I was worried for my crew mates when I saw them circling in the eye for over 20 mins. Looks like the very rough ride was confirmed. Plane had to leave early. They reported svr turb and a "sawtooth" eye. Looks like they moved 600-700ft up & down during this stretch in ~1 min.

The last hurricane hunter flights into Melissa have departed before its landfall in Jamaica.
As always kudos to them for their work powering through especially powerful storms like this to collect invaluable data.

And with the 15z advisories -- #Hurricane #Imdelda & #Humberto are just 479 miles apart.
This might be the closest two simultaneous hurricanes have ever been in the Atlantic basin in the satellite era (since ~1975).
Close enough for their outer sfc circulations to interact as well.

Yesterday was the wettest day in quite some time for northeastern Colorado. Widespread observations of over 1" of rain, and over 2" in some spots on the Plains.
Several inches of snow in the mountains too!

NEW: The highest level of drought, D4/exceptional, is now in place for the Western Slope + Flat Tops.
This is the first 'exceptional' drought anywhere in Colorado in over 2 years (May 2023).
Also highest % of exceptional drought in over 4 years (July 2021).
