Discussion
During the past 24-36 hours, Hurricane “Delta” has undergone rapid intensification – the most extreme for an October tropical cyclone since “Wilma” in the super-charged year of 2005. Hurricane “Delta” is now pounding the northeastern part of the Yucatan Peninsula region of Mexico. After that, “Delta” may make a direct hit on the north-central Gulf coastal region (e.g., southwestern Louisiana) by late Friday or so and then take a turn to the north and east once inland with significant rainfall in the Deep South and Tennessee Valley – perhaps even bringing some late weekend rainfall all the way to the Mid-Atlantic region.
