NHC showing this storm dying to Cat 2 by landfall.
Not a walk in the park, but better than a 4 or 5.

NHC showing this storm dying to Cat 2 by landfall. Hopefully, it'll pull an Allen and do just that.
I actually was glad it peaked two days before hitting the coast. Storms have a hard time maintaing Cat 5 intensity for more than a day at a time.

NHC showing this storm dying to Cat 2 by landfall.This is not true...it is forecast to be at 125kt (144 mph) at landfall, and 100kt 30 miles inland.

I hope they are right but they (NHC) have a bad track record with forcasting this storm's intensity more than 24hours out. Of course, any storm that explodes from TS to Cat 5 in 36 hours is going to throw people for a loop...
