Re: Celia

I don't think she's developing an eye, but circulation does appear to be tightening a bit. Winds are down to 50 MPH, and although some additional strengthening is possible, it doesn't look like she'll ever make it to Hurricane Strength. Although latest Dvorak #s are listed at 3.0/3.0, I wouldn't be surprised if they are a shade lower than that, probably on the order of 2.5/2.5.

She's still only moving at 7 MPH, and will be over warm waters for about another day, so it's not impossible to reach H-strength, but highly unlikely.

Cheers,
