Wordt nog steeds richting New Orleans verwacht als cat. 4, mogelijk cat. 5!
this special advisory is being issued to update the initial and
forecast intensity of Hurricane Katrina. An Air Force
reconnaissance aircraft reported 700 mb flight level winds of 137
kt in the northwestern eyewall... corresponding to about 125 kt at
the surface. The latest minimum central pressure measured by the
aircraft was 935 mb. Although the hurricane has reached 125 kt
more quickly than previously expected...the intensity forecast up
until landfall has only been nudged upward to 130 kt. It is
possible that Katrina could get stronger than forecast and perhaps
even reach category five status sometime during the next 36 hours.
