now clearing out a pinhole eye

Everyone’s eyes are on Isaias, and rightfully so for a mostly US-dominated forum, but this has the look of those types of storms that go straight to C4+ in under 24 hours right now. I think this’ll be a 5.

i notice a lot of rapidly intensifying pacific hurricanes with winds of 150+ mph cat 4 or cat 5 happen on October 10-25 that then to do a right turn and then hit land for some reason, along with the fact they don't tend to be very long lived.

examples are (Hurricane Kenna, Hurricane Rick 2009, Hurricane Patricia, Hurricane Willa, Hurricane Otis)

wondering if its going to become one of them.

I made a similar observation earlier this year. It’s usually accompanied by extreme RI as well and located in this confined corridor, and there’s a somewhat apparent correlation with it during El Niño years in particular. John (2024) is another good example in my mind.

I’m talking more so about the extreme RI in that region over the right turn, but I forgot it was September not October, so fair enough.

HWRF has Simon curving back out to sea just before it reaches shore.

That ain’t a good thing, but it could mean an even stronger storm

The NHC will have their hands full this weekend with both Simon and Isaias.

But it wouldn't hit land, especially if it stays south of Baja like the latest run shows.

Most models show a curve, but after landfall and the storm falls apart.
