Emily to Landfall Near Cozumel

Midnight
Recon reports pressure leveling off, perhaps starting to go back down. Winds are back up, max flightlevel was around 162Mph, which would put estimated surface winds around 145MPH.

Cozumel is in bad shape, Emily is on the upswing again. God bless all the folks there. Hopefully the pressure will correct the windspeed some and it will drop.

Original Update
Emily is about to make landfall near Cozumel, Mexico in the Yucatan Peninsula. It has weakened a bit due to a weak upper level low pressure system in the Bay of Campeche, but it is holding at Category 4. The eye of emily is fluctuating wildly, right now, and for lack of a better term, fighting to hold itself together.

Southern Cozumel and areas just north of it will feel the brunt of the system, it will move over the Yucatan quite quickly and should weaken some, but remain a hurricane when it reenters the gulf near Mereda. At that time it has the chance to restrengthen again, and conditions will be favorible for it to do so.

The second landfall point is still most likely in Mexico, but southern texas will likely be under a hurricane watch as well tomorrow. And folks along there will need to prepare. There is a chance this could near brownsville, TX.
