Colin McCarthy(@US_Stormwatch):Hurricane Genevieve has gone from a 70 mph tropical storm to a 140 mph Category 4 hurricane in just 24 hours in the Eastern Pacific, and may make a run at Category 5. This storm will also help pump up the high-pressure ridge over the Southwest and California later this week through latent heat release, leading to a severe heatwave across the region. Really amazing how interconnected our world is.
