That infrared image is impressive. The SST's probably wouldn't support a major hurricane for much further north though.

T numbers of 6.0? Wow. Wouldn't be surprised to see this stronger than 85 knots by the next update. But I think they'll keep it around 80-85 knots.

A jump from 80 mph to at least 115 mph would be quite rare. Maybe a Category 2 but probably not a Category 3 as yet.

It looks almost like a major hurricane already! I think it'll be a Category 2 (or at least a strong 90 mph C1) on the next advisory. :ggreen:

Hurricanes are an amazing natural phenomena. While many are spiraling pits of evil that kill people or cause devastation, some are tame and stay clear of land.

I wish for you to :Bcool:

I was trying to figure out why the pages were loading so slowly. Then I checked the file sizes of the animations in your signature.

Even 90 mph is conservative in my opinion. I don't think it's often you get a Category 1 hurricane with a well-defined eye on IR imagery and a perfect ring of cold cloudtops surrounding the eye.

Disagreed, given the warm oceanic heat content and above average SST's.

I'd go with 85 knts. I think it could possibly be a major early tomorrow.

yeah cat2

Best Track Position and Intensity as of:
Sunday, May 25, 2014 0:00 Z

Location at the time:
787 statue miles (1,267 km) to the S (183°) from Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, México.

Wind (1 min. avg.):
85 knots (~98 mph | 44 m/s | 157 km/h)

However looking at the micro wave above JTWC intensity looks more realistic atm

I'm thinking they will go 90 or 95 kt at the advisory.
