00z ECM takes it slightly more south than yesterday

HWRF going for a 120kt landfall hoping this doesn't happen

Seems to be a good spread on the intensity guidance although the majority keeping it as a TS

Eye starting to become a bit more defined and still intensifying on latest loop https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/sat/satlooper.php?region=05L&product=ir

Gotta love that gap, every year the same thing lol wonder what it is

Can see lightning all around me here not heard a single rumble of thunder yet though.

Now a Hurricane As of the 10am update 10:00 AM CDT Sat Jul 13 Location: 29.6°N 92.0°W Moving: NW at 6 mph Min pressure: 993 mb Max sustained: 75 mph

Does look like the centre is tightening up a fair bit now, still a few hours away from landfall also. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=subregional-W_Gulf_Coast-13-96-1-25-1&checked=latlon-map&colorbar=acht
