gymengineer Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Orleans parish at 70% outage now. Once again (happened with Delta too), a rainless south side of a halfacane delivers on the winds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense the water would rise fast in a quick moving storm. In my town during Sandy the water rose VERY fast as the storm was still moving NW at 25 mph into Atlantic City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the dry slot may pack a punch well after the precipitating core has move away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I had a friend get some decent eye pics. I’ll try and send those through in a couple minutes. Worst storm he’s seen in New Orleans in the past three years. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured SW MS would gettting some strong winds being in the SE quad, especially once it intensified. With the fast movement this is going to be a fairly significant inland wind event as well ( as has been talked about). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Cat 1 hurricane would not likely be generating 90+ mph gusts in numerous sites 4 hours after landfall across a west to east swath of coastline. Yes, the strengthening was key. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderately Unstable Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 It's a closed circulation. There will be winds on the backside, there sure were for Isaias and I have video of it. They won't show on radar. Radar relies on bouncing off water droplets and inferring vectors based on the returns. No rain, no return velocities. Does not mean there are not winds in the trunk. Weaker bc subtracting the speed of the storm instead of adding & no mix down from aloft. 40-60 is likely inland on back. MU 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MU We had plenty of wind here on the right side of Isaias with only a few showers total east of the center with hundreds of thousands of power outages/trees down, strong winds behind Irene 2011 with the sun coming out, etc. Sometimes the winds behind the center even without rain can be as strong as the front end. Up here the dry air and rapidly increasing pressure have something to do with it usually. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderately Unstable Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 The slower phasing of the mid latitude low than forecast seems to have ended up reducing shear and instead helped to enhance upper level divergence. This baroclinic interaction seems to be responsible for why we saw such rapid strengthening today despite marginal water temps. Looking at the totality of data coming in, I think this will be post mortem upgraded to cat 3. I'm in disbelief. It has held together well as it travels inland as well. It's weakening but frankly not as fast as you'd perhaps think. It's still firing -80 degree convection in a symmetrical fashion OVER LAND. It made landfall 4 hours ago. Doesn't it know it's not over an ocean??? Talk about exceeding expectations. Who had Cat 3 landfalling end of October hurricane in NOLA on their 2020 bingo card?

Wxpert55 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Just lost the entire Tin roof off my shed here in Mobile AL.. And I think someone outside our yacht club is stuck in their car on dog river bridge or something like that... Which means our boats right there in Turner marine are probably floating away.

CheeselandSkies Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 4 hours ago, hlcater said: Most north moving gulf storms have weak/non-existent south sides. I remember when people thought Michael was remarkable because it was the exception to the rule. Not only that, take a look at environment/synoptics and a half-a-cane absolutely makes sense. The interesting thing about Zeta and also Sally from earlier this year was that the "half-a-cane" structure was really only apparent on radar. The IR and visible presentations looked quite vigorous all the way around, in contrast to storms like Katrina and Irma (for its Marco Island landfall) where the back sides became noticeably degraded on satellite in the last hours before landfall.
