Este ciclón se está enfrentando de forma exitosa a valores de cizalladura bastante elevados... Los meteorólogos del Centro Nacional de Huracanes también lo comentan en sus análisis:

HURRICANE IKE DISCUSSION NUMBER 21NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL092008
500 AM EDT SAT SEP 06 2008
AIR FORCE RESERVE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT RECORDED A MAXIMUM FLIGHT
LEVEL WIND OF 104 KT OVER THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT AND AN SFMR PEAK
WIND OF 96 KT OVER THE NORTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE CYCLONE. BASED
ON THESE DATA...
THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS HELD AT 100 KT. THE
AIRCRAFT METEOROLOGIST ALSO INDICATED THAT IKE HAS A CLOSED 24 NM
DIAMETER EYE.
A DROPSONDE WITHIN THE EYE MEASURED 983 MB 
BUT THAT
WAS WITH A SURFACE WIND OF 16 KT. AS A COMPROMISE...THE CENTRAL
PRESSURE IS ADJUSTED SLIGHTLY TO 982 MB. ALTHOUGH
NORTHERLY SHEAR
SEEMS TO BE PERSISTING OVER THE CYCLONE...IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE
AFFECTING THE INNER CORE CONVECTION AS MUCH AS IT WAS PREVIOUSLY.
INTENSITY MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE THAT THE SHEAR WILL DECREASE
IN ABOUT 24 HOURS...
WHICH SHOULD ALLOW FOR SOME STRENGTHENING
BEFORE IKE MOVES NEAR OR OVER THE NORTHERN COAST OF CUBA. THE
INTENSITY FORECAST IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS PACKAGE BUT NOW
DEPICTS SOME WEAKENING AS IKE TRAVERSES THE CUBAN COAST. OF
COURSE...ANY SLIGHT DEVIATION NORTH OR SOUTH OF THE FORECAST WILL
EITHER ALLOW FOR STRENGTHENING OVER WATER OR A LONGER PERIOD OF
WEAKENING OVER LAND. LATER ON...CONDITIONS APPEAR RATHER CONDUCIVE
FOR STRENGTHENING OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO.
INITIAL MOTION IS ESTIMATED AT 255/14...WITHIN THE DEEP-LAYER FLOW
OF A STRONG RIDGE DIGGING SOUTHWESTWARD OVER THE BAHAMAS...THROUGH
THE STRAITS OF FLORIDA...AND INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN GULF OF MEXICO.
DYNAMICAL MODELS SUGGEST THAT THE RIDGE WILL SHIFT TO A MORE ZONAL
PATTERN DURING THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS WHICH WILL CAUSE IKE TO MOVE
IN A MORE WESTWARD FASHION. AFTERWARD...GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT
THE SOUTHWEST RIDGE EXTENSION OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN GULF/STRAITS OF
FLORIDA WILL ERODE JUST ENOUGH TO INDUCE A GRADUAL TURN TOWARD THE
NORTHWEST BY THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. THERE IS MUCH
UNCERTAINTY IN THE MODELS AS TO HOW CLOSE IKE WILL APPROACH THE
NORTHERN COAST OF CUBA. IN FACT...THE TWO HURRICANE MODELS
ACTUALLY BRING THE CYCLONE OVER THE ISLAND IN 36 HOURS. WITHOUT
QUESTION...THE PARTICULAR TRACK THAT THE GFDL AND HWRF ARE
SUGGESTING COULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON IKE'S INTENSITY.
THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS WEIGHED HEAVILY ON THE MODEL CONSENSUS AND
IS ADJUSTED JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY TO COMPENSATE
FOR THE WESTWARD-SHIFTING MODEL TREND.

FORECASTER ROBERTS/KNABB
Destacar que sostiene vientos de gran huracán, pero su presión mínima estimada es de 982 mb
Me parece demasiado alta! No dejarán de sorprenderme estos monstruos meteorológicos
Destacar así mismo la posibilidad de que se diriga hacia Cuba... Vaya racha que llevan! Pero dudo que IKE se mantenga tan fuerte si no se cumplen esos pronósticos de cizalladura a la baja. Las corrientes en chorro en la RDP y cerca de ella están subiendo mucho los niveles. Yo creo que más de lo normal para esta época del año
