    It gets pulled by the trough off the east coast, which is anonymously far south. Also no ridging to stop it from recurving.

    It seems to me the inhibiting factor for development could be the broad circulation may have trouble tightening. This seems to be why the GFS has a very large hurricane, while the Euro has shown on several runs a broad area of low pressure that never develops despite reasonably favorable conditions.

    I-85 is lava. Seems mid-level dry air should keep rain totals in check for the triad. The HRRR depicts this well, with around .5" and 1-2" just to our south.

    Top gusts so far: 60 mph Wilmington, 67 mph Wrightsville beach, & a rather suspect looking 77 mph gust at sunny point. Meanwhile, even along the coastline only gusts in the mid 30s south of Bald Head.

    Yeah I thought that was pretty well established a couple days ago, that a stronger storm could actually be enhanced by what on paper is shear. You think more of a net neutral impact overall though?
  6. olafminesaw
    Yeah probably sustained 50-60, gusts to 90 for the most part

    Almost cat 2 per the 5 am update!

    Hmm...

    A well ventilated blob! I wonder if this feature imparts a bit of a Fujiwara effect and pulls Francine a little more East.

    Also gives it more time over water, and may even strengthen somewhat over the Bayou

    Trying to rotate hot towers around the center, has a chance to push the dry air out of the core if it continues

    A bit concerning with respect to surge potential especially if this thing comes in a little stronger. Thankfully, for the most part, coastal LA does not build in the flood zones.

    What is ideal track? A bit right of the current NHC track?

    Not your typical hurricane!

    Looks like the GFS takes the energy from 90L across Mexico into the Pacific where it becomes a hurricane, making landfall in Mexico before crossing back into the Gulf and developing into a hurricane again.

    No doubt a cat 5 now. Probably went through some kind of eyewall restructuring over night

    Some of the wildest banding I've ever seen. Well on it's way to cat 5
  19. olafminesaw
    What a beaut! Looking a bit annular. Looks stronger than 105 mph...

    Huge corrections from all models. Now many models have it slowing down prior to landfall which may give it an opportunity to go through ERC before landfall

    At GSO we are at 82 hours and counting with a dew point below 60. That is the 7th longest streak all time for the month of August.
  23. olafminesaw
    Already seeing gusts of 50-65 mph across the island

    Getting a bit of a "halficane" look
