This morning's 11am Forecast Discussion from the National Hurricane Center included a very interesting final paragraph concerning the impressive development of Hurricane Humberto. The last line, especially, seems noteworthy.
BASED ON OPERATIONAL ESTIMATES...HUMBERTO STRENGTHENED FROM A 30 KT
DEPRESSION AT 15Z YESTERDAY TO A 75 KT HURRICANE AT 09Z THIS
MORNING...AN INCREASE OF 45 KT IN 18 HOURS. TO PUT THIS
DEVELOPMENT IN PERSPECTIVE...NO TROPICAL CYCLONE IN THE HISTORICAL
RECORD HAS EVER REACHED THIS INTENSITY AT A FASTER RATE NEAR
LANDFALL. IT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW...SOMEDAY...WHY THIS HAPPENED.

Having recently graduated from Mississippi State University with a degree in Broadcast Meteorology, I am now a young meteorologist on the hunt for a job! In the summer of 2006 I had an internship here at Fox 8. I grew up in this area and graduated from Ledford High School in 2003, and have been in Mississippi for the past 4 years.
