...High Pressure To Build In...

GOOD MORNING! It has such a nice name, but Hurricane Emily is a monster.
The strong category four hurricane is churning west northwest through the
western Caribbean Sea this morning, heading toward the Yucatan Peninsula.
Last night, Air Force reconnaissance found a central pressure of 929
millibars in the hurricane's eye. This makes it slightly stronger than
Hurricane Dennis one week ago. That central pressure is also the 19th
lowest recorded in a North Atlantic hurricane. Emily's 155 mph winds ranked
it at a tie for 25th since 1851 with such other infamous storms as Hugo,
Betsy and Floyd. You get the idea what kind of storm this is.

EVENTUAL PATH OF EMILY: Emily has shown no sign of wavering from its
unusually straight course, and we see no reason for it to act any
differently now. Emily will strike the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula
as a cat 4 or 5 storm tonight, around midnight. It will then cross the
Yucatan, weakening as it goes, and emerge over the warm waters of the
southwestern Gulf. Its final landfall should come Tuesday night on the
northeastern coast of Mexico or southern Texas. It will have time to
recharge to major hurricane strength by then.

OUR WEATHER: Hurricane Emily will play no part in our future weather. The
building subtropical ridge of high pressure that is steering Emily westward
will have an increasing influence on our weather, however. After some
morning low clouds and fog, the sun will burn through. There will still be
a fairly good chance of rain across the area again today, but a little less
than on the past few days. The chance of rain today will be about 60
percent. By tomorrow, those rain chances will return to around normal for
this time of year. Of course, normal is about a forty percent chance of rain
in any 24 hour period, so it wont be dry. But it will be hotter, with highs
in the 90s each day this week. Overnight lows will be in the muggy lower to
middle 70s. There may be a better chance of rain Thursday as a weak cold
front drifts close to the state.
