  1. Yeah, it's been rock steady for several days now (keep in mind the heavy precip is west of the track).
  2. Structure is impeccable. HAFS B suggests an ERC starting around 21-0Z this evening. Seems inevitable based on the size of the eye. But could see strengthening in the meantime
  3. I think so, I don't think a little bit of shear would cause the eye to degrade on appearance and the pressure to rise so much in a such a short period of time without an ERC. Not any signs of one on microwave which could be just due to the low resolution/small core, but also could indicate more of a meld/quick ERC.
  4. Missing pressure data at the moment. Hopefully temporary
  5. Am I seeing a hint of a double wind maxima? Or just noise?
  6. Went from 80 mph to 160mph (give or take) in 15 hours
  7. Making any mention of a single ensemble member should be punishable by a night in jail or a fine of no less than $5,000
  8. The TT SST analysis seems to have ocean temps maybe a bit too cool in the cold pool. A buoy in the heart of it is measuring 78.4F which is warm enough to keep a strong hurricane going. It also has risen a full degree since earlier this morning.
  9. Not a ton of strengthening overnight, but improvement to structure, should be stable for a while now and ready to rock and roll.
  10. Looks like it's about to start it's RI tonight
  11. The TT webpage for Lee updated to hurricane, must be upgrading at 5 pm
  12. At the bottom of the lower dynamics tab. But it isn't available in all regions.
  13. Can see a little shear preventing this thing from wrapping up quicker. Otherwise I'd say hurricane by early this evening , but should at least steadily strengthen until tomorrow when shear should relax, as you say
  14. Convection going up big time. Will eventually be what drives the formation of the eyewall barring any unforseen hickups
  15. Hilary was forecasted at 105 kts on it's first advisory (skipped straight to 35kt TS). Pretty similar in terms of model consensus for a powerful hurricane at this range.
  16. Not a lot of steering in the medium range, it's crawling on the Euro at around 150 hrs. May make for a tricky forecast wrt the timing with the trough.
  17. Wild to think of all the water that would push into the bay of Fundy
  18. I've noticed the GFS has a bias for making hurricanes way too large. Can anyone back that up? Not really going to matter if it stays off shore, but if it does approach the East Coast, it's something to keep in mind as the hype machine gets going.
  19. Still, cloud cover making a difference early. Yesterday's GFS had us at 93 at 11 am, it's currently 79.
