Re: Dean Makes Landfall in Mexico as a Category 5 Hurricane
|
Latest info at 8:00 Central Time by the Mexican Meteorological Service reports a central pressure of 935 and winds of 127 mph. That will make Dean a Cat 3. Given the weakening rate from landfall and its location halfway through the Yucatan peninsula I expect it will weaken to a Cat 2 by the time it gets back to sea in the Campeche Bay. Unfortunately, the report does not indicate which stations are the source of data. Here is the link (in spanish though) http://smn.cna.gob.mx/
