There is very little change from yesterday morning: the center is still nearly stationary, off the coast of Guerrero. Still predicted to start heading west away from land by tomorrow. The max winds have weakened down to 105 MPH (Category 2.) Around midday an US Air Force Hurricane Hunter plane will fly through Raymond to give us more accurate data.

The Mexican morning TV news didn't mention any big landslides or flooding or fatalies yet. Hopefully there won't be any.

It still looks like not much rain will come our way.

I have never seen a strong hurricane come to a comple stop for 2 days and counting! The steering currents must be incredibly balanced...
