Re: alma starts a fight

Arthur has a large wind field - tropical storm force winds out to 260 miles. This is probably, in part, why the system is forecast to weaken by only 5 knots while transiting the Yucatan, and then reintensify over the BOC. Surprised they left it so late to call it, as it was probably a Tropical Depression earlier today too. Cant remember the last time NHC classified a system after it had moved onland tho!
