Cat 3... but I'm afraid that's conservative. If there ever was a July storm that could be a 4, this would be it.

I understand. You know it could peak at cat 3/4 but come in as a 2, much like Lily in 2002. You never know what could happen.

I'm saying Cat2 at landfall. It could be stronger before landfall. :D

I don't see it as more than a Cat. 2, max - I think it will have to play with too much land (Cuba). If it just clips the western tip of Cuba, then I may have to amend that.

I think it depends on where the storm tracks. If it gets into the central or western gulf, it will be over hotter water for a lot longer. The waters are much cooler off of northwest Florida, which would hinder intensification.<P>A landfall on the upper Texas coast could potentially be a 4, but probably not on the Florida panhandle.

Cat 3 definitely

#20 Postby Tommedic » Wed Jul 06, 2005 3:25 pm

At least a Cat 3, probably high end, and maybe Cat 4. Landfall a Cat 3.
