Hilary A Category 4 Hurricane


Hurricane Hilary was upgraded to a Cat 4 hurricane yesterday afternoon. Satellite images at 1415 UTC this morning are shown - visible above and IR below. The storm is very impressive and appears to an annular hurricane - I think the third of the eastern Pacific season. Widespread convection continues to the west of Hilary but to this time does not appear to be affecting the hurricane. The forecast tracks are trending toward the north with time - so definitely a storm to keep an eye on.
