Random Chaos Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 This has to be the best the hurricane has looked since entering radar; though satellite still isn't that great. Eye finally looks closed off, and vigorous convection spiraling out from it.

NYCGreg Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 There is still a lot of convection blowing up around the center. Clearly the storm stalled in a favorable enough spot to keep it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthfully, they're being generous. It is more likely to have sustained winds of 80-85 MPH based on the SFMR data from this last recon flight. Despite a mid 950s MB pressure the wind field so broad/diffuse that there isn't enough of a gradient to get higher winds. The system certainly does have a higher gust component than some other canes we've tracked. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From 11 pm discussion Radar imagery and data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter flight indicate that Florence has an inner eye that is open on the east side, and a secondary wind maximum that has already begun to spread inland across southeastern North Carolina. The highest flight-level wind (102 kt) was actually measured within the outer band that is moving onshore in the Wilmington area. However, the highest SFMR-measured wind was 73 kt, and the highest land observation so far was a sustained wind of 72 kt at Cape Lookout, North Carolina. On top of that, NOAA Doppler radar velocities have been running around 100 kt at about 5,000 feet. All of these data support reducing the initial intensity to 80 kt, but based on the higher flight-level winds, the gust factor is being set a little higher than is typical for an 80-kt hurricane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be kind of weird if the landfall wind speed ends up being less than the maximum sustained wind that has already been observed (82 mph Cape Lookout), but I guess that can happen in situations like this with a prolonged slowdown near a coast.

NYCGreg Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 The convection to the NW side of the center is crazy now. Really blowing up. For a Category 1 storm, this thing is packing quite a punch. I think it's what they said - it's distributing its energy in different ways rather than increasing winds. It's telling that the pressure hasn't dropped at all in a while. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 As it moves further inland you also have more deciduous trees or evergreens than at the coast where there are lots of palms. Those will easily go down with 60-70mph winds and saturated ground. A cat 1 in NC does alot more damage in NC than it does in Florida because mostly palms there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our ground here in east NC is over saturated. My main concern is the tree damage to property and electrical grid in rural counties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
