BREAKING: ECMWF Bombs TD-NINE Into Major Hurricane in Gulf of Mexico

The fresh-off-the-presses 12z ECMWF has shown a Category 3 major hurricane swirling in the Gulf of Mexico, with a central pressure of 961 millibars- and it's still offshore.
This comes as the models begin to split up on a solution. Now that the ECMWF is sending a major hurricane into the Gulf of Mexico, time will only tell how the next model suite reacts to this news.
