MillvilleWx Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Just now, mappy said: NHC seems to be not as gung ho on that happening. Doesn't have it reaching hurricane status for 24hrs. However, their 5am discussion did mention that RI was possible, but for now would keep with their lower consensus to maintain continuity from previous discussion. Oh. I absolutely agree on the maintaining continuity. That is a must in the world of forecasting, if possible, or anything of this nature. I was just saying the ingredients are coming together really well right now and I'd be surprised if late morning recon doesn't start seeing something very close to, if not at minimum hurricane intensity. Even if it isn't there yet, man on man tonight through tomorrow is going to be something else. The perfect RI scenario is setting up right now.

mappy Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Like WW007 said, only thing that kills Harvey now, is Harvey. Hopefully the people from Corpus Christie to Houston are making preparations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got evacs for some of my forecast sites into Southern Texas now. Told them they need to get out now. No time to mess with this system.

H2O Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 This has an Andrew type feel with a quick bomb right before hitting. not saying it will go CAT 5 at all but any sort of RI prior to landfall will make the effects that much worse since it is then forecast to stall.

Andrew was a buzzsaw for quite a while though. The scary RI scenario is probably Charley, except bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely feel more comfortable commenting here, although I read the tropical thread. Then again, some of the posts in that thread should make me feel confident about posting there... I mean, I am not sure I can match the value in this: Quote Im currently in Greece on vacation so tracking this from afar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 14 minutes ago, WxWatcher007 said: Any early thoughts on 92L? I have barely looked at the situation, but my thought would be that a landfalling mid-atlantic system is such a unique climatological occurrence that the chances are usually fairly well known in advance because the large-scale setup has to be pretty specific. The fact that it is the CMC on an island gives me little faith in that solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lose all ability to function as a regular human when something pops even though I know it will inevitably pass on me like Sandra Davis at my high school prom. DON'T FAULT ME FOR BEING ON EDGE. 3-5' of rain and 6-8 TORs or bust. GEFS and EPS favor a remnant track up the TN valley. The tricky part is how it gets there. If the storm re-renters the gulf and makes a second landfall in the LA area then it could actually bring decent to significant impacts to our region. If it stays over land and wallows around before heading north then things would be much more tame. You know which scenario I'm rooting for...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
