[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Milton is already a Cat 4 (nearly or STB Cat 5) but they're not saying that it will continue to strengthen as it continues over the Gulf? Why would this one not continue to strengthen as other hurricanes have done? [/quote] It may strengthen to a Cat 5 but then will weaken before landfall because of wind shear it will encounter. There are several factors that can weaken a hurricane: Dry air, Wind Shear, Land, Cooler Waters. It's predicted there will be some high wind shear that will cut into Milton before landfall, bringing it to category three or lower before landfall. [/quote] That would be enough to overcome the warm temperature of the water? I'm not arguing, I'm just surprised. [/quote]
