Re: Celia

The last discussion forecasts Celia to peak just shy of hurricane strength. However, it looks to have become better organised since the last advisory with deep convection maintaining itself over a larger area. It has 24-48 hours of warm water left (notice that the E. Pacific has cooled somewhat over the past week), and I wouldn't be surprised to see it make minimal hurricane status.
