Satellite photographs show that Hurricane Emily is now sliding off the north coast of the Yucatan into the Extreme Southern Gulf of Mexico.
High cirrus clouds spinning outward clockwise from the top of the hurricane have reached the Alabama Coast.
But that does not mean anything. Emily is not expected to bother Alabama.
NHC official hurricane track forecast is for landfall on the upper east coast of Mexico in the middle of the night Wednesday night. However, a Hurricane Watch extends northward on the Texas Coast from Brownsville to Baffin Bay.
Baffin Bay is south of Corpus Christi and SE of Kingsville, Texas.
9:00 O'CLOCK SPOT REPORT:
Bay of Campeche Buoy No. 42055...Wind ENE 15 to 18 mph, four-foot waves, water temperature 86. With sea surface temperatures that high, Emily should grow stronger again. Other ingredients in the pie support growth also.
