Hurricane Paloma now a dangerous Category 4 hurricane, after a rapid intensification cycle as it heads towards Cuba, after battering the Cayman Islands a powerful Cat. 3.

It should run into heavy wind shear soon, likely right before hitting Cuba and this will/should weaken it some. But when storms get this strong...they are less likely to be affected by shear as dramatically.

After hitting Cuba...it is expected to quickly lose strength and dissapate in the mid Atlantic.
