2018 Hurricane Season

Incidentally, I found a nice site that shows the forecast tracks of storms and then, if you want, the current upper and low-level winds. For Olivia, just click on the storm on the map and then click 8km resolution. You can see from the wind barbs that the storm is experiencing very little shear at the moment, but that shear gets stronger near the islands as the upper-level winds blow in the opposite direction to the low-level trades.

For those unfamiliar with wind barbs, there's an explanation here:
