Never seen double storms like this before. And at least one of them ramped up in a hurry.
Veronica underwent a phenomenal period of rapid intensification on Wednesday, taking advantage of low wind shear and very warm sea surface temperatures (SSTs) near 30°C (86°F)—up to 1°C above average for this time of year. Veronica intensified from a tropical storm with 65 mph winds at 6Z March 20 into a Category 4 storm with 145 mph winds just 18 hours later—an 80 mph increase in winds.
