Satellite Sees Hurricane Willa Battering Western Mexico

Powerful Hurricane Willa, the 22nd named storm of the 2018 Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season, is on a collision course with Mexico's southwestern coast. Willa is the 10th major hurricane (defined as a Category 3 storm or higher) to form in the eastern Pacific basin this year, and the third Category 5 hurricane after hurricanes Lane and Walaka.
Image 1. NASA's Aqua satellite passed over Hurricane Willa on Oct. 22 at 4:35 p.m. EDT (2035 UTC) and captured this image of the storm in near-visible light. Willa was still off-shore from western Mexico, but clouds and storms stretched northeast over western Mexico. Credit: NASA JPL

Image 2 and 3. This image of the storm, captured by GOES East at 10 a.m. EDT Oct. 22, shows Willa moving northward toward Mexico shortly after sunrise local time.
Over the weekend, Willa rapidly intensified from a tropical storm to a Category 5 hurricane in just 48 hours. At 2 p.m. ET on Oct. 22, 2018, the National Hurricane Center reported Willa had sustained winds of 160 mph. Willa is expected to unleash a combination of destructive waves and dangerous storm surge along the coast of southwestern Mexico by Tuesday evening, and dump up to 6 to 12 inches of rain, which will likely cause life-threatening flash flooding and landslides.
