Amped Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Irene looks like it's starting to move NE a little faster on the radar frames. I suspect >30mph forward motion by midnight with it being absorbed into the jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know storms strengthen over land! /snark am i the only one who sees an eyewall feature on radar? Irene has a habit of doing that -- she strengthened while over mountainous Puerto Rico a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsman Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 See the surface wind obs map on there? Is that an obs report of Cat 3 winds just south of Hatteras by the hurricane hunters? 2 of them, 117 mph and 127 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheronNC Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 2 of them, 117 mph and 127 mph. That's probably SFMR getting bogus readings over land. Doesn't SFMR measure "roughness" of water surface to ascertain wind speed? Well, land is much rougher than water, and those two barbs were over Hatteras Island as opposed to water.

wxsmwhrms Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Just for comparison's sake, checking out the report on Isabel for NC. Pressures are lower and rainfall will end up totaling MUCH more than in that event. Winds and surge look similar. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/2003isabel.shtml?

wxsmwhrms Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Recon just had a peak FL wind of 86 kt just offshore Cedar island. Unless it has a significant job back to left, looks like the eye should be reemerging back over the Atlantic near KECG later in the afternoon.

Uncle Bobby Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Upton new hurricane warning say 76%chance of tropical storm conditions and 10 of hurricane but they are saying under it that winds will gust to hurricane force at 85mph, what's it mean sorta makes no sense? Saying 10% then hurricane force under it There is sustained wind speed, and then there are gusts. The probability of sustained wind speeds of hurricane strength has been estimated at 10%. They are forecasting that you could get one or more single gusts of up to 85 mph from the entire duration of the event, but that is very different from wind speeds being hurricane strength for sustained periods of time.

phil882 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I know lol, I wonder if anyone keeps records like what is the strongest Cat 1 to ever make landfall in terms of pressure? I'd bet that one would be the new record. BTW check this out http://www.wundergro...t201109_hd.html See the surface wind obs map on there? Is that an obs report of Cat 3 winds just south of Hatteras by the hurricane hunters? 2 of them, 117 mph and 127 mph. The Cat 3 surface wind report was contaminated by the fact it was taken over land... the other obs were rain contaminated... highest winds were around 75 knots at landfall.

Yup, the highest surface obs I could find were sustained 90 mph gusts 110 mph. Pressure was down to 946.8 mb per the last recon before the board crashed.
