IDA Strengthening

Hurricane Ida has strengthened

Hurricane ida has strengthened now. It is moving with cat 1 format. 
The hurricane has more potential of turning into cat 2 very soon.The SST on the way and the moisture will add more to the storm.

Infrared images shows  that Ida's heavy thunderstorms are expanding in area, and the cloud tops are cooling, indicating that the updrafts in the storm are growing stronger and pushing higher into the atmosphere.The wind shear is moderate and the Cape is less which is very favorable for intensification. 

It would intensify till sunday afternoon. Then a low pressure system moving from Western USA will dump cool air in it. It will disintensify and will also move in cool  SST. 



we will update later
