Paloma reaches Category 3
Update: The forecast track at 10 p.m. (above) has shifted Paloma to the north by next week, pulling a piece of South Florida into the five-day cone of uncertainty. But the storm is projected to diminish to a “remnant low” with winds of 25-35 mph by Tuesday and Wednesday, presenting a greatly reduced threat.
Original post:
Paloma has become a “dangerous” Category 3 hurricane with winds up to 115 mph as it batters Grand Cayman on the way to Cuba, the National Hurricane Center said at 7 p.m.
South Florida remains out of the cone of probabilty, though some computer models show a weakened Paloma drifting westward in the Bahamas in the direction of South Florida early next week. Wind shear — powerful winds that break up hurricanes — and other factors are expected to pare down its strength starting Sunday.
“There probably won’t be much left of Paloma if it makes that westward turn due to the extremely high shear,” NHC specialists Eric Blake and James Franklin wrote in afternoon discussion.
