Windspeed Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 If you load the most recent NHC satellite loop and put a ruler along the eyes path since the nassau area and follow it on its current heading, it would not make landfall.Noted. Now let's see if the trend continues for several more hours or if the primary eyewall begins getting pulled with mass displacement more NW in the same direction that clearly the western outer band motion is currently moving.

A ruler? It's clearly moving NW right now and would LF in Florida if it stays this path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the MIAMI radar.... Ok ok sorry, almost parallel (to the upper east coast i.e. Melbourne, Daytona Beach, not the Miami area). Definitely NNW though. Calm down.

wxmx Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 10 minutes ago, HKY_WX said: Not sure this is any type of eyewall replacement cycle, but more of a reorganization. The hurricane has clearly been under some slight shear/dry air and the CDO was lopsided. The latest satellite/radar shows it working out the dry air and improving organization. Perhaps some of the islands have played an impact as well. Also these posts claiming every wobble north means no landfall are clueless. The storm is right on track. Oh, but this is clearly an ERC...many signals point to that. The 2nd wind maxima is clear on recon obs, the radar moat and the sinking air around the inner eyewall shown earlier in sat imagery are clear as the day. Right now the outer eyewall is visibly shrinking as shown on radar, and the inner eyewall is giving the good fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Smith Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Jogs in path are consistent with solar-lunar tidal forces which could produce 25-50 nm deviations from a smooth path. Sunset is around 23z and moonset 04z with the moon almost at its transit (overhead or high to south). Hence the net eastward pull on Matthew peaked around two hours ago, the net westward pull comes around 8-10 hours from now, or just as Matthew is approaching Florida. That will correct the deviation from the NW track but I don't expect any heading less than 310 deg, my prediction is a semi-landfall at Cape Canaveral with the eye just about all over land briefly then back into the coastal waters due to the shape of the coastline with the western half of the eye on land all the way to Atlantic Beach.

Dunkman Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Just a couple quality of life tips. First, if you stare at a radar loop of a tropical cyclone long enough you'll start hallucinating. They rarely move in a straight line, often it's more like stair steps. Or at least a bumpy road. When in doubt rely on fixes from recon. Also, winds are strongest in the NE quadrant. A NW to SE pass usually won't sample the strongest winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind this fix was thru the weakest part of the eyewall, so it isn't really a good indication of the storms max potential winds attm.

jojo762 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 It's still certainly on track for east central/north east Florida, in my eyes, as well as the NHC's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
