Complete satellite loop of the closest Fujiwhara Effect between two Atlantic Hurricanes ever recorded in the satellite era. The only other known Hurricane couple that was closer than Humberto and Imelda this year was a pair of storms in 1853.

Fujiwhara?? When two hurricanes interact, they can sometimes pivot around one another. Next week there will likely be 2 tropical cyclones (perhaps 2 hurricanes) offshore. If they are strong enough, and are close enough, a #Fujiwhara may happen. Here’s how it works. Between the 2 storms is a pivot point (sort of like a fulcrum on a seesaw), it happens to be near where the sinking/ driest air is. If conditions are right we may see them pivot, or if one’s stronger (Bermuda hurricane) its force will sling shot the weaker one around it. Still not clear to what degree the Fujiwhara effect will be in effect, but it ought to be interesting! BTW Sakuhei Fujiwhara was the Japanese meteorologist who first observed the phenomenon. #hurricane WFLA NEWS #Humberto #Imelda

Satellite presentations rarely get more extreme than this. The torrid, pinhole eye of Category 5 Hurricane Erin is a crystal clear window to the ocean’s seething surface. She is one of the strongest Hurricanes to ever prowl this region of the Atlantic Basin.

1 year ago today, Hurricane Beryl clinched her title as the earliest forming Category 5 Atlantic Hurricane in recorded history, surpassing Hurricane Emily (2005) by more than two weeks. Never before, as far back as reliable meteorological records go, had we documented a storm of her strength so early in the year. With winds of 165 MPH and a pressure of 932 mbar, she was the most furious July Tempest we have ever witnessed in the Atlantic Basin. (Sat-image credit: CIMSS)

A bridge in the parish of St. Catherine, Jamaica was swallowed by a swollen river on Tuesday as the eye of Hurricane Melissa closed in on the western coast of the country. According to See Jamaica, the channel that live streamed this footage, the bridge is a "vital link between Spanish Town and Linstead." Hurricane Melissa has since made landfall in Jamaica as a Category 5 storm. It is the most powerful hurricane to lash the island since record-keeping began 174 years ago and one of the strongest Atlantic storms ever recorded.

Hurricane season starts today. Here’s why we expect it to be a quieter than normal year in the Atlantic. The relatively hotter East Pacific due to a Super El Niño overpowers the near waters of the Atlantic. Rising air, thunderstorms and hurricanes in the East Pacific should subdue the Caribbean with sinking air, wind shear, and less storms. But less storms does not equal no storms. So be prepared as usual. #hurricaneseason #hurricane #science #stem #florida

One of the most surreal infrared satellite loops ever captured. 5 years ago today: Hurricane Dorian’s infamous stall. It impacted a single land area as a CAT 5 for the longest duration recorded in the Atlantic. Parts of Great Abaco & Grand Bahama were in the eyewall for 22 HOURS!

This is arguably one of the most complex steering scenarios in recent memory!! Two hurricanes(?), a stalled cut-off upper low, and a deep Greenland cold pool diving south. How all these factors interact with each other is driving the models (and meteorologists lol) up the wall!! Will soon to be #Imelda be pulled into the Carolina coast by the cut-off low as many solutions show? Or will #Hurricane #Humberto drag Imelda gradually out to sea, as Humberto gets dragged north by the large Greenland jet stream trough? Only time will tell, but folks from FL’s northeast coast to the Carolina’s especially should stay weather aware. More obviously Imelda will impact the Bahamas this weekend-early next week and Bermuda needs to watch #Humberto. In all this, a #Fujiwhara pivot is possible! WFLA NEWS

What we’re seeing right now could be historic. If Hurricane Humberto is upgraded to a CATEGORY 5, it would mark two consecutive years with multiple Cat 5s in the Atlantic. That hasn’t happened since the Great Depression. Every satellite frame is more intense than the last. The 145 MPH eyewall is only getting more deeply submerged in a whirling ice bath of convection.

Hurricane tip: In anticipation of Cat 5 Atlantic hurricane Milton that is barreling towards Florida, we advise anyone with an iPhone to upgrade to iOS 18 asap so that you can use Satellite Messaging, to avoid any cell phone messaging disruptions. The feature is located in Settings - Apps - Messages - Satellite

Hurricane Melissa, at the moment that she possibly became the strongest Atlantic Hurricane in recorded history, may have had the most extreme detonation of lightning activity ever observed in a storm in this part of the world. Nearly 700 flashes every 60 seconds. What on Earth.

Major Hurricane #Humberto has reached Category 5 today! ⚠️ Off the coast of Florida, the future Hurricane #Imelda is now forming. However, the powerful Hurricane Humberto is expected to alter its path and deflect it over the Atlantic, so it is still not anticipated to reach the shoreline. 🙏 This rather unique development is captured in the wind animation for the next four days:

WOW! What a storm on visible satellite from GOES-17. Pressure nearing 970mb equivalent of a Category 2 hurricane. This storm is thousands of miles wide. Will produce the severe storms tonight in the PNW. A meteorological marvel from space. A perfect Fibonacci spiral.

🚨#BREAKING: Large Boeing Satellite Suddenly Explodes Into Pieces as the company calls a total loss. 📌#Outerspace l #Space A Boeing satellite belonging to multinational service provider Intelsat mysteriously broke apart in geostationary orbit over the weekend. According to an official update, an ‘anomaly’ caused the satellite, known as IS-33e, to be destroyed, resulting in what the company calls a ‘total loss.’ The exact cause of the breakup remains unclear. The U.S. Space Force announced it is tracking around 20 pieces of debris but noted no immediate threats. The satellite, which weighed 14,600 pounds and was roughly the size of a minivan, was designed and manufactured by Boeing Space Systems and launched in 2016. It provided broadband services, including internet and phone communications, to parts of Europe, Africa, and most of Asia

You thought the sky was the limit? Wingbits is going to space 🚀 thanks to a strategic partnership with Spire, leader in space-based data and operator of the largest multipurpose satellite constellation. 🛰️ Together we’re launching a new satellite that will act as a validator of Wingbits’ ground data, increasing the security and reliability of our global flight tracking network. The satellite is scheduled for launch on the SpaceX Transporter-13 mission.
