Hurricane Carlotta has rapidly strengthened into a high Category 3 hurricane as of last night(Tuesday), and now is forecast to make it to Category 4. Previous forecasts had Carlotta peaking at Category 3 sometime today. The National Hurricane Center's GFDL model is, as it now seems to be notorious for, failing miserably. Thankfully Carlotta isn't expected to make any contact with land. The largest effect to land from this storm now will be some heavy surf along the coast.
Here are the specifics as of 11 pm eastern 6/20...
Hurricane Carlotta... Category 3
15.2 N 103.4 W
Max Sustained Winds- 130 mph, gusts to 160
Movement- West, 10 mph
Pressure- 955 millibars (28.19 inches)
