Tropics at Noon - Wednesday, Ike moves west... Hanna north

Hanna is hard to find here and doesn't look like much but I do believe she has turned the corner and will pull it together soon as she is finally moving. She is moving slowly but she is moving.

Next comes Ike who has not stopped moving...



You can see Hanna begin her northward movement on the loops below.

You can watch here as the ull digs down and she begins to get scooped up to the north the way you would grab a ball with your cesta playing Jai Alai.

As for Ike he moves menacingly west and is consolidating power. Estimates of him being a Category 3 storm on Monday about where Hanna is today are valid ones and he will be headed west bound. WNW or WSW or just plain old west...

Ominous 5 day...

And..lastly, please note the NHC felt it important enough to point out that Hanna is growing in size if not strength, imagine strength will come next as she is expected to be a hurricane again before lanfall. But, she will be a big, big, big storm size wise.

Look at the banding on Ike..

That's it for my lunchtime post. Going to lunch early before it gets too hot here..
