2026 C and E Pacific tropical activity

Polo has some structural changes occurring. Note the two images below. Over the past four hours, the tops are warming around the immediate eye, while a larger / thicker band is expanding out away from the immediate core. The MW scan from earlier today did show some intense banding. Though it would be impressive how quickly that has come to evolve into a concentric feature. However, look at your post. That does appear to be evolving fast on recon's radar. Granted, Polo's eye has been small, and at this intensity, structural changes may evolve rapidly:

Also pressure rose on the last pass. The secondary eyewall does seem to be strengthening based on FL winds as well

As tight as this core is, could see a quasi-ERC that happens quickly and propels this to even higher strength over the next 18-24 hours. 889 pressure is on the top-10 list

Yep, seems to be nearing completion already based on the latest microwave

How low can she go?
