Hurricane Emily Intermediate Advisory Number 38A Brownsville's radar loop has been offering the sight of Emily's eye wobbling inside of the broader counterclockwise circulation; it appears that an outer eyewall is forming.  This should keep intensification in check for the rest of Emily's life. 2005 Hurricane Season comment []1:11:56 AM   trackback []
