The slower motion *could* allow more time over water, but still only a moderate chance per the NHC.

I think a Cat 2 is very possible down there. The waters are boiling and the models seem to show a good upper level environment. As long as it doesn't race too fast or get easterly shear.

Interesting that some models are showing a system forming near Texas, maybe a weak tropical storm. If that occurs, that could affect the ridging above 94L by the time the system would be in the Central or Western Caribbean. Another thing to monitor.

Bertha 2008 was a Cat 3.

I remember Claudette in July 2003. A long tracked hurricane that never did much until the end. It slammed into Port O'Connor, TX as a 90 mph nastycane.

Excellent!

Dark and rainy here in Stow. No school closings yet.

It's a whiteout right now in Stow, OH. Some of the heaviest snow I've seen this year, honestly! We're caught in a small snow band on radar.

Lots of schools closed today. Lucky kids.

So when are the long-range models showing another blast for NEOH?

My sister measured about 9-10" in Cuyahoga Falls.

This is gonna be one heck of a storm if this future radar holds true.
