Hurricane Kristy is an active, very strong Pacific hurricane. The twelfth named storm, fifth hurricane, and third major hurricane of the 2024 Pacific hurricane season, Kristy formed from a trough of low pressure which absorbed the remnants of Atlantic basin Tropical Storm Nadine. Through October 22 and October 23, Kristy rapidly intensified to a high-end Category 4 hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 155 miles per hour (250 km/h). After slightly weakening due to an eyewall replacement cycle, Kristy became a Category 5 hurricane on October 24.
Meteorological history
[edit]On October 20, the remnants of Atlantic basin Tropical Storm Nadine crossed into the Eastern Pacific basin.[1] The combination of the remnants and influences from a Gulf of Tehuantepec gap wind event were forecasted to result in the formation of a trough of low pressure.[2] The low pressure area formed and soon developed into Tropical Storm Kristy, 275 miles (440 km) away from Acapulco, Mexico.[3]
Kristy was in a favorable environment for further development, and soon strengthened to a Category 1 hurricane[4] on October 22 at 21:00 UTC.[5] Kristy then began a period of rapid intensification,[6] and attained an initial peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of 155 mph (250 km/h) just 12 hours later.[7][8] On the evening of October 23, Kristy underwent an eyewall replacement cycle and weakened slightly, with its winds decreasing to 150 mph (240 km/h), by October 24.[9][10] Later that day, however, Kristy reintensified and became a Category 5 hurricane, with winds of 160 mph (260 km/h).[11] On the night of October 24, Kristy weakened back into a Category 4 hurricane, with winds of 155 mph (250 km/h).[12]
