wxmeddler Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Not bad at all for June. There's been August TS's that have looked worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DopplerWx Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Some rotation in some cells that are about to come ashore near Bronson and Gainesville. Now convection has wrapped around the western side of the coc, se quad is exposed, lets see if it can wrap around before landfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil882 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Definitely looks like a new LLC has developed east of the previous one under the new MLC. It's amazing how quickly a new surface vortex can develop when forcing from the mid-levels is strong enough (strong w, and by continuity, strong horizontal convergence in an environment of pre-existing cyclonic vorticity). Indeed, and with the recent center relocation and faster forward motion, the overall vertical wind shear has decreased near the center. Unfortunately for Andrea's sake, its also moved into a region of cooler SSTs that are only marginal for maintenance of a TC and that combined with the typical minima in convective activity during daylight has lead to a degraded infrared satellite convective appearance.

phil882 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Recon in the center right now... extrapolated pressure at 991.5 hPa. Max SFMR winds at 46 knots. I'd venture to say the storm peaked in between recon missions as the satellite and radar appearance has degraded somewhat early this afternoon.

wxmeddler Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Eye seemed to relocate a tad west, center is still looking well defined. No landfall yet. For what it's worth, it's only an eye if it has convection all the way around it. Otherwise it's just the center of circulation (COC) or even simpler, just "the center". That being said, it has got a really nice semi-circle of rain. No question on radar now where the center is.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I haven't seen any surface obs that approach TS conditions other than earlier in the Tampa Bay region (unless I am missing something). Yeah only two location on land that have seen minimal and I do mean minimal TS conditions This was about the best numbers I could find so far with a extended period of borderline TS conditions http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=cwbf1 And then this location for a few hrs had borderline TS conditions http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=CDRF Other than that though its been really meh on winds, I was thinking of riding down to Swanquarter tomorrow morning but now I am not so sure, if I thought I had a solid shot of some gust over 50 then I would do it but.......

Yes and as it shows Cedar Key gusted to 51 (44 knots) at one point but overall I am having trouble finding a solid area of max winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ground Scouring Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Recon in the center right now... extrapolated pressure at 991.5 hPa. Max SFMR winds at 46 knots. I'd venture to say the storm peaked in between recon missions as the satellite and radar appearance has degraded somewhat early this afternoon. This was really akin to Debby last year in that the system collapsed in the last several hours before landfall. I highly doubt that the landfall intensity was higher than 35 kt, if not lower, given the degradation in the appearance due to baroclinic processes.
