Hurricane Paloma

Hurricane Paloma reached a peak intensity his afternoon of 145mph. Around 6PM this evening Palolma came ashore Cuba as a major hurricane. With the 10PM advisory the max winds have decreased to 115mph, still a major hurricane though.

The official 1oPM advisory puts extreme southeast Florida in the cone of concern in say five. This forecast path take Paloma into the Bahamas and then veers back towards the northwest. This type of motion is in reaction to a front that will be approaching our area. As this front interacts with Paloma the structure of the storm will be disrupted and should be weakening at that point.

I will have an update Sunday afternoon.
