Hurricane Dean has made landfall in Mexico as a Category 5, the first Hurricane since Andrew that was a Category 5 hurricane at time of landfall. It is already weakening inland, but it should maintain hurricane intensity until it briefly reenters the Gulf in the Bay of Campeche. Warnings are up for much of Mexico around the Southern Edges of the Bay of Campeche.
It should continue westward and make a second landfall in Mexico and continue on into the mountains of Central Mexico, where it is expected to be torn up by the mountains.
92L is one of those disturbances that probably wouldn't be even talked about if it wasn't late August, it's still very disorganized this morning, but has a chance to develop, it continues westward around 20MPH. Things can change rapidly.
92L did not persist yesterday much at all, and there isn't much convection to speak of. Chances for development are very low.
Chances for Tropical Development of Wave Northeast of the Caribbean (92L) within the next 48 hours
Code:
(forget it) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 (sure thing)
