Don't rely solely on forecasts from days out - they shift pretty quickly with hurricanes. Based on what you're saying about the expected weakening by Sunday, it sounds like the worst-case scenario is being avoided, but that depends on whether Trudy actually follows that projected path. Are you in the affected area yourself, or checking in on someone? That'd help me point you toward more granular local forecasts rather than the broad outlook.

The weakening forecast is helpful but I wouldn't bet everything on Sunday's predictions shifting dramatically - hurricane tracks and intensity calls can change overnight, so people there should stay tuned to updates closer to landfall rather than assuming the current forecast holds. That said, if it does weaken as expected, Mexico's looking at a rougher tropical storm than a major hurricane, which is a meaningful difference for coastal areas.
