Here comes Hurricane Rita!
Tropical Storm Rita, located a couple of hundred miles SE of Florida, is expected to become a hurricane later today. The storm is traveling WNW at 12 miles per hour, and is expected to pass the Florida strait Tuesday night and enter the Gulf of Mexico sometime Wednesday as a strong hurricane. The temperature of the Gulf waters have mostly rebounded since Hurricane Katrina and will continue to feed Rita. Most projected paths have Rita making landfall on the Texas/Louisiana coast next weekend.
Accuweather.com, one of the most accurate forecasters of weather in recent years, is predicting that all the conditions for hurricane formation will be met over the Gulf of Mexico during the next week, and that Tropical Storm Rita will make landfall in the Gulf as a Category 4 Hurricane.
