NEW: #Francine already has an eye, and may soon undergo swift or rapid intensification.

We can see the eye using the Brownsville radar:

New: there is a 50% chance that #Francine reaches Category 2 or 3 status per an assortment of weather models.

If Francine trends farther east, it will have longer over water and come ashore stronger.

There is an increasing chance of greater impacts and surge.

Very impressive convective burst (flareup of thunderstorms) with our soon-to-be-#Francine.

That upward motion from the thunderstorms is going to vertically stretch a pocket of spin that the Hurricane Hunters found. That's the first sign to swifter strengthening.

The core of Typhoon #Yagi passed over Haikou 4 hours ago, home to 3 million people, at Category 4 strength. It’s now centered over the Qiangzhou Strait.

Great Lakes waterspouts

A pocket of frigid air, low pressure and spin moving over the warm waters of the Great Lakes will lead to the formation of waterspouts. Waterspouts will be dangerous to mariners, but may also be visible from the lakeshores. MyRadar meteorologist Matthew Cappucci has an update.

This is "Invest 90L" over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. It's still giving some heavy rains to coastal Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida.

It has a low-end chance of development... OR could merge with another weak low pressure system near the Bay of Campeche. We're monitoring:

Follow along for more updates on bad weather games in the NFL this season!

HAMSTER NOTE: Our Meteorology team's Executive Producer is a BIG football fan, if you were wondering.

With the O/U set at 46.5 points for tonight’s Chiefs-Ravens game, the weather could be the game-changer. Will gusty winds and potential rain push the score under? Or will fair weather prevail and both offenses light up the scoreboard?

Historically, heavy rain has decreased total points scored in NFL games by 6 points, while also reducing the point spread by 1.5 points.

Lighter rain decreases scoring by 2 points and the point spread by 0.5 points.
