TD26 has become TS #Delta, and continues to display a compact structure, with thunderstorms curling around the north side. This is a concerning sign that increases odds of rapid intensification occurring today & Tuesday. Good news is track may now miss Grand Cayman to the south. pic.twitter.com/RkY8HapPAQ

2z SHIPS text shows virtually little to no shear over #Delta for at least the next 60 hours along with SSTs of around 30C. Unsurprisingly, the rapid intensification probabilities are quite high (>60%) within the next 24 hours. pic.twitter.com/cwitz37Fcn

While we may see some adjustments to the track, this one should get picked-up and head towards Louisiana. Nothing is set in stone, of course, but the track of Delta is pretty straightforward at this time.

Pretty sure I've read on S2K that the Euro is always biased west on stronger storms in the gulf.

I wouldn't say it always is, it has been this year for sure though. I wouldn't discredit the trends though because the Euro is a pretty good model in the grand scheme of things. A lot of the models trended further west overnight and today. The latest EPS ensembles are a little to close for comfort for me right now. I would be happy to see the Euro (and other models) go ahead and shift back to the east.

Not that I want anyone to get hit by a hurricane, ever, but I surely don't want anything other than some decent rains.

I am not surprised to see a major hurricane in October.

I don’t, but it pretty much hugs the Texas coast and goes into Southwest Louisiana.
