Solak Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Levi Cowan @TropicalTidbits 6m6 minutes ago First recon pass into #Irma found a pressure near ~958mb with estimated surface winds of 113mph in the NE eyewall. This is a powerful storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 The models seem to be a little to deep into the Bahamas you would expect that turn to be a bit smoother given the steering....if it ran as modeled that would pretty much be worse case path and strength for the Bahamas...its almost as if the GFS tried to make sure it hit all the islands with the core....

downeastnc Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 LOL 879 MB at 198 looks to be about to wipe out the entire coast of NC, looks close to the 00Z Euro run from last night.....did I mention it has it at 879 MB lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This run would be pretty much worst case for MBY....Emerald Isle would probably be totally erased as would most of the beaches all the way to ILM....That landfall point is 68 miles south of my house. I would miss the center too the next frame is probably just west of me I would be on the east side of the center in the eyewall the entire time....no bueno.

TPAwx Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I'm a block from the Bay and therefore in evac zone A, if it gets to that point, but as a FLA newbie have no idea if that's the same with an East approach? This is going to be a nightmare for emergency management efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packbacker Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 18z GEFS has 2 member's on the op track, roughly, but every other is well west. Rest landfall into FL/GA/SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest landfall into FL/GA/SC. Yeah but that worries me too, just about every storm that hit here was "suppose" to hit there and the landfall point just kept moving up from Fl to Ga to SC etc.....still 2-3 days worth of model runs before we get into the 5 days range so it should move around some, I will be shocked if we dont get a few runs with Hugo type hits for SC etc. Hell if this thing is on the GFS track 100 miles off NC coast Monday headed this way it still isnt a lock to hit, I have seen them scoot east at the last second many times.....

Yep...agree. I thought I would see the ensemble mean drift a little to the east. It's only 6 days away from being on FL's doorstep, that's a long time for things to change but models should have some skill at day 6. Both ensembles spit out of lot of landfalling members even with this subtle differences and seem to be in sync, relative, with the track of Irma.

mackerel_sky Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 The track on the gefs, is really not a Hugo like track. Hugo came in almost from due east to west, maybe Ese to WNW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I would be in the eastern eyewall on that run. The devastation would run from ILM all the way to Morehead and inland to Richmond.

So very true with both statements. It's like the norm preceeding every Carolina threat. Let's pray this thing finds a way to scoot east. These north turns where it just slams on brakes and goes 90 degrees right aren't the norm. Usually it's more gradual, curvature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Crushes the Keys this run and is a cat 5 heading for Homestead/Miami from the south.

Getting harder for Irma to miss landfalling on PR, The Shredder or Cuba and South Florida before heading pole ward per model trends , espeacilly ensembles. Can always reverse but this trend has been stepping in this direction for past 3 to 4 cycles now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
