Answer 1

To determine which state would most likely NOT be under a hurricane warning in the hours leading up to landfall, it's important to consider the typical trajectory of hurricanes and the regions usually affected.

Generally, when a hurricane makes landfall, it impacts coastal states that are in the path of the storm. If the map you're referring to shows a predicted path towards a specific area, states further away from this path are less likely to be under warnings.

Based on common hurricane paths, if the predicted landfall is toward a certain state (let's assume it's predicted to come ashore more towards Louisiana or Mississippi), Texas might still be further away and thus not under warning, especially if it’s upwind of the storm.

Without seeing the specific map, if the states in question are Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida, and the path is mostly toward Louisiana and Mississippi, Texas would most likely NOT be under a hurricane warning.

Therefore, the answer would be:
**A Texas (TX)**.
