It looks poised to strengthen more.. outflow is awesome at the moment. It could still get cat 5 perhaps. It's been sitting but that water is warm pretty deep.

Ian although the water is bathtub warm in that region isn't still relatively shallow that close to land? I would think it's very slow movement and shallow water depth would allow for a lot of mixing/upwelling to take place perhaps capping it's max intensity. Wouldn't one rather see it moving slowly over gulf waters offshore if max intensity were to be reached?

Thanks

The region of the Bahamas the core is over right now is deeper than 500 meters. That location also has a deep 26º isotherm as well; 75 meters down. I'm sure it is upwelling, but the eyewall would have to sit over the same location for longer than it is currently forecasted and modeled to be there.

Pretty sure the water east of the Bahamas where the hurricane is currently is very deep

Yeah, the GEFS have trended away from the recurve idea. NE US may need to watch this judging by the hurricane model trends.

I wouldn't say that. There are a handful of SE/MA landfalls, but also a lot of those by obx are the ull. Still a big group ots.

Gym, I think the most interesting part of the 12/18z comparison is the quite noticeable shift away from the NE jog as the storm starts gaining latitude.

Not saying it means anything other than potentially a shift in early track guidance. The storm is a damn beast right now. It will do whatever it wants. Lol.
