Unfortunately for Cuba another hurricane is heading their way... Also unfortunately the GFDL and the HWRF both show Paloma becoming a major hurricane before landfall in central Cuba... I hope Paloma doesn't get that strong but it honestly looks like it will... Warm ocean waters and very little shear equals big problems for the country of Cuba... This will be the third major hurricane to strike the country of Cube this year as I think it's very similar to Omar in the way it will rapidly deepen before landfall... Also it's interesting that we got one more tropical cyclone out of a rising motion pulse of the MJO... I really think more research should be done on the MJO because it's obviously a great indicator of possible tropical development... Of course it's not a perfect indicator because many other things have to come together but I do find it amazing how the MJO seems to be a match for the gasoline when it comes to tropical development...
Current Observation for Hurricane Paloma:
17.5 N 81.8W
Movement towards the North at 8mph
Central Pressure of 987mb
