Friday PM update:
*Erin swiftly strengthening*
*Rapid intensification possible*
*Category 4 predicted*
Hurricane Erin was taking on a more impressive satellite presentation Friday evening. Convective banding, or spiral thunderstorm activity, had improved near the storm's center. But the storm was ingesting dry Sahara air from the north. (See how there are periodic beats taken out of Erin's northern flank?)
We expect strengthening over the weekend, and rapid intensification is possible. Erin is moving over a region of water temperature between 84 and 86 degrees. It will also eventually outrun that dry Sahara air.
The big factor in possible rapid intensification will be upper-level outflow, or exhaust. Storms need to rid themselves of exhaust air at the top in order to ingest more warm, humid air in the bottom. (Hurricane are likely meteorological chimneys; the more blown out above, the more sucked in below). On Saturday and especially Sunday/Monday, a region of divergence, or spreading air, and clockwise flow will be located over the hurricane. That will improve Erin's outflow, and could help the storm catapult to Category 4 strength.
10:05AM Radar Update:
"Boxed" areas show where we have issued Special Marine Warnings this morning due to waterspouts. The waterspouts associated with these storms are expected to remain offshore. Mostly an issue for mariners.

They are raised with Univision/Telemundo novelas with blonde protagonists, raised in colorists households, I mean the list goes on. We are subjected to colorism since the day we are born. Our community is in desperate need of education
If the COVID-19 epidemic has taught us anything it is that the non-essential people are “bankers, hedge fund managers, and oil executives.” While the essential people are “grocery store clerks, warehouse workers, delivery truck drivers, and medical professionals.”
So society’s *real* key workers have just been revealed.
Not the bankers. Not the traders. Not the elite hedge fund managers.
It’s the nurses. The doctors. The delivery drivers. The carers. The porters. The teachers. The shelf stackers. The check out staff.

Non-Mexicans often ask me about Coco (The Movie). If you liked the movie and you’re interested in the traditions you should visit Mexico this time of the year. Tomorrow is Day of the Dead and my hometown looks like this right now. ❤️
