El Niño winds and warming seas battle over Hurricane Isaias
Original: El Niño’s storm-killer winds and climate’s warming waters in fight over future of Hurricane Isaias
Hurricane Isaias is being shaped by two opposing forces: El Niño's strong wind shear, which tends to tear storms apart, and unusually warm ocean waters boosted by climate change, which fuel intensification. Meteorologists are watching which factor wins out as the storm's future track and strength remain highly uncertain.
Why now: The storm's path and intensity are uncertain, and the clash of El Niño shear against record-warm waters makes its evolution a live forecast question.
