Synoptic Overview
|
Hurricane Irma began showing its convective appearance on satellite imagery the 26-27th of August 2017 as it moved into the Eastern Atlantic waters. During the morning of August 30th, Irma was classified as a Tropical Storm with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph moving westward at 13 mph about 400 miles to the east of the Cabo Verde Islands. Within the next 30 hours, Irma went through a rapid intensification period primarily due to the moist environment and very warm sea surface temperatures during that time frame. On August 31st, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) classified Irma as a major hurricane, category 3 on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale (SSHS). During the next couple of days, there was little change in intensity as the hurricane moved west-northwestward into a drier environment and cooler sea surface temperatures; it had also completed several eyewall replacement cycles.
