    Pretty impressive low at GSO of 24. It was 27 at 4:30 and 4:45 and dropped 3 degrees and back up in those 15 minutes. Noticeable cold pockets north of the airport as well on my way to work this morning, about 3-4 degrees colder than near the airport.

    Nearly 6" of QPF!

    Tornado watch tomorrow perhaps

    I feel like this is probably not quite right...

    The gulf stream isn't really any warmer than the water Nicole is currently traversing. The warmest waters it will cross will be just before reaching the Bahamas

    I kept wondering why the advisory times are one hour earlier, took me forever to figure out why... Hurricanes after fall back are not the norm apparently

    The 12zHAFS nailed the evolution today if you flip through the IR frames. Like, shocking really. Gets convection ramping up again around midnight

    Recon finds a pressure of 980 mb or so and supports winds of 55-60 kts
  9. olafminesaw
    45 kt surface winds recorded 200 miles or so West of the center (from the upper level recon flight), this thing is really starting to expand
  10. olafminesaw
    Indeed, looks pretty darn good all of a sudden
  11. olafminesaw
    It seems like regardless of how much the pressure drops, it's maxing out between 60-75 mph. Any pressure drops below 980 are primarily expanding the wind field
  12. olafminesaw
    Seems Nicole is going to need to get down to around 980-85 mb to reach hurricane strength. Of course this will be higher impact than a typical cat 1 due to it's size
  13. olafminesaw
    Certainly a tight core
  14. olafminesaw
    The HWRF doesn't begin to build a tropic core until this evening. I presume this will occur once Nicole begins to turn back to the south over warmer water, as long as dry air doesn't inhibit development

    The 4 pm discussion said it's still moving westward. I will say, watching the LLC in the short-term can be misleading, but still seems odd
  16. olafminesaw
    It appears another recon flight will be in the storm in 4-5 hours. It will be interesting to see if the LLC continues to move south or moves back to the W or NW in that timeframe.

    The Euro seems to really broaden the wind-field, without increasing max wind speed. Has a massive area of 35-45 mph winds, but probably would be a 50 mph landfall
  18. olafminesaw
    Not exactly your classic strengthening TS look
  19. olafminesaw
    Yep, the 6z Euro include with that trend. Pressure at landfall of 990-995 mb and strength of about 50 mph is my guess. A third landfall in Nova Scotia isn't out of the question as well, as per the GFS

    Boy do I love Septanuary
  21. olafminesaw
    Stronger
  22. olafminesaw
    All things considered, a pretty high degree of confidence in a strong system from the EPS.
  23. olafminesaw
    It's pretty simple really...the GFS is on crack. A fairly weak low tracking across Florida, into the gulf, bringing areas of heavy rain, makes the most sense.
  24. olafminesaw
    GFS developed a TS only 84 hours out. May not be so far fetched this time
  25. olafminesaw
    Recurves sharply OTS after a brush with Hispaniola
