We now have Hurricane . Clearly, the satellite presentation continues to improve by the hour and now recon has confirmed another 5 mb pressure drop and a jump in surface wind to 75 or 80 mph. It also appears to be slightly north of the official forecast track, not that that will make much of a difference in the big picture. It doesn't have a ton of time left, but there is certainly room for some further strengthening before tonight's landfall.

The further north for a landfall the more time can spend in the BOC/GOM.
The SST is pretty warm so it would not surprise me to see category 2 making landfall this evening.

Both satellite imagery and the Belize radar loop show the eye making a jog/wobble to the west southwest toward Chetumal, Mexico. Forward speed has increased a little and it looks like landfall is going to be this evening around 11PM CDT.

If I'm reading the satellite correctly, appears to have taken a jog to the southwest this morning. If that's the case, that'll leave him over land for a longer period of time before reappearing over the water, hampering the time he has to get back up to hurricane strength.

Yesterday's index is in nearly the same exact position as it was prior to the June Atlantic tropical outbreak.
The current systems could have a better chance at further developing into Tropical Storms or Hurricanes. Based on prior experience with the .
Hurricane Chris began on June 19th. Just 5 days after the moved into the Western Hemisphere.
Tropical Storm Debby began on June 23rd. Just after the peaked in Sector 8 and crossed into Sector 1.

Coincidence. Possibly. Stranger things have happened.
Keep an eye or two on the Atlantic. Including the system near the Bahamas and the remnants of Florence to the NE of Puerto Rico.
Don't let your guard down just because it's the weekend

There will be quite a few systems but none of them are likely to reach the United States with the evolving upper air pattern over the United States and in the Atlantic Ocean; any system that does develop has to be suppressed south to have a shot; the only viable system is TD7 which will be south enough to have a shot at being pulled poleward once it reaches the Western Caribbean. The well-advertised African wave and it's progress will be discussed in the Forecast Lounge; it is a solid two weeks away at this time from affecting the US. We will talk future track over in the Forecast Lounge and on our Facebook page; tracks beyond day 5 have large errors.

Note that the Current Storm tracking map for TD7 (on the left) does not yet reflect the current track for TD7 which will be moving westward for quite a few days.

ADDED: Correct map is now posted.

Well so much for the and it's forecasting ability. Tropical wave in the Eastern Caribbean is the only game in town right now.
