Hurricane Estelle 2022

Satellite images, weather maps and tracks of Category 1 Hurricane Estelle 2022, July 12 - 21. Max wind speed 85mph.

Estelle has not produced a significant amount of deep convection for the past 12 hours or so. Therefore the system no longer qualifies as a tropical cyclone and this will be the last advisory. The remnant low of Estelle should continue to gradually spin down and degenerate into a trough by this weekend. This is consistent with the forecasts from global models.

Visible satellite imagery shows that the low-level center is a little farther south of the previous track forecast. The updated prediction reflects this slight southward shift. The post-tropical cyclone should move westward or a little north of westward in the low-level winds for the next couple of days.
