The storm is tracking over the Southeastern Gulf of Mexico in early October. It's basically bath water either way.
-
12z HMON CAT 3 approaching landfall. Storm is intensifying on final approach too.
-
155mph - 925mb 2PM EST. Advisory.
-
Latest dropsonde. Just under Cat 5.
-
Yes, glad that recon is there to make on last pass. Does the next recon flight leave at 18z?
-
NHC increased to 150MPH with the latest advisory, pressure at 929mb, so slight strengthening.
-
Looking better now for sure even though there is still impingement on the NW side. Plenty of -80C tops rotating around the core.
-
FWIW, the 06z HAFS-A shows some dry air intrusions today and a significantly larger eye by tomorrow morning.
-
Recon just got another pass. Pressure is holding steady.
-
The hurricane is not currently being affected by dry air. We do have some Northwesterly shear that's forecasted to weaken as the day goes on. Conditions will be favorable for about the next 24 hours. As we speak, hot towers are going up in the Western eyewall. It's still getting its act together from the EWRC.
-
Also maintains intensity well. Strong winds make it as far inland as Orlando but it does confine most of the rain to the West and North of the center.

-
Dry air issues beginning on Wednesday completely destroy the inner core.
-
Next panel is wild. 897mb. 160kts.
-
The initialization pressure is a joke, but it does show deepening in the 12-24 hours leading up to landfall. 965mb 00z Wednesday, 949mb 00z Thursday. Minimal dry air issues.
-
Translates to about 140kts at the surface.
-
The 06z HWRF never brings the center South of 22N which is already off based on the latest advisory position of 21.7N.
-
Noticed that the HWRF is showing much less dry air intrusion on final approach than what was being modeled on Saturday.
-
Jim Cantore also said at the time that it was the strongest Cat 1 he had ever experienced.
-
I believe there were forecasts that high in Texas associated with Hurricane Harvey.
-
This storm has quite an extensive PRE. The center is still West of Naples but the rainfall is already pushing into Kentucky and West Virginia. Fresh water flooding will be a huge deal on top of the wind and immediate coastal impacts.
-
Prolific rainfall amounts incoming for Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina into the Smokies due to upsloping.
-
Going to be a lot of quick spin ups today East of the track.
-
Peak at 160kts.
-
I'm waiting to see what the Yankees do. Have tickets for the game tonight.
