Dry air really getting at the center. Right when models had it. Interesting deep convection on the western side of the western eyewall. Wonder if dry air is causing more instability in the mid levels as it impinges in from the west and southwest.

If there is a time for further strengthening it’s now through 18z or so. Definitely good venting helping out.

If it weakens right before landfall and the core erodes like some models have, best winds may be found in the convection modeled on the NW side of the center. Would make it more difficult to maximize best winds in that area accounting for forward motion. You really need good mixing to maximize your best winds at the surface. That’s why it makes all the difference when a storm is intensifying as it makes landfall vs weakening. I’m not minimizing this, just stating what we know with these storms.

Andrew intensified rapidly before landfall in south florida from the east. Stick to making bad sports takes.

What a win for GDM weathernextv3. It’s getting scary how good it is.

Through history, the opposite has occurred vs intensifying. The recent ones to intensify had much weaker shear vs what is forecasted.

Maybe just Sunday night. Should be better late morning Monday. Hopefully.

I think so

You guys had snow though iirc? Pretty sure it even changed down on the upper cape.

Then later that month, we had the snow event with some more tree damage. That was a great month of Phil. October 2021 had the epic wind event. We need to make October great again.

Yea we got crushed here. One swath went through my hood about quarter mile away. Another swath about a mile away that had big boy damage.

Still a little disorganized on IR. Although, it seems to be fighting off shear a bit.

So much anger about fake cold.
