Major Cat 3 Hurricane ADRIAN West of Mexico
      #90379 - Thu Jun 09 2011 01:36 PM

Rapidly Intensifying Hurricane 'Adrian' has become a Major Cat 3 Storm in the Eastern Pacific Basin, fortunately well west of Mexico.

'Adrian' intensified quite rapidly over warm waters in a low shear environment and went from Cat. 1 ( about 75 mph) to Major Cat 3 Status (115 mph) in just 15 hours time.



This visible light photo of Hurricane 'Adrian' was taken early this morning, local basin time, just prior to upgrade to Cat 3 status.

And now, from the most recent bulletin from the NHC, as of post time:

ADRIAN HAS DEVELOPED A DISTINCT EYE WHICH IS EMBEDDED WITHIN A RATHER LARGE AND SYMMETRICAL CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST. THE HURRICANE DISPLAYS A WELL ESTABLISHED UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW WITH NO SIGNS OF SHEAR.

BOTH SUBJECTIVE AND OBJECTIVE Dvorak T-NUMBERS HAVE INCREASED THIS MORNING ... AND SUPPORT AN INITIAL INTENSITY OF 100 KNOTS. THIS MAKES ADRIAN A CATEGORY 3 HURRICANE ...


Please visit the NHC website for more information and additional graphics on 'Adrian'.

NHC Page for Hurricane ADRIAN

Will post more graphics and analysis, time permitting ...

That's a very impressive looking storm for so early in the season. A couple of the models seem to want to re-curve it toward the tip of Baja California.
