Hurricane Rafael's evolution over the last week: - Rapid intensification in the Caribbean - Eyewall replacement cycle right before Cuba landfall - Re-intensification to a rare November major hurricane in the Gulf - Rapid collapse due to westerly shear & dry air

I'm extremely concerned that Melissa is undergoing rapid intensification – or I suppose rapid reintensification – again as it approaches Cuba. The core/eye have RAPIDLY reorganized and the EEL – Enveloped Eyewall Lightning – signature has re-appeared. Cat-4 impact possible!

Live emergency update on now Tropical Depression Nine which is forecast to strengthen into Hurricane Isaias, and threaten the central Gulf Coast Region October 9-10. Some forecast models show rapid intensification in the Gulf on approach to southeastern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama or the Florida Panhandle. This is a live meteorological breakdown. Team #Dominator is mobilizing a science team to chase this hurricane.

🌀 Wednesday video update on Hurricane #Rafael, now a Category 2 hurricane and strengthening as it approaches western #Cuba. Once in the Gulf of Mexico, Rafael's future remains more uncertain than usual due to complex steering currents.

Right now in 2005, a seemingly timid Tropical Storm Katrina suddenly strengthened into a Category 1 Hurricane as she made landfall through downtown Miami, Florida. But instead of weakening from this land interaction, Katrina’s subsequent track over the wetlands of the Everglades allowed her core to remain almost completely intact by the time she reached the Gulf. Within hours of the storm swimming in pure seawater once again, one of the most consequential rapid intensification phases in American meteorological history immediately commenced.

UPDATE: Storm surge has already begun 10-12 hours before landfall of Hurricane Helene across the Florida Big Bend region. Concerns this morning are coastal flooding, flash flooding, and a #tornado threat. We will be going live this afternoon for intercept. Pressure down to 960 mb with rapid intensification

“Hurricane hunters” flew through the eye of Hurricane Polo The video shows the crew passing through the area of the strongest winds and reaching the calm central part of the storm. The “hurricane hunters” were collecting data to improve forecasts and study the rapid intensification of hurricanes. The maximum sustained wind speed in Polo reached about 250 km/h. The hurricane temporarily reached Category 5 strength before later weakening to Category 4. The storm brought strong waves and torrential rain to southwestern Mexico. According to forecasts, it was expected to make landfall in the Baja California Peninsula area on the night of September 27–28.

🚨#BREAKING Major HURRICANE Landfall on 9/11 Near Texas & Louisiana!? (Please Share!) As of today hurricane charts put a Major CAT 3 Hurricane(Francine) just MILES off the coast of Louisiana on September 11th as a Cat 3 with 953mb We still have 3 1/2 days for any changes to happen but based on the "bath water" of the gulf this storm is expected to go through "Rapid Intensification" as it approached the western coast of Texas and LA! NHC models have Texas & Louisiana in the "Cone Of Uncertainty" between now and September 12th! IF this stays as is we can expect anywhere form 6-12 feet of storm surge in these areas of Texas & Louisiana. HAVE A PLAN! It's better to be safe than sorry when dealing with storms with this potential size! #Hurricane #Francine
