Okay time to watch Kristy become an eye candy major hurricane fish storm

I have updated the Original Post of this thread to include every basin's tropical cyclone names.

The color corralate to the maximum intensity reached by a storm during its' lifetime.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"White" = Active storm with color TBD or unused name
"Blue" = Tropical Depression
"Green" = Tropical Storm or the equivent rank
"Light yellow" = Cat 1 or equivent rank
"Light orange" = Cat 2 or equivent rank
"Darker orange" = Cat 3 Major or equivent rank
"Red" = Cat 4 Major or equivent rank
"Purple" = Cat 5 Major or equivent rank

Kristy is either rapidly forming an eye or having dry air ingested. rapid intensification may start soon.

We now have hurricane Kristy.

Interesting system that could form in the far Northern EPAC, outside the GTWO range I think.

To note above: The system is currently attached to a front.

Easily about to top Gilma in intensity.

 

[Atlantic]

As expected, Hurricane Kristy has topped Hurricane Gilma in intensity. ATCF is now saying 130 kts \ 932 mbs, but due to what appears to continuing organization, I won't be shocked to see 135 kts or 140 kts by the 5 PM EST\ 2 PM PST advisory.

This is about as textbook as it gets

 

[TornadoFan]

Kristy is now a Category 4 with 155 mph winds.

Kristy is what Oscar could have done had it not gone into Cuba. Like Oscar, Kristy is a small storm too.

Except Kristy probably won’t hit category 5 intensity at all now due to an imminent EWRC.

 

[Atlantic]

Kristy and Nadine are the same storm!


So Hurricane Kristy should really be Hurricane Nadine!

Reminds me of TC Gamane from March this year. It had the potential to become a Cat 5-equivent storm, but it went W into Madgascar and was destroyed.

Whoops, wrong post to reply to.

If anyone has access to an ASCAT pass for this, can you show it please? It does look like it is trying to seperate from the front north of it and the center does have convection.
