Fernanda is now a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale – the first of such this year. Fernanda was able to rapidly intensify over very favorable conditions, including light wind shear, a moist environment and very warm sea surface temperatures. Some slight additional intensification is possible before eyewall replacement cycles will likely cause fluctuations in intensity…
