Hurricane Erin has been driven into a ferocious feeding frenzy by the heat energy of the SW Atlantic. Rarely do you see a storm outside of the West Pacific undergo such extreme RI as this. In 24 hours, her winds have more than DOUBLED, from 70 mph to 145 MPH, and her core pressure has plunged from 998 mbar to 935 MBAR. This is an exceptionally rapid rate of deepening for an open Atlantic Hurricane. Erin’s pressure continues to plummet by 6-8 mbar per hour based on Hurricane Hunter recon data, and she is now knocking on the door of Category 5 status.

BREAKING: Category 5 Hurricane Melissa’s sustained winds are now roaring at 175 MPH, and the air pressure in her searing eye has sunk to 906 MBAR. The storm is starting to take the northern turn towards Jamaica, and if she intensifies any further, she will begin to approach the mathematical limits of how strong a storm can become in this part of the world.

Hurricane Genevieve is now a cartwheeling Category 4 storm, with her sustained winds increasing to 140 MPH. Her 947 MBAR eye is as dry as the late July sun, with mesovortices rippling through an expansive Stadium Effect. Textbook aesthetic for a Major Pacific Hurricane.

UPDATE: With only a few hours left before landfall in Luzon, colossal Typhoon Fung-wong (UwanPH) has hit a new peak intensity. Her sustained winds are now at 130 MPH (210 kph), and the sea-level pressure in her giant eye has fallen to 943 mbar, making her a CATEGORY 4 storm. This will be the strongest Typhoon to hit the Philippines since Man-yi (Pepito) in November of last year, and is coming just 5 days after Kalmaegi (Tino) ravaged Cebu Island.

In the blink of an eye, Pacific Hurricane Genevieve has wildly exceeded her forecast from last night. Originally anticipated to hit a brief Category 3 peak, Genevieve’s winds have suddenly exploded in the last 24 hours, doubling from 60 MPH to 120 MPH. A 150 MPH, near-Category 5 maximum intensity is now predicted by the NHC; and if that verifies, then Genevieve is without a doubt on the verge of becoming a visually spectacular fish storm.

🇯🇵 LANDFALL: With sustained winds of 100 mph (160 kph), a central pressure of 951 mbar, and a questionably dilapidated inner core structure, Category 2 Typhoon Bavi appears to have made landfall over Japan’s Tarama Island as one of the largest Typhoons of the 21st Century. To the east of the eye, the island of Miyako-jima is currently enduring the storm’s most intense quadrant of howling winds and rain.
