Tracking Category 5 Hurricane Polo with 1km Weather Data
Hurricane Polo has regained Category 5 strength overnight with 180 mph sustained winds. While the National Hurricane Center’s track curves the storm toward Baja California Sur and mainland Mexico, the critical exposure for U.S. operations arrives before landfall. Moisture from Polo, combined with Hurricane Odalys, is surging into Arizona, New Mexico, and West Texas, driving significant flash flood risks well ahead of the storm's track. In this video, we visualize the moisture plume using MetX and Meteomatics' US1k model—delivering 1-kilometer resolution across the contiguous U.S. and Gulf, with hourly updates at 15-minute intervals. See how high-resolution modeling sharpens block-by-block flood risk while coarser models blur the threat.
