Structure has greatly improved the past few hours. Lorenzo is a fighter.

Michael

Wow Lorenzo is really impressive for it's location and the time of year, but I can't help to be a little skeptical of it being a Cat 5 right now. That eye is just a little to ragged for me despite the warm eye temp. Compared to hurricane Michael that wasn't upgraded until post season analysis...I just don't know if it fits the bill. Perhaps NHC not afraid to be a little aggressive considering it's in the middle of the Atlantic right now. Also of note Michael had higher ADT estimates but we had much more recon data throughout the storm. Lorenzo

"I'll be adjusting the new skin .. or perhaps have users choose between light and dark options" Wow posted that in the site performance thread. Not an option yet but hopefully it will be soon because I agree with you. At least it looks like the font issue is fixed for now.

Coming down nicely at Showdown, MT. Looks like a pretty small resort for Montana. https://video.nest.com/live/zAmcOAWDgq

You have to manually set text back to black font right now. The board is defaulting to white font on a white background haha. Are my posts even showing up on here? Scroll up and let me know please. lol...

These Captains should stop sailing into the eye of major hurricanes....People on twitter are saying NOAA hurricane hunters assisted with the search and rescue. https://weather.com/news/news/2019-09-28-bourbon-rhode-boat-crew-rescued-lorenzo

FYI you have to manually set your font to black to see your comment. The board is defaulting to white font right now.

How does this happen again after El Faro? Is it really that has not to sail into the eye of a major hurricane in 2019? Looks like a NOAA hurricane hunter assisted in the search and rescue mission as well which is probably a first. https://weather.com/news/news/2019-09-28-bourbon-rhode-boat-crew-rescued-lorenzo

lol umm wow

Interesting stuff. Thanks ORH and Wiz for the explanations.

Those few lavender colored spots on this snowfall map I also love the "wind damage to docks and marinas" statement. Most storms of this strength the water has to be pretty much all iced over up there. Great AFD by Missoula NWS as well. https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=XXXAFDMSO&wfo=MSO Snow won`t start to accumulate in most of the valleys until Saturday night. Due to the warm ground temperatures from the recent summer When the strong winds and cold air start to interact with the relatively warm waters of Flathead Lake, it makes the perfect setup for big, damaging waves on the lake. It`s very rare to have waves 6 ft or more on Flathead Lake, but it`s possible this Saturday. Quick question for anyone though. Does the cold air interacting with warm water make the waves bigger as the discussion implies? Not sure I've heard that before.

WTF is Columbia gas doing!? Another gas leak in the exact same area of Lawrence on the new lines they put in...been news choppers flying around all morning here in North Andover. https://www.wcvb.com/article/major-gas-leak-prompts-evacuations-in-lawrence/29260322

Opening day at Ragged last year. I think Dec 1st...best conditions I saw there all year.

Agreed. Only caveat is I had my best powder days up north early in the season and it set the bar so high. November was insanely good by any New England standards. Everything after that was hit or miss for me.

Looks like an early winter cold front pushing through out there. Temp dropped from 80 - 65 in a few hours with a heavy wind driven rain. Gusts to about 25mph I'd say.

Ya that was last year at Mammoth I believe....they got absolutely nailed. I'm ready for the snow, enough of this boring weather I want to hit the slopes.

FYI this airs at 7:30 EST on The Weather Channel.

Can't blame the NHC as it was an extremely difficult forecast with Mario so close by, but what an insane track change with Lorena in just one advisory.

Big ridge on euro but trough coming across the central conus will eventually turn it. Also notably weakens TD 10 as it approaches the Bahamas.

Fun conditions at this Buoy! 39ft wave height earlier this morning. https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=44011

Posted this over in the Dorian thread but figured I'd post it up here as well. Some wild footage from Hope Town via Jim Edds. Canada sure looks like it's going to get whacked. Quite the impressive structure for where Dorian is in the Atlantic. I'll probably take a drive up to Salisbury beach tomorrow to at least check out the surf.

According to James Reynolds he probably didn't. If I recall correctly they have been on some chases together in the WPAC so it's about as a reliable source we can get at this point.

Aerial footage coming out of Abaco now is pretty unreal.
