Delta is\nmoving toward the west near 8 mph (13 km\/h), and a turn toward the\nwest-northwest should occur this evening. A faster northwestward\nmotion is expected Tuesday through Wednesday night. On the \nforecast track, the center of Delta is expected to pass southwest\nof the Cayman Islands early Tuesday, and approach the northeastern \nportion of the Yucatan peninsula and the Yucatan Channel Tuesday \nafternoon or evening. Delta is forecast to move into the \nsouthern Gulf of Mexico Tuesday night or early Wednesday, and be \nover the south-central Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday and Wednesday \nnight. \n\nData from a NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that the \nmaximum sustained winds have rapidly increased to near 70 mph (110 \nkm\/h) with higher gusts.  Additional rapid strengthening is \nexpected during the next day or so, and Delta is expected \nto be a major hurricane when it nears the Yucatan Peninsula.\n\nTropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km)\nfrom the center.\n\nThe minimum central pressure estimated from NOAA reconnaissance \naircraft data is 983 mb (29.03 inches).\n\n\nHAZARDS AFFECTING LAND\n----------------------\nKey messages for Delta can be found in the Tropical Cyclone\nDiscussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT1, WMO header WTNT41\nKNHC, and on the web at www.hurricanes.gov\/text\/MIATCDAT1.shtml<\/a>.\n\nSTORM SURGE:  A dangerous storm surge will raise water levels by\nas much as 4 to 7 feet above normal tide levels along coast of the\nYucatan peninsula within the hurricane warning area, near and to\nright of where the center makes landfall. Near the coast, the surge\nwill be accompanied by large and dangerous waves.\n\nWIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected in the Cayman Islands\nbeginning tonight.  Hurricane conditions are expected within the\nhurricane warning area in the Yucatan Peninsula Tuesday night, with\ntropical storm conditions beginning late Tuesday.  Hurricane\nconditions are expected within a portion of the the Hurricane\nWarning area in western Cuba by late Tuesday night, with tropical\nstorm conditions expected beginning late Tuesday.  Hurricane\nconditions are possible on the Isle of Youth beginning Tuesday\nafternoon with tropical storm conditions expected by early Tuesday.\nTropical storm conditions are possible in the Tropical Storm Watch\narea in Cuba on Tuesday.\n\nRAINFALL:  Through midweek, Delta is expected to produce 3 to 6\ninches of rain with isolated maximum totals of 8 inches across\nJamaica, the Cayman Islands, western Cuba and the northern Yucatan\nPeninsula. This rainfall could lead to significant flash floods and\nmudslides.\n\nLater this week into the weekend, Delta is expected to bring heavy\nrainfall across portions of the central Gulf Coast into the\nsoutheastern United States.<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
