Hurricane Hilda 2021
Last Modified:
Satellite images, weather maps and tracks of Category 1 Hurricane Hilda 2021, July 28 - August 7. Max wind speed 85mph.
Hilda has been devoid of organized deep convection for at least 12 hours, and since the cyclone is moving over sub-23°C sea surface temperatures, regeneration of deep convection is unlikely. Therefore, Hilda is designated as a 30 mph (25 knots) post-tropical remnant low, and this is the last advisory from National Hurricane Center. The low should continue to move further into a dry and stable air mass and over even cooler waters. Consequently, weakening is forecast and the remnant low of Hilda should open up into a trough of low pressure over the weekend.
The initial motion is estimated to be west-northwestward, or 300/9 knots, and this general heading, within the low-level flow, is forecast to continue until dissipation.
