Lauren 4,250 Posted June 11, 2018 Intensifying quite quickly. Due to be a TS once it hits Baja but still could be quite nasty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 4,250 Posted June 11, 2018 Is that a very tight eye or is it missing one altogether? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Despicable Weather 77 Posted June 11, 2018 At 9:14 a.m. EDT (1314 UTC) on June 11, NOAA's GOES-West satellite captured an infrared image of Bud. The image showed a well-formed storm with powerful thunderstorms tightly circling the center. However, the image also showed the eye was obscured by high clouds. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2018/bud-eastern-pacific That's the NASA report from earlier so is an interesting answer for Buds eye looking a bit strange. I don't remember seeing that visual or hearing of higher cloud obscuring before so that's a new one for me, good to know though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

knocker 43,308 Posted June 12, 2018 Hurricane Bud peaked overnight when the eye was warmest & convective cloud tops the coldest. The intensity will come down from 115 knots (Cat 4) quickly as the storm heads over cooler water https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/sat/satlooper.php?region=03E&product=vis-swir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
