Major Hurricane Irma

Recommended Posts

This hurricane has that "skunked" post ERC look to it to me, right now......perhaps that eventually changes, but often times it doesn't once the colder cloud tops within the CDO begin to take on that shredded look.

Often times we wait the rest of its life cycle for that window when it recaptures that rigor, and it just never quite materializes-

Don't get me wrong....I'm not saying its falling apart, but I am doubting a reclassification to a cat 5, assuming it is downgraded, which it should be.


The first issue with that is the ERC is still ongoing.

So it's supposed wheelhouse is handling troughs, and it mishandled the trough.  Amazing how people, time after time, are willing to give the NAM the benefit of the doubt.  Euro has had this all along.

Exactly.  For best practices with tropical systems, just act as though the NAM doesn't exist.

Less impressive, sure, but skunked seems excessive.

Everything is relative.

 

More land interaction has resulted in a weaker system this run of the EURO.

Kind of surprised. I thought the same, but really didn't take too much of a toll on the end result for Keys. Slightly weaker in pressure, but winds were fairly consistent. Splitting hairs at a few mph. Horrendous run for MTH and entire island chain. Miami I'm sure would take this and run. Feel bad for Keys though. 

Edit: Actually deepened further as it entered the Florida Bay. That's got the warmest waters in all the Eastern Gulf area. 90-92 degrees. Horrible run for Naples
