Since Zeta is now in an area of lower shear (only around 20KT) and is getting better organized, I think Zeta will reach a peak intensity of 65MPH, in the 65MPH to 70MPH range. Zeta has a good opportunity to gain strength.
What are YOUR opinions? How strong do you think Zeta will get?

Hurricane given the cold-core subtropical origin of Zeta. Given that
origin, Zeta may be able to strengthen over cooler SSTs than
the SSTs normally required for normal tropical systems and normal
warm-origin hurricanes.
I agree! You forgot something... never use the word "weak"!

Well... I really haven't been studying the infra-red and visible sat images of these hurricanes and TSs so once again I have no idea how to read the infra red and visible images like you guys can. So I really don't expect anything from this system. From what I've heard latley from TWC (yes The Weather Channel) it formed from a low pressure system that swept through the U.S. I think like a week ago or somthing like that. So since once again I have no idea what to say about this system I'm saying btween 65 and 80 (I picked 65 - 70)

Great call on the 65 mph! Nailed it!
