For those interesting in the model output for hurricane forecasts, the
above is superb.

There is another view, both visible and thermal, of developing Cat1
hurricane Bill from this afternoon's Metop-a pass. It can be found at:

This is the first time I have seen a hurricane predicted as M.

As I recall Katrina never got to that level. s it higher than a
category 5?

Cheers, Alastair.

No; "M" is "major hurricane", ie cat. 3 (110mph) or above. It's mentioned
in the key at the top right of the chart. I think it is new, though; IIRC
the charts just used "H" up until this year.

Ah! Thanks.

That would explain why Katrina at 4/5 was not an M.
