Stebo Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Definitely closer to Florida this run compared to 00/06z runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover74 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Will need a sharp northward turn at 96 to avoid FL this run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwx85 Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Close to a worse case scenario, with MIA, FLL and PBI all experiencing the NW and then Western eyewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OUGrad05 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 12Z has put the brakes on Irma big time as she approaches FL and the Bahamas...damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatamy Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 In addition to his many exploits Richard Branson can now claim to have experienced the eye of a Category 5 hurricane. Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands where he is hunkered down is right in the eye at this time per San Juan radar. The next island to get the eye of the storm will be Tortola, then St. Johns and St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also climatologically a place where storms have intensified. Notably, it has some of the deepest warm water in the Atlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 And it's going to take the ride right up I-95 this run, look how far inland the strong winds make it. As a reminder these are 10m winds, not 850mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriPol Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Just crawling up Florida's east coast. This is a terrible, terrible run for anyone in the Gold Coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwx85 Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Picking up forward speed now, looks destined for Savannah. Look how that ridge builds over the Western Atlantic and shoves this West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanskip Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 That run is close to worst case -- SE coast of FL gets the eyewall, but the storm doesn't lose any punch so when it strike further north it's still a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportybx Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Pretty big shift west from the last run . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Even Orlando would likely experience Hurricane force wind gusts if this verified. The track also keeps the core offshore enough that Irma should be able to sustain itself longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdgwx Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 The upper level jet streak tugging on Irma at hour 96 is more potent on this run. The entry is about 80-90 kts at 200mb on the 12Z cycle instead of 70-80 kts on the 6Z cycle. The low over Missouri is further north and closes off faster.

The shift was actually quite small (about 0.5° longitude) and well within the envelope of uncertainty on a run-to-run basis. Bottom line: Florida to South Carolina remain at the highest risk of U.S. landfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? That run was basically exactly what their forecast showed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwx85 Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 By the time the ridge breaks down it's too late. Second LF near the GA/SC border as a powerful hurricane. I am assuming that LF occurs initially somewhere in SE FL, but it's very hard to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psv88 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 2 minutes ago, Sportybx said: Last run had it brushing the south east coast . This run had it coming up north from southern florida . So in my eyes if something is going to make a direct hit and not brush off of something m thats a good size shift west . Yea, I agree with you. In the context of the effects on the MIA/FLL area, it was a sizeable shift west in that it negated any thoughts of an "east trend." I was hoping to see another shift east, but it was not to be.
