Yes, it is. Look at the vertical category list along the RHS and Wind Gusts is the chosen (underlined) category for the shown map. Your link text even spells it out “…Otis?gust…”
There's a lot of info on that page. If you look at the moving circle it has (had ) a number on it as a category.
That is all I am saying. Whether or not they are using high altititude wind gusts to determine the Cat #, or not, I have no clue. That site is naming the Cat of the storm on the animated dot.
Ah, I see what you’re pointing out - that little rotary blade symbol shoved between a 60mph and 70mph tracking point over a twenty-six hour period. Thanks for being tenacious and I know you’re just pointing out what the site is claiming. Apparently we’re supposed to believe that the tropical storm spun up into a cat5 and wound all the way back down - for no apparent reason (eg- super hot water temp which causes an increase in ferocity of hurricanes) whatsoever - just like magic. All the fearful “clymate change” acolytes will get a thrill from the latest fear porn.
Exactly... it went from a 1 to a 5 on their tracking in less than 24 hours. I'm not even sure that's possible in nature, but I am not a weather expert. That just seems highly unlikely. I am curious to see if there are Anons in Acapulco who can verify or not.
