The eye of a hurricane is made clear by sinking air. The eye itself has the lowest pressure within the storm.

Can a high pressure system prevent a hurricane from coming ashore?

It can if it is in the right place. The path that a hurricane takes is strongly influenced by high and low pressure systems in the vicinity. If a hurricane is approaching land where there is a high pressure system, then the hurricane will likely change course, tending to follow a clockwise path around the high. That said, if a high pressure system is in another location, it may steer the hurricane toward land. Such a case happened in 2012 when a high pressure system over Greenland caused Hurricane Sandy to make an unusual westward turn and make landfall in the U.S. The paths of many Atlantic hurricanes are influenced by the Bermuda High, a semi-permanent high pressure system over the north-central Atlantic. It causes the common trend of hurricanes to start out moving west and gradually turn north. If the high is centered father east, hurricanes will tend to make that northward turn far to the east, causing them to stay at sea. If the high drifts westward storms may make the turn later and end up either hitting the U.S. East Coast, the Caribbean Islands, or enter the Gulf of Mexico.


Why does low pressure make a hurricane stronger?

In simple terms, wind is driven by pressure differences. A larger pressure difference over a given distance will produce a larger force on the air and thus create faster winds. As with most storms, air pressure in a hurricane is lower than that of its surroundings. Lowering the pressure in a hurricane creates a larger pressure difference and thus stronger winds.


How powerful was hurricane Michael in 1969?

Hurricane Michael did not occur in 1969. Hurricane Michael made landfall on the Florida Panhandle as a Category 5 hurricane in 2018. It was the third most intense Atlantic hurricane to make landfall in the United States in terms of pressure.


What is in the middle of a hurricane?

In the center of a hurricane is the eye, which is a region of calm weather with clear skies and low wind speeds. The eye is surrounded by the eyewall, where the strongest winds and heaviest rainfall occur.


Why is Hurricane Sandy considered Frankenstorm?

Hurricane Sandy is also being referred to as Frankenstorm because it will make landfall at high tide under a full moon right as Halloween is approaching.

What can make a hurricane?

A hurricane can result when an upper level high pressure area filled with moisture rides over a lower level low pressure area. The the water temperature should generally be over 76 degrees Fahrenheit. When those conditions are just right, a hurricane can form. If the water is too cold, it will usually not form but can continue to exist. If there is not high pressure above the storm, it will usually dissipate. If it is dry, then it will not have moisture to create the heat to drive the storm. It needs ideal conditions.

Did hurricane Edith make landfall as a category 5 hurricane in 1971 in Nicaragua?

Yes, Hurricane Edith made landfall in far northern Nicaragua on the evening of September 9, 1971 at peak strength as a Category 5 hurricane with winds of 160 mph and a barometric pressure of 943 mbar. It was the first Category 5 storm to hit Nicaragua (Hurricane Felix of 2007 has since hit Nicaragua at this strength). At the time, it was the strongest hurricane to hit Nicaragua in terms of barometric pressure, but has since been surpassed by Hurricane Joan of 1988 and Hurricane Felix of 2007.

What weather variable do meteorologist measure when they are preparing to make a weather forecast?

Air pressure, temperature, wind direction and speed, and also where high and low pressures sit. They also have to know where all the warm, cold, stationary, and occluded fronts are. they both have the air pressure that crashes and makes a hurricane
