Hurricane Joaquin 2015

Fishel is really holding on to the Euro.  He says that he's not convinced it isn't wrong yet, considering its domination over the American model in recent years.

I think this is a no win for the local mets. If they jump on the bandwagon of landfall now then it will miss. If they follow the euro it will make landfall. Still 5 days out and a lot of changes between now and then.

Seems most models are still thinking a left turn after landfall is gonna happen. This really complicates things for local mets because theres just so many possibilities how can you even begin to prepare? Tell everyone to be ready for flooding rains and high winds? 

 

If we are on the SW side of the circ then i'm not confident at all about what conditions we might see. We went through the southwestern eye with isabel, we cleared out and even saw the hurricane hunter plane and we only had gusts to low 50's while 35 miles north had gusts well into the 90's

 

I was on the south side of Isabel and we had about rain and maybe winds up into the 30's. If we get this one, I am hoping for the same. As saturated as the soil is, trees will come down in big numbers if this comes in to our south.

It's actually three days out. I just think it is better to be safe than sorry. Show the people what the models show, and that the Euro is the only one showing it go out to sea. I wouldn't mention a thing about what is right or wrong now. Just show everyone what the models are showing and to prepare for the worst.

I'm not in your neck of the woods - so last intrusion from a Florida boy --

 

This is not a model/X-Box game ---- get ready and have your supplies; then stay safe and take care; someone looks to get maybe pounded -- it might be you when the models suggest otherwise.

 

Best to all of you all. Hope it does hook right and go out to sea - then your supplies will be good come January when ....

Can we tell from the model runs how strong the hurricane might be when it shows them making landfall? I know the pressure is an indicator, but can we get an idea of the wind speed?

 

I wouldn't worry about that right now as intensity is tough to forecast, it really depends on how much shear, dry air etc it has to deal with I think strong Cat 1 or Cat 2 is a good assumption at this point.

The upper winds will probably go southeasterly at that point but the ULL could easily force strong divergence and upper dynamics over it and cause a hybrid situation. Either way, this situation ia looking dire in terma of extreme rainfalls and potentially destructive winds.

One thing the media hasn't been mentioning is how much the rain ahead of the storm will increase tree damage.

Floyd only gave us TS winds, but it looked like a bomb went off the morning after thanks to 10" of rain in advance.

Folks, if you think you are will be in the path, if you have had power issues with even the most basic storm , book a hotel NOW for Sunday thru Friday. Book it now, right now, before the hotels institute a no cancel policy. Best case scenario you call them Saturday AM and cancel. Use the info from this site to your advantage!

So if a plane went in at 7:30 this evening, what's the typical eta to have the data released as far as the wind speed goes? The 11pm update most likely?

 

you can watch it live actually on a number of different sources.......any major changes would be in the 8pm update but its not bombing or anything so they will wait to make any changes at 11 IMO.

 

Well I may have been wrong latest info suggest some deepening :o

 

700mb extrap pressure is 949.9mb, 98kt flight level/88kt SFMR NW quad,  102kt SFMR SE quad (not to peak Flight level winds in SE quad yet)

Thank you two for the info :) my wife hates it when I become obsessed with tracking haha! Now that I can see real time info from the planes, I'll tell her to thank y'all. I work night shift in Brunswick county NC hospital on the weekends so I'm hoping for a night off because of the storm team having to work.
