TROPICS UPDATE: Another potential hurricane threat to Hawaii. Fierce Hurricane #Polo threatens significant flooding in higher elevations near the Mexican coast. In the Atlantic, a long-duration, early-season nor'easter is forecast to impact the Northeast into next week. More at HurricaneIntel.com

Hurricane Polo intensified in the Pacific off the southwestern #Mexico coast, growing into a Category 5 #storm before weakening slightly to a Category 4.

Here's the latest on its path.

Here's a Wednesday morning update on the preliminary, ongoing intensity verification statistics for Hurricane #Polo in the East Pacific. *These will change* as time goes by and more samples enter the verification.
No model, nor the NHC, has beaten NHC's own average errors at any lead time.

El huracán Polo avanza lentamente frente al Pacífico mexicano como categoría 4, con vientos de 240 km/h. Hay aviso de tormenta tropical y riesgo de lluvias intensas, inundaciones, deslaves y oleaje peligroso. #Polo

Hurricane #Polo exhibited Extreme Rapid Intensification - a term for strengthening more than 50 knots (58mph) in 24 hours. Polo increased 110mph in 24 hours, the 5th fastest rate of intensification in NOAA’s Global Satellite record. Extreme rapid intensification (ERI) is becoming much more common 1/

Hurricane #Polo is quickly weakening as it churns up cooler waters. In fact, the system may have cooled the waters by around 40-50 degrees due to its incredible strength! Once the system moves back over warmer waters, an additional round of strengthening cannot be ruled out!

#Polo does not look so good this morning. Its long stall has upwelled water which is now weakening convection and degrading the core. Needs to move from this position to bounce back but that will take some time

#Polo is the third Category 5 hurricane of the Pacific season, and #Odalys is now a hurricane.

So many fossil-fueled monsters out there in the world now
