But Nate was expected to regain some strength and make a second landfall along the coast of Mississippi to the east. The hurricane's centre was expected to pass over portions of Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee late Saturday through Sunday night, eventually weakening to a tropical depression. The center of Hurricane Nate was expected to make landfall on the Mississippi Coast by midnight on Saturday and weaken significantly, the NHC said. Some 5,000 people in southern Alabama were without power due to Nate, Alabama Power said. Before heading north into the Gulf, Nate brushed Mexico's Yucatan peninsula, home to beach resorts such as Cancun and Playa del Carmen, the NHC said.
