SnoSki14 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 2 minutes ago, Seminole said: That is not how RI is supposed to happen. Dry air and running into shallower waters is my guess as to why. It's not dry air, it's the broad circulation. No models had it being much more than a Cat 1. Not every hurricane is going to blow past intensity forecasts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is happening looks very similar to the Euro solution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wthrmn654 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 recon doing that loop made a mess of a map to read but im only seeing 985.3mb lowest.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csnavywx Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 She's still tilted slightly N/NE looking at the radar velocity tilts. Given a westerly shear vector though, that should not take long to fix. Low level center should finish doing a little counterclockwise loop in the next few hours, align and spin up, barring some big dry air ingestion. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxWatcher007 Posted August 5 Author Share Posted August 5 Honestly I don’t think there’s been anything terribly surprising today. Despite the fits and starts or organization, we’ve seen lower end rapid intensification the last 36 hours. It’s organizing at a faster pace the closer it gets to the coast, as expected, and it should be a solid category one perhaps “low end” two at landfall. The most interesting thing has been the level of wobbling as this tried to tighten an inner core. That could have downstream impacts if this turns east sooner and reaches the Atlantic faster but we’ll see if that actually happens. Thought we’d see more consensus between the GFS/Euro but no dice. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were chasing this one I’d probably be in Steinhatchee, and more than a little nervous that it’ll come in further south due to this more eastward movement. That said, these can wobble a lot. Add in the tilting like @csnavywx noted and the tightening of the core, the recon fixes are even more important. The radar the last 90 minutes has been interesting. Seeing lightning now in the eastern eyewall as it tries again to tighten and close off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydbuster Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 This is a run of the mill August Cat 1 Florida hurricane. As American as apple pie. However, that slowdown could be a really historic flood risk. Awful for areas to be impacted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCG RS Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Still a bit broad, hut this has Charlie vibes currently. No, I am not calling for a Cat 4 hurricane at LF, but Debby has a lot of fuel to work with. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
