A very strong Hurricane Polo still hangs close to the Mexican coast, while Hurricane Odalys sails the open ocean. Tropical Storm Nolo threatens to intensify into a major hurricane when it nears Hawai'i this weekend.

Lowell deviated about 150 miles east of the official forecast from Friday, bringing its core dangerously close to Kauai and Niihau, the westernmost of the main Hawaiian islands. It's the strongest hurricane to affect this part of Hawaii in 30+ years. ⬇️

I've seen a lot of waterspout photos and video, and have taken some myself, but have never seen this quasi-steady state 'corkscrew' structure before. I think it's rare with tornadoes over land as well. @chrisknoxphotog.bsky.social captured something special with this one over Lake Ontario!
A quick clip of this morning's waterspout over Lake Ontario, just west of Presqu'ile Provincial Park. This came within 500m or so of the shore before it fell apart in heavy rain.

New paper alert! This peer-reviewed journal paper is the most comprehensive study of tornado-related wind risk ever undertaken for Canada. And includes our latest best estimate of annual occurrence rate (below). Should be open access here:

Could we see the first long-track Cabo Verde storm of the Atlantic hurricane season from the wave near Africa? Some models think so, but it may not find its footing until it breaks through the shear zone into the southwest Atlantic next week. My latest ⬇️
