What do ya’ll think, Cat 6 in the Gulf of Mexico later this year, next year, or 2 years out?
For context, yes Cat 6 is not yet a real thing but it has been proposed as basically 192+ mph winds.

I want to say next year, but everything predicted is happening faster than expected. A Cat 5 this early in the season does not bode well.
A cat 5 right now could mean a cat 6 when we hit peak season. Hopefully we don’t see it but we could lose some southern towns.
Definitely not this year, because the definitions people will still be working through the stages of grief.
192+ mph is a good possibility, though.
I’m pretty sure Hurricane Patricia was cat 6 when it was in the pacific of the west coast of Mexico back in like 2015
