Not many people will see this, but if you're ever feeling down, just remember that you tried and you're still here today. You're still here after all your worst days, stronger than ever.

If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you (^-^)/

I love you <3

Heading into October, the Atlantic has produced the same amount of ACE so far this year as Hurricane Isaias, 2020:

Polo, by all indications right now, is about to make a powerful landfall in a rare location for Major Hurricanes in Mexico.

As he gets closer to this dust-swept desert peninsula and swims through even warmer waters, an icy thunderstorm updraft has started to erupt in the N eyewall quadrant, spiking to temps of -126 F (-88 C).

This persistence of very cold and uniform convection is not only increasingly the likelihood of Major Hurricane-force winds translating to the surface, but it’s also likely to exacerbate rainfall rates.

Since records began, only one Major Hurricane has hit Mexico’s Pacific coast at a more northerly latitude than where Polo is set to land. That was Hurricane Olivia in 1967, and she hit Baja California Sur from the Sea of Cortez (rather than from the open ocean like this).

Through the weekend, Hurricane Polo moved northward along the southwestern coast of Mexico.

The storm is expected to make landfall on the west coast of the Baja California Peninsula this evening.

4 Years ago, I woke up to what, honestly, remains one of the most terrifying radar images I've ever seen. Little did I know, one hurricane was about to change my my outlook on tropical meteorology, and my passion for this gorgeous stretch of coastline I call home, forever. #HurricaneIan

Do you think Hurricane Nolo reached CATEGORY 5 intensity overnight?

@iJailbreak10 @LuftkoppTim Image 1 is a typo, grow a pair of balls and admit you’re bitching just to bitch.

Image 2-4 were leaks, so obviously nothing was 100% confirmed. Quit embarrassing yourself 🥀

Hurricane Juan made landfall in Nova Scotia as a Category 2. The storm was the worst tropical cyclone to impact Atlantic Canada in over a century. Juan knocked out power to 300,00 residents, caused $200 million in damage, and killed eight people.

Southwest of the Hawaiian islands, moonlight illuminates Hurricane Nolo. Captured earlier this morning by NOAA-20 VIIRS.

[Backpirch Weather @BackpirchCrew]

The Hurricane Hunters have confirmed that Hurricane Polo is STILL a Category 3 Major Hurricane, with winds of 115 MPH (185 kph) and a core pressure of 964 mbar.

Conditions are now deteriorating over Baja California Sur as Polo’s life-threatening winds and rainfall are set to begin soon. Flash flooding from 6-12 IN of rain (especially in areas of steep desert terrain) and coastal storm surge across arid beaches to the south of the eye is expected.

Just another day in the Pacific and another system (4th) attempting Cat 5 status! #Nolo

NHC says temps of 21C within the 30-mile diameter eye while the surrounding ring of convection has likely cooled below -85C!

September 28, 2022:

Hurricane Ian reached Category 5 intensity in the Gulf of Mexico before making a catastrophic landfall in Florida as a high-end Category 4 during the afternoon. The storm killed 150 people and produced around $110 billion in damage in the state.

The explosive transformation of Hurricane Nolo to the south of Hawaii.

From a struggling, misshapen CAT 1 storm to an annular, CAT 4 monster in less than 30 hours.

With winds now at 155 MPH, a 929 MBAR eye that’s warmer and drier than ever (-16.9 C), and a superchilling doughnut ring of convection, Nolo is on the absolute precipice of Category 5 status. A potentially historic upgrade from the NHC is imminent.

41 years ago today, Hurricane Gloria made landfall on Long Island. This would be the most recent landfalling hurricane in New York. (And before people come at me, Sandy wasn't a hurricane at landfall and didn't make landfall in New York).

[Tomer Burg @burgwx]

Hurricane Nolo’s structure has remarkably improved this evening — at this rate it may very well become the record-breaking 4th category 5 hurricane of the East/Central Pacific season.

[Backpirch Weather @BackpirchCrew]

This could be one of the most hyperactive Pacific Hurricane Seasons we ever see in our lifetimes.

Only FIVE DAYS after Hurricane Polo exploded to a historic 180 MPH, 892 MBAR peak intensity, Hurricane Nolo is now potentially just moments away from clinching CAT 5 status herself.

We’ve already had three CAT 5 Pacific Hurricanes this year. No season in the satellite era has ever had four. And it’s not even October yet.

[MyRadar Weather @MyRadarWX]

Hurricane Nolo is now a Category 4, and is making a run at Category 5 strength. (This is the one southwest of Hawaii – NOT the one offshore of Mexico heading for the Baja).

Its center is 380 miles south-southwest of Honolulu; the storm had 145 mph winds as of Sunday evening local time.

It's an annular cyclone, meaning it's made of one solid ring of thunderstorms, rather than spiral bands. Annular cyclones typically strengthen more easily due to their symmetry; they also weaken slower, made hardier by their solid ring of storminess.

The National Hurricane Center is explicitly forecasting Nolo to become a Category 5 on Monday morning – the fourth of the 2026 central/eastern Pacific hurricane season. That would mark a new record.
