WxSynopsisDavid Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Looking at the 00z HWRF it has Ian as a powerful Cat 4 west of Tampa, bombs to 945mb. Landfalls on Waccasassa Bay State Preserve as 963mb Cat 3. Windfield even expands again right on landfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A southwest wind funding water into the bay creating a 8+ foot storm surge versus a North East wind blowing water out of the bay. Makes a huge difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotair Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I’ll take a Sarasota landing from these latest runs at this point. Especially if it comes in along near empty corridors and stays inland I mean it’s going to be a terrible storm any way you slice it. Might as well spare High cat 3 winds into Tampa Bay which has the highest population center of the entire west coast region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeWinds Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Very similar agreement on track between GFS and Euro. Euro is 24 hrs to get from landfall to Orlando. Wow. Drops a few lollipops of 30" Temple Terrace to Zephyrhills. Would be surprised if NHC doesn't adjust to at least I-4 corridor track next update.

MillvilleWx Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Posted this in the Mid Atlantic Thread: 2 minutes ago, MillvilleWx said: Well, it finally happened. My parents moved into their new home near Sarasota (15 miles inland) and will be evacuating tomorrow to Ft Lauderdale. Looks like they will take a hit head on for their area. Their house is a fortress, so not too concerned about its integrity, but it'll certainly be an unwelcomed present. They moved in back in early May after getting it built near Lakewood Ranch. Tough intro to living down their permanently. Hopefully everything is okay when they get back. I've been working midnight shifts and keeping tabs on the storm. I was staying in touch with @WxWatcher007during his excursion to Nova Scotia earlier in my string of shifts. Glad everything went well there. Now for round two with Ian. Can someone turn off the Tropics please..... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radtechwxman Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Ian looks incredible right now on IR. Land interaction I definitely think helped tighten up core. Too bad Cuba probably going to undo all that beauty on satellite now. Curious how much it will degrade tonight over land and how quick it will recover tomorrow.

hlcater Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Ian is bombing out right now and 115mph is probably a tad conservative. 4-5 hours over flat western Cuba is likely to slow or halt intensification, but probably not enough to hinder it much by tomorrow afternoon. EDIT: landfall declared, 110kts/952mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Ian has made it to at least 83.7 W. The 0Z UKMET made it as far west as only 83.4. This along with it being the most SE track of any current model run makes me think that this run's track is likely too far SE with its landfall just north of Ft. Myers.

Very similar to Charley in some degree in how quick it happened. I believe they even had the data to support Cat 4 but will review it after the season when composing the TCR. This forecast by NOAA NHC has been stellar and they smacked the ball out the park with this one. I agree so far with how they been upgrading Ian and the data they chose for further review. The intensity forecast has been solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROOSTA Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 EYE diameter at LF in Cuba @15 miles across. Interaction with land should turn this beast to the right ever so slightly. Implications on LF location. Wondering if Ian can obtain CAT5 strength? Oh, hell I'm all in for wanting to experience an eye passage. I'm going to have to get more supplies. Getting anxious bordering on nervous. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s possible and very likely Ian can obtain Cat 5 as peak intensity. The question is whether Ian can hold it on landfall. The track that would support this would be landfall points south of Tampa as it’s the path of least resistance. Tampa and points north it will encounter shear/dry air so it’s highly unlikely. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan11295 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 As mentioned above, the models are no longer weakening Ian as dramatically prior to any landfall. Likely to be past peak, but they are now showing a major at that point. From IR you can really tell Ian was intensifying at Cuba landfall. bright cloud tops were starting to surround the center symmetrically. Will see how much short term weakening land passage causes.
