-- This storm has played (edited by CM) before already, but it sure looks like it's blowing its stack over the last hours. Coldest tops yet.
Um ... *clears throat* ... I would like to kindly remind this is a family oriented board...Edit would be nice
I read that and was like "Did I stumble on one of my links I shouldn't be going to?"

A hurricane warning remains in effect for the yucatan peninsula from chetumal northward to cabo catoche, then westward and southward to campeche, including cozumel and the islas mujeres. A hurricane warning means that hurricane conditions are expected within the warning area within the next 24 hours. Preparations to protect life and property in the western portion of the warning area should be rushed to completion.
A tropical storm warning is in effect for the coast of belize from belize city northward to the belize-mexico border.
Interests in the southern and western gulf of mexico should monitor the progress of emily. A hurricane watch will likely be required for portions of the southern texas coast and the northeast coast of mexico early Monday.
For storm information specific to your area, including possible inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your local weather office.
At 2 am edt, 0600z, the center of hurricane emily was located near latitude 20.3 north, longitude 87.3 west or about 25 miles, 40 km, west-southwest of cozumel mexico and about 170 miles, 275 km, east-southeast of progreso mexico.
Emily is moving toward the west-northwest near 18 mph 30 km/hr, and this general motion is expected to continue for the next 24 hours. The center of emily has passed just to the southwest of cozumel, and will be onshore within the next hour. Emily is expected to emerge into the southern gulf of mexico later today.
Maximum sustained winds are near 135 mph, 215 km/hr, with higher gusts. Emily is a category four hurricane on the saffir-simpson scale. Some weakening will occur as emily moves over northern yucatan this morning.
Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 60 miles, 95 km, from the center, and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 150 miles, 240 km.
An air force hurricane hunter plane recently reported a minimum central pressure of 955 mb, 28.20 inches.
Coastal storm surge flooding of 8 to 12 feet above normal tide levels, along with large and dangerous battering waves, can be expected near and to the north of where the center makes landfall in mexico.
Rainfall totals of 5 to 8 inches are possible over portions of the yucatan peninsula with isolated maximum amounts up to 12 inches. Lesser amounts of 1 to 3 inches are possible over western cuba.
Repeating the 2 am edt position, 20.3 n, 87.3 w. Movement toward, west-northwest near 18 mph. Maximum sustained winds, 135 mph. Minimum central pressure, 955 mb.
The next advisory will be issued by the national hurricane center at 5 am edt.

Hurricane Emily Discussion Number 30
Statement as of 5:00 am EDT on July 18, 2005
the eyewall of Hurricane Emily passed over Cozumel a few hours ago.
The Air Force Reserve hurricane hunter aircraft overflew the island
during the eyewall passage...at 05z...and reported peak flight
level winds of 124 kt. At 0322z...they reported 141 kt. Landfall
occurred near 0630z just north of Tulum. The reconnaissance data
suggest that Emily likely made landfall as a category four
hurricane with maximum winds near 115 kt. No observations have yet
been received from the landfall area.
Emily will be spending roughly 9 hours over the Yucatan...but is
likely to maintain hurricane strength during this passage. A weak
upper-level low over the Bay of Campeche may be contributing some
southwesterly shear over Emily...but global models suggest that
this upper low will move west-southwestward and weaken within 12-24
hours. This would result in an upper-tropospheric environment
conducive to strengthening. Therefore...re-intensification is
likely once the center moves back over the waters of the southern
Gulf of Mexico. Just how much Emily restrengthens is partly
dependent on the extent that the inner core is disrupted after
passing over northern Yucatan.
The initial motion...295/15...is about the same as before...and the
official track forecast is also basically unchanged. NOAA and Air
Force Reserve aircraft conducted synoptic surveillance missions in
the Gulf and northwestern Caribbean last night. Dropsonde data from
these missions show a mid-level ridge solidly in place across the
northern Gulf. Global models indicate that this ridge could weaken
a little over the next 12-18 hours with the passage of a
mid-latitude short wave to the north. The upper low in the Bay of
Campeche could also result in a slight rightward deflection of the
track. However...both of these influences should diminish in
another 24 hours or so and the track should then Bend back toward
the left. The GFS...which has performed well with this storm...is
on the southern side of the guidance envelope...while the NOGAPS is
on the northern egde. The official forecast is in good agreement
with the FSU superensemble...which in fact has outperformed both
the NOGAPS and GFS with this cyclone. None of the Standard guidance
shows a landfall in south Texas at this time. Nevertheless...given
that the average 48 hour track error is about 140 nmi...such a
landfall is entirely possible.
1-minute data from NOAA buoy 42056 were helpful in adjusting the 34
kt wind radii in the southeast quadrant.
