Down to 993-994 MB with a partial eyewall forming. FL winds up to 66 knots but SFMR values haven't caught up yet.

Just measured a 71 knot FL wind - up from 66 knots last pass. SFMR values still low so it looks like surface winds haven't responded too much yet.

Models keep see-sawing east to west with the track.  I wouldn't be surprised to see it move back west a little bit, especially after landfall...

Also, I think winds to the NW will be amplified due to the interaction with the front/trough and increased pressure gradient on that side.  Whoever gets a lot of rain will not need much wind to cause problems.  (trees, power outages, etc...)  All the way up the east coast.

I'd say we now have a 65 MPH tropical storm. Dropsondes over the past hour confirm that the 65-70+ knot winds at 850 millibars aren't mixing down particularly well to the surface yet. If we continue to see a pressure drop this morning I wouldn't be surprised to see surface winds quickly uptick at some point based on past systems.

It jogged back north a tad on that last fix. If this thing can wrap more convection around the west side of the center, watch out

The 10Z HRRR seems to show that small trend as well. It has landfall around 03Z tonight as a 981MB hurricane. It has done well with the pressure drops overnight and associated development.

NASA Drone about to drop a dropsonde into center of Hermine. That thing has been extremely useful over the last two weeks. Good gap-fill until we get the AF flight in about two hours. 

Nasa drone? You have any links or info on this, it sounds pretty dam cool!

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the 12z models come back further west with this system again. Seems like the storm center has wobbled slightly to the NNW, which may cause yet another track adjustment. I'd also watch to see how well Hermine can get convection going on its northern and western sides over the next few hours, which it seems to be starting to do. Once it becomes more symmetrical, Hermine should be clear to strengthen more or less until landfall. I think a moderate cat 1 to weak cat 2 landfall is very possible at this point, and especially so on the higher end if current trends continue.

At some point you just have to stop staring at model data and just follow the trends with the data. I think we're just about to that point. Who cares what models say about intensity over the next 12 hours until landfall? We have aircraft, 1 minute satellite data, and surface observations. It's time to sit back and just observe the trends as we progress through the day.

Question about the reliability of the HWRF (988 mb at landfall) and GFDL (968 mb) on intensity forecasts? Reliable? Toss 'em? 

Not great but cannot be ignored. The fact the GFDL has 968mb, toss that one, but the HWRF while having a poor track record with this system, seems reasonable

This....all day. We've modeled this to death, it's just time to sit back and monitor trends.

And almost none bring it up to hurricane strength.

Something about that graphic seems very wrong... Notice that the OFCI line doesn't go above the cat 1 mark, but clearly the NHC has this storm reaching hurricane strength.

 

Regardless, David Reimer is right. It's more important to look at what the system's actually doing at this point then looking at what the models say it will do.
