Keep eye on NHC, possible storms about a week out

It's eerie and not in a good way. The predicted tracks of Laura and 14 (not named yet) are very similar to those of Katrina and Rita in 2005, but this time their US landfalls are predicted to be within a few hours of each other. Not good.

Not the bedtime reading I was hoping for. 11pm Eastern NHC forecast has it as a minimal Cat 1 hurricane at landfall not that far south of here (Tulum general area by my eyeball). Evidently they placed the center a little further north and it will not pass over Honduras, which would have kept development in check for a little while. 75 mph is still manageable more or less, just fingers crossed it doesn't move much higher

This morning the NHC website no longer has the storm as a hurricane at the point of landfall on the Yucatan. It must be right on the cusp.

That’s some warm waters it’ll be entering...let’s hope it veers northeast!

That is most likely why it goes from S to H over the warm waters of the Gulf.

NHC still confused why it hasn’t strengthened more in a favorable environment. Probably too much dry air.

I’d be shocked if I see either hit a Cat 1....regardless safety to ALL!
