Hurricane Ian

Ian has a large circulation which sometimes take longer to wrap up. This could be a decent sized windfield once it gets going. I would go with the Euro for track (for obvious reasons). This will be a very costly track if most of western FL (TB and south) is in the eastern flank.

12Z ICON: goes to Jacksonville, which is 100+ miles east of the 6Z and 0Z runs.

Big difference in ICON 12z yesterday (top) vs 12z today (bottom) is a faster Ian and a slightly sharper trough. Wonder if new data ingested yesterday caused the shift to the east. Will be curious what other 12z models show.

As I stated before I went to sleep in the wee hours of the morning, I still favor the EURO solution only because it keeps Ian less organized in the short term, which seems likely because of Ian's current disorganization. 

The models further west like the GFS and similar members, all have Ian basically sub 980-mb by late tonight or the wee hours of tomorrow. That just doesn't seem realistic to me given the current state of organization.

Maybe I’m just a super weenie nobody experienced wants to respond to but I was hoping for some responses from the Ian to Tampa crowd from my post in the banter thread, I posted it over there to not clutter over here, but it seems a lot of calling for a hurricane to a place that hasn’t been hit with one in 100 years. The odds just don’t seem likely

It’s turning north.

Looks like first outer bands are gonna start hitting Southeast Florida by this afternoon or evening. 
 

Rosh Hoshanah is coming. I’ll be offline all the way until Tuesday night. By then we might be having a full blown hurricane, if it keeps trending east. 
 

im gonna keep my weather radio on so I won’t be taken by surprise. 
 

notably, Rosh Hoshanah is judgement day. What timing for a hurricane with such an uncertain forecast.

The Isle of Youth is a good benchmark for which part of the Peninsula deals with this I think.  Any track west means Tampa and north.  Any track over or east means SE/SW FL.  Still not sold on Panhandle whatsoever (and GFS seems to moving away from that idea also).

12Z UKMET initialized one degree further north (15.3 N at 8AM EDT vs 14.3 N at same time on 0Z run). It ends up ~20 miles north of the Port Charlotte 0Z landfall point, which is Venice (~60 miles south of Tampa Bay). Another difference vs 0Z is that it never goes offshore N FL/S GA as it stays a little inland:

GFS position later this afternoon is still S of the current position. I'd be surprised if the GFS doesn't have further corrections in later runs. 

GFS is actually showing a center jump to the west between 00z and 06z.  Looks suspect.

Ian's appearance on satellite looks to be improving.

 I agree as it looks the most organized (most stacked) yet imho. Thus, this could be on the verge of intensifying rapidly. This is my first comment on its organization since it got into the Caribbean.

Clearwater and St. Pete at least looks in the right side passing, if not worse. @Dbullsfan22 I'm already looking for non-met friends down there; otherwise, the Board normally does not do that type of forecast. 

Jim Cantore in Clearwater today and never a good sign to see Jim in your neighborhood

Some of these models show 40 mb of weakening in six hours prior to landfall. That would be insane.

I don't know, I can see it happening. Its highly unusually to have such a cold and dry airmass this far south with a Hurricane right at the coast.  If that airmass gets in the way of Ian I can see rapid weakening occur as cP is like fire retardant to a Hurricane without thermal wind/jet support to interact with and introduce baraclonicity a la Fiona. Its just plowing directly into the backside polar high.

Yea im very perplexed as to why convection isn't really taking off

My theory is there are multiple mid and low level circulations and elongations that are competing and interfering with one another and things just aren't stacking.  Models do an extremely poor job on this scale too. This seems to have been a problem for the past 2 days.
