New feature for cyclonicwx.com/interactive/: you now have total freedom with colormaps! Choose from the many pre-existing ones, create your own with a new colormap editor, or upload a CPT file and instantly import its colormap.

The shear is here and #Isaias is feeling it. Note the "push" of upper westerlies on its outflow. It's strong enough to have made the eyewall very asymmetric, but there is not a lot of time for it to weaken too much now. Additionally, the tornado threat is beginning to the east with waterspouts there

#Isaias has continued to strengthen thanks to the trough interaction and is a major hurricane. However it does seem to finally be feeling some of the shear and the intensification has stalled. It will still be impactful at this point, even outside the core! Risk of tornadoes to the east

#Isaias has continued to strengthen, now the latest first hurricane of the satellite era. Microwave earlier today has suggested a lopsided core tilted by shear, and the shear is easily seen on this loop. However, it is also highly divergent.

#Isaias seems to be a bit more misaligned now than earlier as shear tries to get the best of it. We'll see if it can develop a core before the shear gets too strong, which would make it stronger and more resilient, otherwise will become rather sloppy. High variance

The TDR for #Isaias is in, showing its structural improvement. There's a strong SW side, with a clear RMW that it will try to build a core off of. The center relocation has gotten it more aligned as well, with tilt down to 10-15 km. Certainly explains the faster strengthening

#Isaias is getting itself together today. The newest recon finds a more coherent center, with some stronger winds close to the center and a 4mb drop in pressure from 2 hours ago. With the structure improving we'll likely see some intensification today. TDR will be interesting

#TD9 is here. It already commands a fairly large area of rotation and some decent rotation near the center. It has some decent conditions through the next few days. As it approaches the north-central Gulf Coast at the end of the week shear will increase, but worth watching for an impactful hurricane

Another day, another great satellite presentation in the Pacific. Today it's #Nolo, which has gotten into an increasingly favorable environment and has cleared out a nice large eye. Look at the low clouds spinning around! Expected to reach Category 5, and thankfully no land threat

#Surigae really got itself together. Eye trying to clear on satellite, JMA radar composite has solid eyewall though it could really wrap the more intense precipitation around the entire thing

I've added lots of new ways to view recon data on cyclonicwx.com/interactive/, using the flexibility the map gives you! First are dots rather than the usual wind barbs. You can change these to display wind speed, temperature, and extrapolated pressure! The latter two change the mouseover value too.
