Re: Category 2

That's what I'm looking at, but I don't see long-term forecast values, only +3hr. Thanks much.

To force 2005 -- there is no way that the water temps in the GOM would support strengthening to Cat 4/5 level. Maybe some little strengthening around western tip of Cuba if no wind sheer there, but in the western GOM how do you see that happening? However I see increasing wind shear as well.
