A BLOG ABOUT SOUTHWESTERN WEATHER, Welcome to the MadWeather Blog! We have two basic rules for this blog:
WEATHER FORECASTING & OBSERVING, AND OTHER RELATED TOPICS
(1) Debate and discussion should be civil.
(2) Because public discussion, regardless of the topic,
is not very effective if we don't know who is talking to whom,
MadWeather does not accept anonymous posts.

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.
