Arlene now making landfall
The advisory is in! The National Hurricane Center has declared that landfall is occurring near Cabo Rojo.
- Maximum Wind: 65mph
- Location: 21.5N 97.3W (my estimate was probably .1 too far north if this observation sticks in post-analysis)
- Minimum Pressure: 996 mb
- Movement: due west at 9 mph
Conditions will rapidly fall apart over the next 24 hours, but the strongest rainbands remain offshore. They will move onshore in Mexico and extreme southern Texas over the next 6 hours or so. 4-8″ of rain may fall over some areas with higher rainfall totals occurring in mountainous areas.
All down hill from here! Rest up now before the season heats up soon enough.
