#306804 (Received by flhurricane at: 2:17 AM 08.Nov.2009) TCDAT1 HURRICANE IDA SPECIAL DISCUSSION NUMBER 16 NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL112009 115 AM CST SUN NOV 08 2009 THIS SPECIAL ADVISORY IS BEING ISSUED TO ADJUST THE SHORT-TERM INTENSITY AND TRACK FORECAST OF IDA. BASED ON THE OBSERVED INTENSIFICATION OF THE SYSTEM IN THE LAST FEW HOURS...THE INTENSITY FORECAST IS RAISED TO 85 KT AT 12 AND 24 HOURS...WITH THE POSSIBILITY THAT IDA COULD GET A LITTLE STRONGER THAN THAT SOMETIME TODAY. BEYOND 36 HOURS...THE INTENSITY FORECAST IS UNCHANGED FROM THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY. BASED ON THE AIRCRAFT RECONNAISSANCE FIX AROUND 0600 UTC...WHICH WAS ABOUT A HALF A DEGREE TO THE WEST OF THE FORECAST TRACK...THE TRACK FORECAST HAS BEEN ADJUSTED WESTWARD THROUGH 24 HOURS...INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD THAT HURRICANE-FORCE WINDS COULD IMPACT THE NORTHEASTERN YUCATAN PENINSULA. THIS NECESSITATES THE ISSUANCE OF A HURRICANE WARNING FOR A PORTION OF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA AT THIS TIME.
