dan11295 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 That long radar loop shows Matthew heading a bit W of due north during the past couple of hours. Might just be a wobble or could be the start of the NW turn. Next few hours might be tricky wrt movement though as it is interacting with land again.

Hey - its the NAVGEM but ... I need to get off and Skype with my son in Japan in a little while; the NAVGEM is not loading for me yet. What do the winds look like on what you're seeing, north of Orlando up to the GA line? "Slams" has me concerned inland (even with the NAVGEM). Can you let me know soon?

Jtm12180 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 OK, I try to just read on here but have had a burning question on here all day. Numerous people have mentioned this storm exploding over the Bahamas. Why has nobody in the public media mentioned this? All they keep saying is it will weaken as it approaches the southeast. Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you in advance! This isn't true. There have been numerous people, especially at TWC, that have talked about strengthening being definitely possible over the Bahamas. Presumably those you are referring to do not want to be sensationalists, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windspeed Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 OK, I try to just read on here but have had a burning question on here all day. Numerous people have mentioned this storm exploding over the Bahamas. Why has nobody in the public media mentioned this? All they keep saying is it will weaken as it approaches the southeast. Thank you in advance!The hurricane will initially have very favorable upper atmospheric support as it traverses the Bahamas with high SSTs. However, upper level SW flow will begin occurring and strengthen late in the forecast period. Aside from the media, the hurricane probably will be under SW shear north of the Bahamas. A more western and faster NW track increases the likely- hood the hurricane will be much stronger at landfall and possibly still a major hurricane.A slower and more northern landfall will probably be a weaker hurricane. But it's still early and perhaps the forecast upper pattern remains favorable longer even when/if the hurricane is further up the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Even 50K winds are bad - just went through 5 days with no power with the one last month with winds in that range - so glad the Skype is tonight! Thanks so much for the detail!!!!

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 22 minutes ago, Master of Disaster said: Then throw in the fact that not one but three towers have been proposed in Miami 2 of which will exceed 1000 feet and the current highest tower, 4 seasons is 780 feet. I was under the impression the FAA limited tower heights in Miami due to path restrictions to Miami International however it appears they removed any restrictions allowing for 1000 or higher behemoths to be built in probably the most high risk hurricane zone in the country. Non issue: with modern construction. Just look at Taiwan. Taipei 101 is 1400' plus and has been hit by some serious typhoons since its completion years ago with no damage. Miami though hurricane prone doesn't hold a candle to Taiwan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with the Euro. And now the GFS is caving toward that solution. This thing will hopefully be a nonevent for the Carolinas. Suits me perfectly. I don't want wind and rain up here. How many changes have we had with the models since last night? You can't ignore that either. I guess if a model spits out so many different solutions it is bound to get close to right with one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkman Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Usually when I've seen sfmr that anomalous it's because they were over land. On my phone right now so I can't see the actual plots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Smith Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Regarding the very strong wind report, wondering if the position of the strong side of Matthew in the Jamaica Channel between two mountainous points could lead to topographic channelling similar to what we see on the Pacific coast during intense winter storms. It may be a temporary anomaly but a sign that Matthew is just basically unstoppable on this track and redistributing its energy; my hunch is that it will drop to mid-cat 3 at some point 3-9 hours from now but recover to cat-4 fairly quickly.

wxeyeNH Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Looking at the last few IR frames it looks like Matthew seems to have temporarily stalled with the eye right on the east tip of Cuba.
