BoricuaMD Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 9 minutes ago, jbenedet said: Yes.."expectations" Say what you will, but that is impressive based on how far away Miami currently is from the CoC. Understood, however this thread has been amazing helpful during the past week. Just the media porn around Miami/Miami Beach is a bit exhausting. The storm has missed Miami, the people on the west coast need the attention and expertise of the participants here. Same with the media, I wish CNN would actually focus on the areas that will need help and stop turning on their cameras for semi-staged Miami Beach shots on Ocean Drive where a few hotels are open/functioning and serving them breakfast and coffee. also I edited my original post it's not even cat 1 level here, it's tropical storm 45-60 mph wind bursts. For locals, it's a huge relief and wouldn't have shut down the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably has something to do with being an ASOS record and not manual. Check that-- old record was in 1948. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Florida covers a little over 53,000 sq miles, it has 67 counties. Only the three western most counties app 1600 sq miles are not under a HW or TS warning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been through every storm in Miami Beach since the 90s. This is absolutely nothing, I just went to the convenience store in the lobby of my building which was closed yesterday. Street level is just short bursts of wind every 10-15 minutes and mostly just light rain otherwise. Tropical storm stuff. Let us hope this thing dies down to a Category 3 quickly for those on the west coast. Not babble about Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to have surprised the mets discussing it too, but the one replying is a NWS employee in SW FL so one would hope he's looking at the right records. No guarantee of course.

Nice balance to the massive devastation incoming bombs away crowd posting from far away. Really happy to see MIA and vicinity escape some of the scenarios painted by the models a few days ago. You could have been waking up to a much different situation if not for different evolution of the steering pattern. Be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pressure of 892 would absolutely transfer sub 900 or around there 60 miles away. Not even close. Storms like that have a very steep pressure gradient. See Patricia. Back to the storm at hand, GOES16 showing some slight clearing of the eye after filling for the last hour. EDIT: Although Eek's radar grab would seem to belie that.

dan11295 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I am guessing top winds might drop down to ~120 mph by time it gets to Naples, between large wind field and shear/dry air, thought I agree it is looking somewhat better on IR. Should note the dry air starting to impact the NW quad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
