Pretty strong agreement
-
Speaking of which, the next couple years are going to be a dumpster fire as everyone forgets what climo is and expect major us landfalls all the time, when what we will get is fish fish fish
-
Possible Florida impact aside, it's hard to ignore the persistence of the GFS showing an enormous storm off the East coast. Could be interesting days ahead.
-
I think it will hit lake charles with the western portion and at least western Lafayette with the eastern portion. Goes to show how much bigger this is than Laura
-
Current trajectory puts landfall just east of Cameron. Maybe 10 miles east of Laura
-
The NHC track ticked west. Makes sense with the turn to the east delayed by a few hours. Lake charles now at a 60% chance of hurricane force sustained winds. Probably good news from a surge perspective. Will hit low population areas
-
Seems to have stalled out a bit the past few frames. I'm guessing that indicates the turn is happening
-
Yeah,the point being, it was basically assumed before the past couple years that landfalling gulf canes were half-canes
-
Dropsnode 88kts it's at the surface, but 121kts just above the surface
-
Down to about 970/71 mb
-
Yeah, what helped Cancun is bad news for the gulf coast: a larger, more stable core and an expansion of the wind field
-
Thankfully, Cancun appears to be mostly cinder block construction. A bigger city of than I thought, over 600k, similar to the size of Nashville
-
The core is only about 40 miles across. With a little under 24 hrs until landfall, I expect it to make a run at cat 5
-
Recon will be heading in soon. May very well find the most dramatic strengthening yet
-
Maybe somewhat improved from earlier though? It lost the big convective blob to the south
-
All of a sudden, it appears to rapidly be developing a core.
-
The Euro has a similar landfall point to Laura as a weak hurricane
-
Cat1/2 at landfall seems to be the ceiling, even with quick forward speed:
-
Increasingly it seems, the models are showing an extremely high shear in the gulf will tear soon to be Gamma to shreads. The only way I see it surviving is if it manages to stall out a bit until the environment can improve.
-
Starting a thread, now that continued organization is likely and landfall along the gulf coast is an increasing threat. The 6z HWRF is highlighting this evening, into tommorow for a period of fairly quick intensification, once the system gets more stacked. After that track/intensity becomes nearly impossible to predict, with weak steering flow.
-
Pretty quick development in the short to medium range. Probably gets mostly swallowed by the Yucatan due to its small size, but hard to say for sure
-
Radar estimate: .3" Actual: .05" That dry layer really ate up moisture. Goes to show how having good radar coverage matters
-
Looks like once again, NE flow from a wedge should tamp down any flood threat that Beta would otherwise bring. Also fast moving. Lots of parallels to Sally really, just a weaker system. Edit: It does look like there are some dynamics at play. Frontogenisis with a transfer of the low to the coast. Probably up towards the VA border. Has some serious winter storm vibes. DC special if this were January
