Wow!
Good luck to Mexicans in the path of Patricia. 200 mph winds ... strongest hurricane on record for the eastern Pacific and Atlantic oceans. |

Infrared view
http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/floa...5-ir-long.html We may get showers on Wed. From the storm. And we are a long ways away. |

It is aimed right at Puerto Lallarta the last I heard and I doubt their building code was up to the challenge when all of those hotels and condos were built. The only good news is it will pass east of them on it's current track so the surge will be behind the eye and not in front of it. You usually get a lesser flood that way but it may be a blue sky thing that takes people by surprise. If it is moving fast enough, there might not be any surge at all. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/grap...large#contents |

That's the sign of a real killer storm. They're talking about sustained winds of 200 mph 30 miles either side of the eye with gusts to 240. It will level anything that it hits, just like a big tornado. |

Your wind map has a great picture of that. http://earth.nullschool.net/#current....87,24.94,1389 You will have to drag the map over. It looks like the classic representation of a black hole. |

Looking at your map, wondered something. Are upper level outgoing winds even higher speed? All that air flowing in has to go somewhere. |

It goes up the center of the cyclone (the suck zone) and spreads out across the whole top of the storm. But what kind of wind speeds will be above the eye and near the center of the storm? |

Interesting question I can't answer but I believe it dissipates pretty fast in the upper atmosphere. The energy is expended in the cyclone and we are looking at the exhaust. |

Unless the upper volume is bigger than the lower region, will have to be higher speeds. |
