Look at the OOCL Southampton charging across the Gulf directly in front of Idalia. With a 16 kt forward speed, aren't they kind of driving directly into a strengthening hurricane? Only boat in the area.

Any marine experts out there able to see how much of a gamble they're taking?

That was 12 hours ago?

I’d say that’s probably a definite at this point. 8pm advisory had 965 but it’s down to 962 currently. When does NHC start updates every hour like at what lead time?

It's usually whenever circulation is in good view of the radar, like it is now. I'm sort of surprised they haven't begun those kind of updates.

I was told once that sometimes it take a little bit of time for the winds to catch up with a rapidly deepening storm. Not a real long time, but a couple of hours at most.

I think it’s also embedded in an area of overall anonymously lower pressure.

Intensification rate reminds me a bit of Ida. Ida was sluggish, only gradually intensifying until the evening then really started to ramp up. It quickly blew up to high-end category 4 status in only a few hours. That is why I am not ruling out a similar intensification rate given we still have about 12 hours remaining.
