...THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 26 2019 8:40 PM EDT...
The following is a special update on Hurricane Lorenzo which has continued to intensify...and reached 140 mph maximum sustained winds as of the 5 PM EDT National Hurricane Center advisory. Because the ongoing intensification...and indications from modeling earlier this morning that Lorenzo's extensive thunderstorm latent heat release will tend to keep upper vorticity and their unfavorable shear around the hurricane at bay...I am raising my intensity forecast from my previous update from earlier today. Interests in the Azores should continue to monitor the progress of Lorenzo as the steering pattern favors a northeast turn towards the general direction of the islands just after 5 days.
