Windspeed Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 Linda is a sheared cyclone, no doubt. But how on Earth is that not a classified TC? It has a closed low level vortex and ASCAT has TS and Gale force winds. Also, Linda has produced nice bursts of convection over the LLC the past 24 hours. Boggles the mind...

It's been having bursts of convection more often than not over the past 72 hours. It's absolutely a TC. Barely, but sometimes barely is all you need.

Windspeed Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 Hurricane Olaf has developed the dreaded pinehole eye and is forecast by the NHC to get dangerously close to Cabo San Lucas tomorrow. Hope this does not rapidly intensify prior to any land interaction there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Eye doesn't look good at the moment on satellite, but it is still closed per Cabo radar, and the Northern eyewall is pulsing w/ cold cloud tops. He may get some eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Olaf is flexing on IR tonight. Cleared out a nice eye and much more symmetrical convective pattern around the center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 Olafs' eyewall looks to be intensifying right into landfall here. Cabo San Lucas is definitely in for a wild night / morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 Definitely going to be their worst hit since Odile. Of course Odile was a Category 4. But this will still pack quite a punch being a strengthening cyclone. Interesting to see what Josh samples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Pamela really seems to be struggling with some westerly shear and dry air. You can see outflow boundaries from collapsing storms on the NW side and cloud tops are definitely being sheared from the west. Hurricane hunters will be in the storm later today and I’m wondering if they will find more shear is present than being analyzed at the moment. Definitely not the sexy hurricane I was expecting that we’d seen on models over previous few days. NHC continues to advertise the storm being near major hurricane status at landfall but I’m seriously doubtful looking at the presentation this morning and the fact this thing is about to be ejected to the NE. Likely to be a half-a-cane regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not going to say there’s a 0% chance being it’s over bathtub water, but it’s less than 10% this thing gets even close to major imo. Heck, it’s entire center of circulation is now exposed and recon’s first pass has a small area of stronger winds well away from the center. It’s definitely not strengthening and if anything has weakened since overnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Pretty sure this is going to be downgraded to a TS based on recon at next advisory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intensewind002 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Pretty bad intensity forecast wise from most models across the board with Pamela this past week. I remember everyone thinking this could be a Cat 4 landfall not too long ago, now it’ll probably be a Cat 2 at highest possible intensity, and even that is a long shot, although I’m sure a lot of people on the west coast of mexico are happy they didn’t get a patricia redux 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHIPS had a very high chance of RI even 24 hours ago for the present time. Seems everything underestimated the north, NW shear. That being said, the system has a vigorous circulation and with shear vector improving and bath tub water beneath it this should still be a strengthing hurricane through LF though it will definitely be a half-a-cane and 85 kts seems like a reasonable ceiling, which is far less than what it seemed most of the week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I know no one is following this thread but this could be one of the worst landfalling intensity busts in recent memory. Forecasting a 120 mph hurricane and noting it could be higher and realizing a TS-minimal hurricane would be a nightmare for publicity if this was happening in the US inside 36 hours. I know intensity forecasts are tough, but yikes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florence slowed down to a crawl which meant it’s intensity was not sustainable over shelf waters but it became one of the most damaging storms in history due to that slow speed. Also, it at least attained and maintained cat 4 multiple times. Pamela made it to 70 kts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Not quite a 1994 East Pac Hurricane Rosa's mid-level center crossing over a very shallow cold air mass with flow off the Gulf just off the surface and raining so much the San Jacinto river in Houston gouged itself deep enough to uncover and rupture gasoline and diesel pipelines and set the river on fire, but SW flow is bringing Pamela's remnants up along a stationary boundary with seasonably high 60s/low 70s dewpoints ahead of it, prompting WPC to put the areas near and W of I-35 in a Moderate Risk for excessive flooding with 5-7 inch rain totals. One picture is the San Jacinto river on fire, the other is the stationary front the ML center of Pam should track over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the Florence archive, it was only forecasted to be a Cat 4 at landfall before the stall was a factor. After it started showing up on model runs, it was lowered to Cat 3 and eventually 2, (i honestly think it might have been a 85 kt hurricane at landfall). Plus the intensity had no effect on the severe flooding that you guys experienced 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 NHC is forecasting a Category 3 landfall for Hurricane Rick. But the core looks to be in a favorable environment for some beefy rapid intensity gains over the next 24 hours. Leaning towards Rick being a Category 4 landfall near or between Lázaro Cárdenas and Zihautanejo. Hopefully not a direct hit on either city. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
