Hurricane #Fernanda formed in the Eastern Pacific over the weekend and is already a major Category 3 storm. This #GOESWest water vapor zoom sequence illustrates all the dry air that will contribute to the demise of Fernanda. We have more data & imagery at https://t.co/qebDBozOqY https://t.co/y88HyEfyHH

A view of the Pacific this morning via the water vapor channel on @NOAA's #GOESWest 🛰️ shows moisture-rich Tropical Storm #Greg and Hurricane #Fernanda churning over the Pacific in stark contrast to the drier (orange/yellow) air around them.

Yesterday, @NOAA's #GOESWest 🛰️ captured a trio of tropical storms—#Greg, #Fernanda, and #Hilary swirling simultaneously over the Pacific.

Hilary has been rapidly intensifying and became a hurricane this morning. It will potentially impact Baja California and the southwestern U.S. this weekend and early next week.
