Did some research this morning. The last plowable snowfall event of 4 to 8 inches for DMV was Jan 3rd 2022. They are well overdue for a good storm.
-
Not much larger than TS Marco. This may be one of the smallest hurricanes on record now. I seem to recall Marco having TS winds 11 miles from the center.
-
Agreed if it's that many. I was running off the 400K number.
-
While we wait for the next recon. Where are you guys getting these eye lightning strike images and videos from?
-
The least intense Cat 5 was 943mb. Hurricane Francine in 1971 for reference.
-
What was the hour count from TS to Cat 5? Like 36 hours?
-
What's nice is satellite technology has advanced to the point we can observe the entire sequence.
-
Fair statement. A half assed ERC.
-
Not likely considering it has one last night.
-
New pressure 942.5mb
-
943 is the intensity of a Cat 5 hurricane in 1971.
-
That does happen. I use to set those in the Coast Guard. They snap their chain mooring. I have pulled them off the beach and everything.
-
Almost certainly is
-
The NHC guys call this a Kelvin Wave.
-
Lightning popping around the eyewall for the first time.
-
Now that you point it out you can see the open area at the SW. Didn't even notice till you said that.
-
Is that eye 32 miles across? Did I read that correctly?
-
That's pretty much Mexico Beach from Michael.
-
How warm is the water ahead of this? I had a site years ago to find this but can't remember what it was.
-
@stormtrackerare you chasing this or headed down for another reason?
-
That's even better.
-
Thank you. Kinda like your reply then? It was a question. Like is that what it is?
-
I kinda wonder if those are hot towers beginning to fire around the center.
-
Years ago, I was chatting with one of the NHC guys and he mentioned that hurricanes on this approach produce a Kelvin Wave. The energy from the storm refracts back and forth from the coast to the hurricane until finally it crashes into Appalachcola Bay. There was one storm. I wanna say it was Ivan that produced this effect and that Bay saw a significant storm surge but was well outside the threat zone.
