Milton weakened to a Category 4 hurricane after an eyewall replacement cycle, and reintensified into a Category 5 hurricane the following day. [5] [6] Increasing wind shear caused the hurricane to weaken as it turned northeast towards Florida, falling to Category 3 status before making landfall near Siesta Key late on October 9.
Milton completed an eyewall replacement cycle overnight Monday and the new eye quickly contracted down in size by almost half, Robbie Berg, one of the center’s hurricane specialists, wrote in an ...
Concentric eyewalls seen in Typhoon Haima as it travels west across the Pacific Ocean.. In meteorology, eyewall replacement cycles, also called concentric eyewall cycles, naturally occur in intense tropical cyclones with maximum sustained winds greater than 33 m/s (64 kn; 119 km/h; 74 mph), or hurricane-force, and particularly in major hurricanes of Saffir–Simpson category 3 to 5.
The exact landfall is complicated by Milton's large and growing eye and eyewall. "Near and just south of where the eye rolls in, some barrier islands and coastal mainland communities may ...
Hurricane Milton’s eyewall began pushing ashore just south of Sarasota Wednesday night, bringing with it heavy rains and rising coastal storm surge and spinning off a string of tornadoes across ...
In tropical cyclones maximum wind speed of the storm, which occurs at the eyewall, is a primary indicator of its overall strength which is important in predicting overall intensity. Just beyond this eyewall is a moat which separates the inner rainbands (eventually the outer eyewall) from the (inner) eyewall.
Winds tore the roof of Tropicana Field and caused a crane to collapse. Hurricane Milton ripped through southwest Florida on Wednesday, nearly two weeks after Hurricane Helene hit Florida's Big ...
Cross section of a mature tropical cyclone. A typical tropical cyclone has an eye approximately 30–65 km (20–40 mi) across at the geometric center of the storm. The eye may be clear or have spotty low clouds (a clear eye), it may be filled with low-and mid-level clouds (a filled eye), or it may be obscured by the central dense overcast.
