Hurricane Hunters! Riders on the Storm by Chris L. Demarest

From the back of the book:
An Air Force special weather reconnaissance squadron based in Biloxi, Mississippi, these brave men and women fly their WC Hercules aircraft into the heart of a hurricane and collect information: in which direction the hurricane is heading, how fast it's moving, and how big it's growing. Before the end of their twelve-hour flight, the Hurricane Hunters will have gathered enough information to save many lives.
