I'll say 922 mb/140 kt.
-
Watching the satellite, Eta's eye just got even BETTER defined, and those extreme cold cloudtops now make up the entire CDO. Similar to Wilma, to be honest.
-
Any status on the recon?
-
-
100 mph, Cat 2. This is definitely strengthening due to enhancement from the trough picking it up.
-
This is now Zeta. It seems like westward adjustments towards the Yucatan may be necessary.
-
I still think we could see a November hurricane. By that time, realistically we could be on Hurricane Eta.
-
I think Delta is holding together quite well on radar. Not a Katrina, but certainly a bad lashing coming for Louisiana.
-
Delta clearly won't be as strong as Laura, and possibly not a major hurricane upon landfall. Nevertheless, quite a severe blow to the Gulf Coast of Louisiana, especially following the devastation of Laura in August.

-
I'm not seeing any shear over Delta right now at all. It's definitely taking advantage of whatever it can.
-
Quite a menacing look beginning to take shape.
-
Hurricane Delta is much better stacked than when in the Caribbean. Looks quite menacing, in my opinion.
-
-
Surveillance data from the NOAA G-IV aircraft suggest that Delta's circulation does not extend as markedly into the upper troposphere as one would expect for a major hurricane. Very interesting.
-
Recon found 963 mb. Any word on winds?
-
Emily 2005 looked similar and maintained 135 mph Cat 4 into landfall near Playa Del Carmen.
-
I think it's easterly shear.
-
Not looking good
-
Getting that shape.
-
This is clearly a 65-70 kt hurricane. Visible looks great.
-
Impressive shape and outflow. Trying hard to become a hurricane before striking the Yucatan. Doubt it gets there.
-
When's the last real decent October Western Caribbean major?
-
I don't think this season shuts down in October the way that 2004 and 2017 did. I think we likely still see one or two major hurricanes.

Thank you, Mr. President. FYI, I almost put "eggshell", but then I thought "screw it".
