A Hurricane Hunters engineer captured video from inside Hurricane Helene's eye Wednesday after it formed along the Gulf of Mexico.
Annular hurricanes have been simulated that have gone through the life cycle of an eyewall replacement. The simulations show that the major rainbands will grow such that the arms will overlap, and then it spirals into itself to form a concentric eyewall. The inner eyewall dissipates, leaving a hurricane with a singular large eye with no rainbands.
Hurricane Ian was a prolific lightning producer as it strengthened into a Category 5 hurricane on its approach to Florida. Storm chasers along the coast of Florida even witnessed cloud-to-ground ...
This project set out to seed clouds outside the eyewall, causing a new eyewall to form and weakening the storm. When it was discovered that this was a natural process due to hurricane dynamics, the project was quickly abandoned. [8] Research shows that 53 percent of intense hurricanes undergo at least one of these cycles during its existence. [15]
A storm surge watch would be issued when a life-threatening storm surge, associated with a potential or ongoing tropical, subtropical or post-tropical cyclone, is possible within the next 48 hours. These watches would be upgraded to storm surge warnings when there is a danger of life-threatening storm surge occurring within 36 hours.
Storm surge: A storm surge is a rise in ocean water levels generated by a storm that is over and above a normal tide. You can estimate a storm surge by subtracting the normal tide from the storm tide.
That system, if it strengthens to a named storm, would likely be called Tropical Storm Kirk. An area of low pressure could form over the western Caribbean Sea by the middle of next week. Hurricane ...
A mesovortex is a small-scale rotational feature found in a convective storm, such as a quasi-linear convective system (QLCS, i.e. squall line), a supercell, or the eyewall of a tropical cyclone. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Mesovortices range in diameter from tens of miles to a mile or less [ 3 ] and can be immensely intense.
