Wed 6aCDT,7aEDT: Continued its weakening trend overnight. Just made landfall near Puerto Morelos, Mexico (between Cancun and Cozumel) as a Cat2 110mph winds.
Wed morning: microwave imagery shows the expected structural change of Delta’s eye. Now becoming much more broad and spreading wind reach much further out...so more typical of an average hurricane instead of pinhole eye and tiny radius of wind reach. https://twitter.com/jacksillin/statu...02291619811328
Moves into the Gulf today, restrengthens, taking more West track so longer time over warmer waters. NHC has at Cat4 by Friday before the expected weakening before landfall begins with a Cat2 or 3 landfall.
Wed 7-Oct 7pCDT,8pEDT
Winds 90mph(150km/h)
Moving NW 17mph(28km/h)
Pressure 973mb
Center about 550miles(890km) SSE of Cameron, LA
Hurricane winds extend up to 35miles(55km) from center, TS winds 125miles(205km), these will continue to expand outwards as storm re-intensifies.
Has 24-36hrs to intensify. Steady re-strengthening already occurring. Trough over TX and High over FL squeezes storm up the middle. Thursday is your last day to prepare if in the path as conditions go downhill Friday.
The Wed 10pCDT,11pEDT update includes Hurricane & Surge Warnings. Again, this is just time based issued and means we’ve now entered the 36hr window until TS winds arrive.
Thurs 8-Oct 7aCDT,8aEDT
Winds 100mph(155km/h)
Moving NW 15mph(24km/h)

Hurricane winds extend up to 35miles(55km) from center, TS winds 125miles(205km)
Pressure down a little more = slow steady intensification still occurring.
Between Luara and this, it looks like ral is going to get a double whammy this year. Alexandria is right in the center of the cone.
