Lo que presenta la imagen de satélite infrarroja es la temperatura increíblemente fría del tope de las nubes del huracán #Melissa que alcanzan -80ºc ya que se elevan hasta 52mil pies de altura. Los aviones comerciales vuelan arriba de 30mil pies a temperaturas de -40ºc.
Really interesting morning mission in #Melissa. The storm had somewhat surprisingly leveled off after overnight rapid intensification, but of course it's still a powerful Category 4 with a couple more days before landfall. We'll see if it resumes intensification or if ERCs+a bit of shear cause it to stay steady. Could see the stadium effect though the eye was cloudy in spots. Definitely not something to take lightly in Jamaica, Eastern Cuba, and the Bahamas as it turns NE this week.
