Re: All Central Gulf Coasters...

Tough call, although thanks for the confidence in my forecast...wish you'd tell my bosses that!!

Intensity is gonna be a tough call, but I think Izzy will be a hurricane again with 24 hrs of the center getting back over the Gulf (assuming it does so in the next 18-24 hrs, which I think it will)...the forward speed component is a strong variable in this, and it is all over the place in the model solutions...

My best guess? Solid cat 2...maybe a cat 3...but more likely a 2,...100 mph winds.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
