Prediction: One thing you're going to see, especially tomorrow, is rapidly expanding tropical-storm-force wind radii -- and it may prompt warnings to go up quicker than people may be expecting.

I agree, Earlier when she was in the eastern Caribbean I posted that she probably wouldn't grow in size much till she made landfall, seems she's done that and will have a larger wind field

She is beginning to wrap deeper convection at least around her southern periphery, which could swing her more westward in time. Nonetheless, she has very warm sst's, low shear and could deepen rapidly much like Opal did in that part of the GOM.

Something that may have been said earlier I'm not sure, but when Emily came off the Yucatan Peninsula it was in some the coolest SST in the GOM.

Looking at the visible loop she has tracked pretty much NW over the past 3 hours or so. I'd be preparing in Brownsville right now...
