Looks like the colder tops are expanding again around the center.

GFS right up the spine.

Down to 155 mph, cat 4. Could weaken more followed by possible strengthening again per NHC. No real change in track..

Eh..6 hours isn't that much of a difference at this rate. They'll be issued late this morning. Everyone knows they're coming, a lot of people are already leaving. NHC usually does everything by the book.

No Cuba landfall this time, quite a bit north of previous runs.

Usually the better intact a storm is when hitting cuba like that, the worse shape its in when it reemerges. Especially if its a large size...and it just doesnt get its act back together. Ike was like that i believe..was supposed to get to cat 4 or 5 again over the Gulf and couldnt do it. Sent from my SM-G930U using Tapatalk

Since GFS upgrade it overly deepens hurricanes all the time

Lol @ Drudge..such stupidity

Interesting how the top 3 are all in Missouri, or in case of the tri-state, started in MO.

Great to hear you're OK Jomo! My sister lives in Springfield, and she has talked to a state trooper in Joplin. According to him, part of the reason the ID-ing of people is going slow is because they are finding 'parts' of people, and it's taking a while. Sorry to be gruesome..he said it's like being sucked up into a blender.
