Hurricane Felix
Updated Monday at 7PM CST
Felix has been weakening today, but over the last couple hours it has showed
signs of strengthening. The eye wall has become well defined again in the latest
infrared images and cloud tops have cooled. Fluctuations in intensity are typical
with strong hurricanes and this cycle will continue all the way up until Felix
begins to interact with land.
Felix with make landfall on Honduras tomorrow morning probably as a category
4-5 hurricane. Rapid weakening will take place and Felix will be lucky to regain
hurricane strength before crossing Belize.
I haven't had much time to do any forecasting and due to the fact that Felix is
highly unlikely to hit the US, I probably will not post any more updates unless
something unexpected happens.
