Yes. In the last 4mb the wind speed increased, indicating it was a gust. 4mb above the surface it was 112kt. At 5mb above the surface it is 117kt. With friction this is likely 110kt at the surface. You can't take the dropsondes verbatim every time since this one shows a pretty classic signature of a gust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably completes transition to purely extratropical and begins redepening that way, while not necessarily restrengthening(could be just expanding). Although I haven't looked at the euro. I'm just making a call based on current presentation and what's forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also shows it restrengthening as it makes its loop back to the west. LOL. GFS seems much more believeable than the euro with its handling of Jose at this point imo.

MJO812 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Jose is still around the U.S at 162 hours and coming back west towards the coast. Maria looks to go OTS on this run due to Jose being there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovintheWhiteFluff Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 GFS has Jose weakening to the point that the ridging can build back up. The Euro has it much stronger and gives Maria an exit lane. Just going to have to see what happens to Jose in the next 24 to 48 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windspeed Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 As long as the ECMWF continues to evolve and deepen a post-tropical/hybrid mid-level storm out of Jose and lock it down in the same general region off the Mid-Atlantic and New England coast, it will continue to funnel mid-level steering in an OTS solution for Maria. Until we see it either go back to modeling a much weaker and filled/dissipated remnant of Jose's 500mb vort or kick it out altogether, modeled landfall for Maria is unlikely. I do think it is overdoing the intensity of 500mb cold core baroclinic forcing. I think a more likely solution is the ECMWF's earlier runs showing strong filling of heights and a build back of ridging. That still doesn't mean landfall, but a close call versus sharp OTS. Still a long way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggy Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 So basically the euro from the other night filled Jose in and ran Maria right into NC on a steady NW motion. The GFS was stronger and took Jose further south towards bermuda and ejected maria out to sea. It seems as if the two models have swapped solutions for the time being.

SnoSki14 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I call BS on that Euro run, there's no extra energy that's pumping up Jose, he's already weakening quickly and will soon be north of the gulf stream. Gfs has done a better job track wise with Jose, Euro kept bringing him too far west. Gfs probably has the right idea at least through day 5.

hawkeye_wx Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I sure wish we didn't have to wait until evening for the next recon measurements. The eye has popped and cleared very quickly, with a very intense ring around it. The eye has shown significant motion toward the nw the last couple hours. Wobble or not, that could put the worst on the northern coast of Dominica rather than the sw, where the capital is. Most of Guadeloupe's population is in the central to north part of the island(s), but there is also a decent population center on the sw corner, which could take a big hit if Maria tracks far enough north. Worst case would be the eye tracking into the middle of Guadeloupe, but that's probably too far north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
