Watching the various loops, it doesn't look like there's anything pushing/pulling this thing inland. IMO, it appears it's taken a more Easterly jog and continues to parallel the coastline.

For future reference Josh - Humberto looks to be heading to an area that is about as sparse as Kenedy county, and not very accessible.

I think it's going to be a cane on the advisories. :thumbsup: First U.S. hurricane landfall in almost 23 months imminent!

I have at least 79 Kts now., and in a good section of it, not just small and in 1 frame.

EDIT: Up to 81 Kts now.

Yeah, last 2 frames have been showing the strong winds over a more significant area.

Also, a buoy just offshore of Galveston reported sustained winds of 48 mph, gusting to 57.
