Hurricane Melissa

Really hope they make it for peak intensity. As an EWRC seems inevitable early morning if not sooner.

It’s very like to be at category 5 intensity right now and if it isn't. Then I guess the satellite imagery is deceiving.

I hope the westward trend continues.

This is a little bit of a tangent, but this video is a good example of how 30 inches of rain can destroy infrastructure, even if well-prepared for.

CSB is one of my favorite channels on YouTube. A real gem.

It is very unusual to watch one just basically sit in one place at this strength. A testament to the depth of the heat content in the area - upwelling just brings up more heat from the depths.

I didn't’t know eye wall mergers were a thing,

Melissa is doing this? Well...yeah. Cat 5 is unavoidable if there’s still no imminent EWRC

 

[tornado examiner]

Also the eye size appears to have stabilized and is not visibly shrinking anymore.

Eye wall merger is definitely what is happening and is going smoothly. This thing is not done strengthening yet I fully suspect an upgrade to category 5 with the new recon data.

Almost there...

Based on looks alone I'd say she's a cat 5 right now, let's see if the data supports this

Recon is in the storm again.

Just turned east towards the eye. Gonna be in the eyewall within 15 mintues.

It really doesn't get more structurally well-defined than this. True upper-echelon cyclonic morphology going on with Melissa right now.

Over the next few hours, we are about to witness a truly historic storm. This is simply upper echelon. I've been tracking weather two years just, but everything spells to this being remembered for a long WHILE.

Looks like a super typhoon from the Pacific.

No EWRC in the near future. Completed eye wall merger cycle. The western side is about to start recovering after a bit of sheer. And cat 5 intensity is likely gonna be identified in the next advisory.
