Recon is heading back in. Storm overall looks better, but I am interested in the state of the eyewall. Based on microwave imagery it appeared to be trying to undergo a ERC, and the recon fix should confirm progress, if any. Supporting this, a clear eye has disappeared despite overall organization of the storm increasing and cloud tops cooling. The current eye is ragged and clouded with strongest convection not directly near it attm.

Now, unless im mistaken, when a new model run starts, shouldn't the 00 pressure match if not be semi close to what the current presssures are with the hurricane? looking at some stuff like gfs some runs having pressures way high?  the hurricane models seem to have the most realistic pressures at least to start.im probably not understanding it correctly.

It's a resolution issue. The global's don't have enough resolution to handle it. Tropical Tidbits has a surface pressure that is full res with the GFS, so it does better.

Was living on Ortega Forest Drive - not far from you. We rowed a john boat from just south of Stockton School where the canal is right up Roosevelt Blvd., all the way to the Roosevelt Bridge; the whole  road was under water. In that low area, no you don't want it near you (but think of San Marco).

Yeah.  Hoping this west trend dies a quick death.

That angle is brutal too, would push so much water up the Pamlico/Neuse River systems, would nail all the major beaches from ILM, Wrightsville up to Topsail then the New River at Jacksonville, and then put Emerald Isle/Atlantic Beach of the most populated islands on our coast in the north eyewall.....then nail Hatteras to KDH.....really just about the worst case for the coast and still it would get far enough inland to get my city and several other larger inland areas....
