The numerically generated dynamical evolution of an RR Lyrae model from different initial conditions is subjected to a time-dependent Fourier analysis, which yields the temporal behavior of the amplitudes and phases of the few longlived transient modes in addition to the ultimate winner. It is shown that the amplitude equation formalism of Buchler and Goupil gives an almost perfect fit to the observed transient behavior of the amplitudes and phases of the excited modes. Prospects and applications are discussed.
