	TPC NHC HILDA 1997 PRELIMINARY REPORT
		Hilda may be traced back to a tropical wave that departed western Africa on 26 July.
		Hilda reached its peak intensity of 45 knots about 12 hours later, and maintained more or less the same strength for 24 hours.
		Since Hilda was a tropical storm for less than 72 hours, the number of forecasts to verify was small and the average errors are probably not meaningful.

		The northern part of the wave was associated with the formation of Hurricane Erika in the central tropical Atlantic, while the southern part continued westward through the Caribbean Sea and northern South America, and arrived in the eastern Pacific basin on 12 September.

	FAQ Part 1
		Before the tropical cyclone reaches hurricane strength (64 kt or 33 m/s), typically the CDO is uniformly showing the cold cloud tops of the cirrus with no eye apparent.
		Hurricane Andrew is a good example of a very intense tropical cyclone (922 mb central pressure and 64 m/s (125 kt) sustained winds at landfall in Florida) that was also relatively small (15 m/s winds extended out only about 150 km from the center).
		A concentric eyewall cycle occurred in Hurricane Andrew (1992) before landfall near Miami: a strong intensity was reached, an outer eyewall formed, this contracted in concert with a pronounced weakening of the storm, and as the outer eyewall completely replaced the original one the hurricane re-intensified.
