cue excitement. ~985 extrap, 55kts and a nice inner core structure in the NW quad.
-
Yea I know
-
SteveCop bringing the hype. Expecting no less than 900mb in 24hrs.
-
PTC 26 is on the way.
-
I’m pretty bullish on this one relatively speaking so went ahead and made a thread.
-
About time for this one. Models are already fairly robust with 92L with the majority reaching hurricane strength and a good chunk with major status. Environment through D4 is just about as good as it gets, so the intensity ceiling is probably quite high on this one relatively speaking. Cool water, shear and dry air should ensure weakening by landfall at least.
-
92L looks mildly interesting in the medium term. Should have a nice anticyclone/outflow pattern... in the W carib in October.
-
What a storm.
-
Michael is my ideal hurricane. Fast moving, landfall at 90 degrees, in an area thats not too populated, in the middle of the day, clear eye/intensifying into landfall, in the US, the list goes on.

always has been

hi

There's an excellent dataset on wunderground, except it doesn't appear as if any of the PWSs in Benton/Linn actually have data stored for 8/10, go figure.
-
As did I, my guess is that due to the scale of the MCV feature, the average gradient generated by an MCV w/strong RIJ is somewhere in between a hurricane and a tornado.
-
I checked and it's actually way, way greater. For instance, Josh's censors in Michael at Panama City peaked at ~1.5mb/min. This is 3.0-3.5mb/min, obviously. I'm interested in the context of a reading like that relative to other MCVs/Derechoes so I've been looking for comparable data, particularly BAMEX.
-
uhhhh 25mb/7min is pretty insane...
-
You're gonna want to watch these 3 videos. They are the most impressive out of any of the video I've seen so far and are easily on par with a significant, perhaps major, hurricane. MANY gusts over 100mph and the sustained winds are the highest I've seen out of any video.
-
Environment looks pretty decent by Caribbean standards, not sure why models are struggling to do much. There's some dryness out ahead of it, but shear is light and when it exists, it seems to be northerly or easterly. Though it's not actually getting much help from upper level divergence, as it is only modest at best.
-
Here's a compilation of all the highest gusts I observed in sequential order. Including one that I believe may have been as high as 120. I had initially pegged it at 100ish, but after seeing damage surveys, other videos in the area and of winds that strong(Irma's eyewall), local measurements(primarily atkins 126), it seems as if marking that gust as 120 isn't necessarily implausible. Essentially, all the gusts were best guess measurements using a similar method to that used on the strongest gust, so I hope that they're fairly accurate and they seemed sound to me. But who knows...
-
That 126mph wind gust from Atkins is the new Iowa wind speed record if verified.
-
-
graphic is too far north imo. Also leaves out a slew of 100mph wind reports along hwy 30.
-
best vid I've seen so far....
-
Y’all forget 2017 hadn’t really gotten started by this point and had a similar progression of mostly junk until late august.
-
I suspect there may have been gusts that exceeded 120mph in spots. We'll never know though because DVN isnt surveying for some reason...
