  1. We have such an array of tools to analyze tropical cyclone these days. Here's how things were done in 1973.
  2. The latest NHC discussion (#24 for future archival) is absolutely worth reading. Eric Blake talks about the worth of the hurricane hunters and Tampa Bay doppler radar. Wish I could post it but I'm mobile.
  3. Sarasota ASOS reported a wind gust to 53kt.
  4. 144kt flight level wind on the latest vortex data message
  5. Looks like latest recon may have found cat 5 winds in Ian.
  6. ProTip: turn the smoothing off. You'll see the finer features better.
  7. Watch the sun rise on Ian here: https://weather.msfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/basicLooper.pl?category=goeseastabimesoscale1&regex=00p64um&title=GOES-East ABI Mesoscale 1 - 0.64 um - Band 2&time_drop=show
  8. Morning visible satellite should be a stunner. Ian sure is living up to the 'I' storm reputation so far.
  9. Looking like the 2nd landfall is becoming a real possibility.
  10. Unless that's contaminated, looks like Ian is trying for Cat4
  11. Couple of trends with the 00z/12z guidance today: 1.) Big rainfall totals for Florida up into Carolinas 2.) Ian maintains or strengthens up until first US landfall 3.) Ian may emerge back over SE Atlantic Ocean then make 2nd landfall in GA or SC. 4.) Moderate flooding impacts possible up into southern VA this weekend.
