Looks like San Juan is going to get in the eye.

Undersea cables

This may be a dumb question, but is there a reason why we don't launch a drone from the Hurricane Hunters inside the eye to provide real-time data?

So if Maria hits Puerto Rico as a Cat 4 would that count as 3 Category 4 hits on the United States in one year?

Then you need to brush up on your math. The first two time periods are 24 years..the third is 16 years.

Never underestimate Irma's ability to straddle the coast so she can maximize her time over water...just seems to be her thing.

Very true. How much surge do you think will roll into Tampa?

Everyone was saying the same thing on Friday night as she looked like she was going to plow into Cuba. I believe she wil track right along the coast...but I guess we will find out in 30 mins

I won't be surprised when Irma just rakes the west coast of Florida from Ft. Myers to Cedar Key. She did it to Cuba.

NHC even says they are being conservative. We all know how these things go...if she gets a solid eye wall..she will bomb out, just like she did I approach to Cuba. If she doesn't she will be steady state.

Eye fully intact on Cuban Radar. This has been modeled pretty well by HWRF and shows her deepening as soon as she clears the coast.

Only about 1/3 of the eye has crossed...and still on NHC track even after that wobble WSW.

Looking at Cuban radar is looks like she is turning NW. Right on NHC track. Man...what a forecast.

Eye seems be shrinking a bit as it approaches Cuban coast...also looked like it took a wobble south of NHC track by a tiny bit.

Majority of that guidance just scrapes the coast of Cuba...which won't weaken Irma much at all.
