Hurricane Amanda Rapidly Intensifying


Amanda has become the first hurricane of the 2014 season, in the eastern Pacific, this morning and is rapidly intensifying - current position shown above and current forecast below. Note that NHC now forecasts Amanda to quickly become a Category 3 hurricane.



Visible image above shows Amanda at 7 am MST this morning. several of the GFS ensemble members are forecasting moisture from Amanda after 6 days or so - below is one of the GFS ensemble forecasts from 06 UTC last night that is forecasting a substantial influx of moisture into Arizona at 132 hours. Something to watch closely during the next few days.
