Got 4-6 hours until the outer eyewall starts to clip sanibel island. Center makes landfall between 18 and 21z.
-
The radar sites are pretty far away so only measuring winds well aloft. This also means there's no NWS radar site to wreck for once.
-
T7.2 if anyone cares. Same as Micheal.
-
Windshear is fired
-
Environmental pressure is running a bit high, so this is getting close to Hugo. A major at landfall looking likely at this point, unless it stalls just offshore while shear eats it alive.
-
Extrap down to 942 SFMR around 107kt, that's on the NW side of the eye.
-
In LA and MS where they made landfall it was a pretty similar track.
-
Bound to have been some RI due to conservation of angular momentum.
-
A good analog would be Katrina/Camille both took very similar tracks and had some different impacts due to the size difference.
-
The winds definitely ramped up based on radar presentation. Probably can confirm higher velocities on radar scope compared to 2 hrs ago. Clearly making a run at cat4 with a large eye
-
Definitely in beast mode now. IR is going to take a while to catch up to radar.
-
Not sure what recons doing. Flying north against the wind. That's not the way back to the eye.
-
When will people learn a watched EWRC never completes.
-
Euro is slightly further NE than 18z through 24. Safe to say it wasn't a hiccup.
-
Requesting an additional 6hrs over water before land interaction.
-
GFS keeps Tampa out of the storm surge but dumps 35" of rain.
-
GFS looks SE with the storm and troff axis through 18hrs.
-
There will always be hiccup run cycles. Sometimes it's 12 or 0z
-
Give it another run cycle or two before buying the east shift.
-
Good news is there's a pinhole eye forming. Bad news is it's on Noru
-
987.9 extrap, core has expanded a lot though.
-
CMC started east of 12z but ended up a bit west by 84hrs
-
It just needed some wind to take advantage of the TCHP, everything else was in place.
-
The core was so tiny the first time it might have been a localized effect due to a hot tower.
-
It probably reformed under the blob, so give it a couple hours to stabilize
