Re: October in the tropics

Well the last-minute recon flight has found that the depression is much stronger than it looked, and is in fact a 65 mph tropical storm - Marco. Marco could very well become a hurricane prior to landfall. However, given the fact that tropical storm force winds extend only 30 miles from the centre, it is likely that if it does reach hurricane intensity these winds will be confined to a very, very small area - probably just north of where the centre crosses the coast. After landfall, the small structure of Marco will likely dissipate very rapidly.
