Although still a Cat 1, Rina is a bit off the coast of Punta Allen, roughly midway between Chetumal and Cozumel. Looks like she will be to Cozumel mid-afternoon today, but projected to weaken to a Tropical Storm later today. Tropical Storms have winds of 39-73 mph so we will continue to get soaked with some decent winds. The "eye" is projected to hit Cancun after 2 am tonight (Fri am) Still blowing with maximum winds of 75 mph. Hopefully we can put our candles and flashlights away, but not our unbrellas.
What is the week after looking like? Or will this weather just wrap backa round and start all over again???
The storm is going to make a right turn and pass by Cuba and then go towards south Florida. That is if it does not just fall apart to nothing. It has been a little, but not a lot, chilly, by Cancun standards anyway. BUT it is also good enough for going to the beach when it is not raining. Most, if not all, of this rain is storm related. In the last week there have been at least two great days, sunny and bright for the better part of the days. If you are coming down, I can promise the weather will be better than Toronto's. Jajaja
CORRECTION KELLY CAT: I just got an update and now what's left of Rina will be over Cancun tomorrow morning, will make a U turn to the right and fizzle out before reaching Cuba, which is only 90 miles away by the way.
