telling me to grow up ^_^

Grow UP :unsure:

there are many conflicting reports of when the storm will hit land.... I have heard it is either 7.00am or 12pm our time. I am guessing it could be changing all the time - but whats the estimated time of arrival for Rita tomorrow (UK time)?

Funny you should ask that now, ive just been looking at the loops S R and I reckon it may be sooner than first thought - probably around 4 - 6am our time.

Excellent image weatherwatcher.

This sat image appears to update every 15mins. Been watching it for a while :unsure:

Remember UTC time is actually +1 hour!

Infra-red image really shows up those cold cloud tops W and NW of centre.

Hi snow raven it's due to hit 5am our time tomorrow morn approx traveling at 10 mph and 80 miles out to sea so hurricane force winds will hit in 8 hrs time

Nice 1 Mondy, I'll keep checking

[rixxxgolf]

24 hours ago I had the landfall here...

[smich]

Seems to have speeded up a bit - I was predicting a midday landfall earlier - oops!

What a storm though eh folks? She's still strong, even after a week. If she weakens a little and doesn't kill too many people - great! We still had the spectacle of a full on CAT 5 feeding off the gulf, and it was damn exciting!

WOW that soon? she's got a wriggle on then hasn't she? I thought it was going to be much later. Will have to set alarm.

Yup I was expecting 10 am earlier this morning when I checked before going to work, but from studying latest satellite it looks like shes changed course slightly and therefore now has less sea to cross before reaching land hence earlier time for landfall :unsure:

I'm not far out.

Ok, IMO it's going to make landfall between Galveston and Port Arthur, probably nearer to Port Arthur. You don't seem to be far out. I said TX/LA border about 2 days ago but that was pure guesswork.

That hurricane(Phillipe) wont come close i can tell you now

I bet rita looks impressive from space

[Snow Queen one]

news channels have it missing Galveston. They are due to get only cat 1 winds n it will be cat 3 when it hits land so they are lucky. Good job too as the news rooms could have lost some reporters there do you think they like the ones they sent there in the first place? ^_^

[Candice]

While we all take a quick break and check things out ,anyone got an inkling as to what Phillipe is up to? This morning he was to dissipate, now he's looped himself heading WNW. East side US on alert next?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeh this is really weird. Phillipe seemed to be on course towards Ireland for Tuesday and it now seems to have turned round. I saw a comment somewhere on the NOAA site that it's doing its thing near Bermuda - or have I got this completely wrong. If Phillipe isn't coming our way what's the big depression off NW Scotland/Eire at the beginning of next week on the METO fax?

Whats the predicted time of landfall?

Its a depression that deepens over iceland where it originated, that may prove interesting on Monday
