Looks like you're lucky this time....
Tropical Storm Rina weakened as it neared a landfall later today on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, bringing heavy rain to the popular tourist areas along the coast, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center.
Rina, with top winds of 60 miles (97 kilometers) per hour, is 50 miles south-southwest of Cozumel and moving north at 7 mph. The storm is expected to pass that resort island and the city of Cancun later today and tomorrow, the center said in an advisory at 5 p.m. New York time.
“The new intensity forecast calls for Rina to meet an earlier demise than on the previous advisory, with the cyclone expected to weaken to a tropical depression by 48 hours,” the center said in an analysis.
The agency’s latest forecast track calls for the storm to reverse direction after passing Cancun and head south, back into the western Caribbean, where it will dissipate.
The path, which resembles an upside-down U, is away from the U.S., the Bay of Campeche and the Gulf of Mexico, where oil and natural-gas platforms and rigs are concentrated, forecasters said. The Gulf is home to 27 percent of U.S. oil production and 6.5 percent of gas output.
