Re: Category 5 Hurricane Rtia Moves Westward in the Gulf

The last forecast point before landfall has the intensity at 135 kts (155 mph), which I assume is what Dr. Lyons is referring to. However, keep in mind that is a point forecast and the storm will still be off the coast by then. If it is in a weakening trend at that point, it will come in weaker than that. Forecast landfall will occur somewhere between 48-72 hours.
