..RINA HANGING IN THERE WITH 85 MPH WINDS...COULD BE A LITTLE BIT STRONGER...

..RINA HANGING IN THERE WITH 85 MPH WINDS...COULD BE A LITTLE BIT STRONGER...

The above is the official line out of the NHC.

Rina is now forecast to take the lower track and to die out slowly along the north coast of Cuba... somewhere near the cold front seems to now want to die out. Seems both are not long for this world.

Only one model still takes her to Florida. The other models show her diving south down into the Carib or lingering off the coast of Cuba.

And, yet.... they added the big "BUT" with the"could be a little bit stronger" and the encouraging "hanging in there" like they expected her to be down to 75 or 80 mph but alas she is still 85mph. Darn they hit her with all they could, tried mind control and showed her pictures of haciendas near Havana but no she is hanging in there...

Will see. She looks pretty good for a weakening girl. Still some nicely placed greens tonight on the Funktop.



They also S L O W E D down the time frame again and have her barely moving. My problem is that I can barely see the frontal boundary that is supposed to be here tomorrow....



All I see is a nice round storm sitting down there and not much of a frontal boundary anywhere. In theory, aside from upwelling problems the reason she weakens is that the frontal boundary doesn't pick her up and shoot her off to the NE.

I see Rina. I don't see the mean, strong cold front... just yet.
