Didn't Humberto last year go from nothing to hurricane in about 36 hours just about as close to land?



Yes, Humberto pulled off a rapid spin up off the La and TX Coast last year.
This system has the opportunity to develop a bit more. The upper air currents are currently favorable for slight intensification. But with the trough nearby the window of opportunity is very narrow.

Great thanks to all who donated and everyone who uses the site as well. Site designed for 1920x1080+ resolution.
When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
