Arab Weather | The effects of Hurricane Molten may be devastating to catastrophic on the state of Florida (details)

Arab Weather - Meteorologists at the Arab Weather Weather Monitoring Center are monitoring the latest indications of remote sensing systems developed internally, in addition to what the monitoring systems are monitoring about Tropical Cyclone (Milton), which has developed today to the maximum degree, which is the fifth degree, with the emergence of the eye of the hurricane surrounded by very large amounts of cumulonimbus clouds laden with large amounts of rain and severe thunderstorms, accompanied by strong winds now over the waters of the western Atlantic Ocean.

The hurricane is forecast to move westward, downgrading to a lower category, but the danger level remains high.

After monitoring the latest computer modeling data at the Arab Weather Center, the hurricane is expected to continue moving northeast to east within the Gulf of Mexico to hit the west coast of Florida hard on Wednesday evening, before retreating on Thursday and crossing to the eastern side of the state heading towards the Atlantic Ocean. The path and intensity forecasts can be shown in the following points according to the latest updates and are subject to update according to developments that may occur in the hurricane:

Wednesday : The massive hurricane continues to move northeastward and is downgraded to a Category 4, making direct impact on the west coast of Florida at 9 p.m. EST (4 a.m. Thursday Mecca time), bringing strong winds, torrential rains, and rough seas.

Thursday : The hurricane continues to move east after making landfall, but its classification is downgraded to a Category 1, which is a less dangerous high-risk category, but it is accompanied by heavy rains and strong winds and threatens flooding and inundation of coastal areas with waves.

Saturday : The hurricane crosses land and reaches the Atlantic Ocean, which makes it under observation due to the possibility of the tropical system developing to advanced degrees due to the warmth of the Atlantic Ocean surface waters.

Hurricane Will Bring Massive Rainfall to Florida

According to the latest outputs of advanced computer modeling at the Arab Weather Center, numerical models predict that Florida will witness rainfall that may reach nearly 500 mm during the passage of tropical cyclone Molten. According to experts at the Arab Weather Center, this amount is exceptional.

How did the heat of the Gulf of Mexico contribute to the development of the tropical cyclone?

The heat of the Gulf of Mexico contributed significantly to the development of the hurricane, as the high water temperatures (around 30 degrees Celsius) provide the energy needed to fuel the hurricane. This heat causes large amounts of water to evaporate, increasing the humidity in the air, which is an essential ingredient for cloud formation and storms. Atmospheric instability also occurs as warm, humid air masses interact with cold air masses. In addition, the heat of the water provides a favorable environment for air circulation, which enhances the development of tropical storms.

Hurricane Molten could be strongest since Atlantic hurricane season began

Arab Weather experts believe that Hurricane Molten may be the strongest since the start of the Atlantic hurricane season, as it achieved wind speeds of up to record levels (285 km/h), making it the top of the list of powerful hurricanes. The hurricane coincided with ideal sea conditions, as the waters of the Gulf of Mexico were warm, which provided the hurricane with the energy needed to strengthen. In addition, the surrounding atmospheric environment was conducive to its development, with the absence of strong upper winds that could hinder its growth. Thanks to its large size, Molten greatly affected the affected areas, specifically the coast of the Yucatan Gulf, leading to heavy rains and strong winds before heading towards Florida on Wednesday.

God knows best.
