ORIGINAL UPDATE — October 7, 2020

Hurricane Delta has strengthened to a Category 2 hurricane since it became a tropical depression on Sunday evening, the fastest intensification on record for the Atlantic Basin. The storm has made landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula and will reach the Gulf of Mexico by the week’s end. Experts expect the storm to continue to intensify before making landfall on the Gulf Coast by Friday, including winds of up to 120 mph, dangerous storm surges and heavy rain. Delta is likely to make landfall along the coast of Louisiana, though it is possible that the path may deviate slightly.
