"However...it is not out ofthe question that Katrina could reach category 5 status at somepoint before landfall. There is a possibility that southerly orsouthwesterly shear could affect Katrina starting at 48 hr...and asalways happens in hurricane of this intensity additional concentriceyewall cycles could occur."

They are keeping all bases covered but why stress only 125 mph as most probable when the storm has just gone from 70 to 115 mph in less favorable conditions the past 36 hours and the report clearly states conditions are favorable for further strengthening in a light shear environment over very warm water?
