Wider view of Categorie 5-Hurricane #Melissa in the Caribbean. Note the very cold cloud top ring with temps below -80°C of the CDO. Central pressure is around 900 hPa, one of the lowest in Atlantic bassin ever recorded.

Stunning view of Hurricane #Melissa right now. Note the warm eye surrounded by -80°C cold clouds of the eye wall. This is an indicator of a very strong secondary circulation, leading to further intensification. Note the delta T betwenn the SST and the tropopause is over 100°.

Wow, Hurricane #Melissa nears stadium effect. Please not that the Cloud Top Temps are really cold for an Atlantic Bassin Storm with wide areas below -80°C. This system is approaching Category 5 intensity right now, imho.

Hinter der Kaltfront von Tief #Detlef (int. #StormAmy) haben sich in der höhenkalten Luft viele Schauer und ein paar #Gewitter gebildet. In deren Umgebung können Sturmböen, in Küstennähe auch schwere Sturmböen auftreten.
Nice mesoscale convection behind the cold front.

Beautiful #StormAmy with the core near the Shetland Island with the pressure below 950 hPa. The cold front reached Germany and France already. Note the remnants of #IMELDA on the left side.

Larger View on #StormAMY to the northwest of the Britisch Isles. A #Stingjet might be in the making, however a definded Dry Intrusion is in the right place to help the rapid deepening low (rapid cyclogenesis). First gusts over 120 kph has been observerd in western Ireland

The developing extratropical low #AMY #stormamy will possibly develope into a Shapiro-Keyser Cyclone with a risk of a Sting Jet. This might happen over the ocean, still gusts over 140 km/h are likely in northern Ireland and Scotland.

A complex synoptic situation is in place over the western North Atlatic. The decaying tropical cyclone #HUMBERTO will lead to a highly baroclinic zone and henceforth a new extratropical low #StormAMY will develope and finally absorb the remnant low. Charts by wxcharts.

Lots of lightnings in the eye of CAT 5 Storm #Humberto. That is a signal of intense convection, henceforth the system is still strengthening.

A textbook animation of #Humberto's structure. A very well defined eye and multiple spiral band. This is nearing Cat 5 strength right now. Source: tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/real-time/mi...

Another beautiful animation of rapidly intensifiying Hurricane #Humberto right now. I think a recon mission by the Hurricne Hunters would bring light into the real intensity right now. Besides this no doubt that further intensification can be anticipated.

Der Typhoon #Ragasa im Westpazifik vor der Küste der Phillipinen. Was für ein prächtiger Sturm, noch ein paar Stunden und er erreicht wahrscheinlcih die höchste Kategorie 5 auf der Saffir-Simpson Skala. Quelle: www.tropicaltidbits.com/storminfo/#24W

Sehr schönes Tief namens #ZACK vor der Küste Irlands derzeit. Morgen dann an der deutschen Nordseeküste erster Herbststurm des Jahres mit Böen um 100 km/h. #Sturm
