Anyone think we could see a special statement from the NHC, or think they'll wait until the next advisory? I mean, to me at least, it looks like it's gotten significantly stronger since even an hour ago.

I'm no expert, everything I say should be taken with a large amount of salt. I could easily be very, very wrong.

The storm is WELL east of the forecast area. Still within the Cone, but looks like it might make landfall soon.

I would bet money that this is close to 120mph. problem is the pressure has probably dropped below 965. wind may not respond before landfall though.

really wish there was radar !!

oh wait they do !! how amazing is this image !!

Could be the strongest landfall in the East Pac. Since Kenna of '02.

the angle its coming in is also a problem... the wind for the most part will be along the mountain range and that angle could cause much higher winds in areas.

Don't think it will get stronger than Lane.

While we wait for the adv, here is some trivia

Agatha 71 was in May and hit at 85 knt, it is currently at 90 knt so if it hit at 90kt it would be tied with Alma 96 the strongest pre-July EPAC landfall. Now if it hit 95 knts, the record would not be shared. Dolores 74 hit at 80 knts, and Bridget 71 hit at 85 knts. Boris 96 hit at 75 knts while Alma 96 hit at 90 knts. Also, if this storm strikes as an MH it becomes the earliest MH landfall in basin history.

Based on the raw Dvorak change in the last few hours, I would estimate it to be 105 kt right now (pressure 964mb).

I'm surprised they didn't at least bump it to 95 kt (although even that seems conservative IMO) as the ADT was 5.4 at Recon and 6.2 now...

Anyway glad to see you active on this thread Aric Dunn :D!

95 knt is fair, but the reason why they IMO did not go to MH status is political.
