Man, this sucks. The gulf coast the way it is geographically set up has a lot of spots that are surprisingly not terrible for a storm to hit. Outside of Houston/galveston and New Orleans, this is probably the absolute worst place this could landfall. Honestly Tampa might be the worst case of any of them given the exposed bay where at least with Houston and New Orleans you do have some land barriers 

Seems like its making a B line for Tampa

I was down in Sarasota this past spring. The bay there is very high even just at high tide. The entire downtown will be underwater. 
 

the construction downtown is pretty new so I would imagine structural damage would be limited even with cat 3 winds. That’s one saving grace, most of the development on the west coast is new and in accordance with the better building codes. Obviously the immediately shoreline will be wrecked, but the newer construction should be fine

All those building are so cheaply made

It’s almost a given with these eastern Gulf storms that they shift east in the end. Hopefully it doesn’t keep going too far. 

def a bit east of track already

There was ~100 mile shift west to the landfall location on 0z Thurs guidance vs 18z wed.

How warm is the water ahead of this? I had a site years ago to find this but can't remember what it was.

Looks like their first east adjustment in awhile, albeit not much

f I'm surprised they kept the due N peg. It does look like it's ticking east

I just hope Helene isn't doing what Michael did, which was basically to stay in check until the final 12-15 hours and then begin to explode.

we will see

Man this thing is a behemoth, look at that gigantic outer band draped over Jamaica.
 

These CAG storms can bring quite the vorticity payload as they head north. Major rossby wave perturbations likely downstream as Helene rots in the mid-latitudes.

I haven’t looked, but this would likely be a “reshuffle the deck” situation for the extratropical circulation across the N-ATL and Europe

Let's if it could escape the Yucatan and have a core in tack then it could really take off

The newest recon pass actually found the center jogged a bit southwest since the last fix, so the surface center is not under that blob of convection, but just off the south edge.

The dropsonde says 990 mb with 17 kt wind.

986

I suspect 2021-22 will probably offer better insight, but it's still early.

For sure don

Enjoy it thru tomorrow it's only a dream after. At this point in my life it's more about the storms than retention, my winter sports days are over but man the beauty today is unmatched. I can't imagine staring at highways and buildings after seeing what we see today. Just spectacular 

Wow amazing <3
