BTRWx's Thanks Giving Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Does anyone have a good source showing the extension of the hurricane force and tropical storm force winds coverage? I want something I can share on social media. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 20 minutes ago, donsutherland1 said: From the NWS Greeville-Spartanburg Facebook Page: Already, as of 4:07 pm EDT, Asheville has picked up 4.44" of rain today. That breaks the daily mark of 1.71" from 1956 and the all-time September daily record of 4.40" from September 29, 1964. The 2-day total of 8.53" breaks both the 2- and 3-day rainfall records. Helene has the makings of being to the Smokies what Irene was to the Green and White Mountains. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt have that symmetrical look quite yet, but it looks better than it has since early this am. You must be looking at a different hurricane than I am. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mob1 Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 70 mph gust was just recorded in downtown St Petersburg with some of the outer bands moving through now. Not bad considering the storm's distance from them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxWatcher007 Posted September 26 Author Share Posted September 26 Just to level set, the 2am advisory had Helene at 85mph and 971mb. Now, Helene is at 125mph and 951mb, with the deepening rate increasing. Despite all the conversation today, we have objectively met the definition of rapid intensification and done so in 14 hours. How far it goes, who knows, but Helene will be added to our list of rapidly intensifying tropical cyclones on final approach. 21 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPetrulli Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Looking ever increasingly better, imo think we can get to 120-125 knots at LF. Still several hours left over water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxSynopsisDavid Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 I been rather quiet with this storm, but it was humorous to see all the trolls posting how Helene was struggling. Or the post in particular saying the ceiling was Cat 2 and it would be a 100-105mph cane. With that said, 150mph-155mph appears to be the ceiling now. Helene has the potential to achieve its actual peak on landfall. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxSynopsisDavid Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Mind you, this Rapid Intensification process was friction induced. People often forget about the critical angle of approach and how the Florida west coast often induces frictional RI processes on approach. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovintheWhiteFluff Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 8 minutes ago, BTRWx's Thanks Giving said: I want data and not just a picture. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 310 miles (500 km). A weather station at Venice Municipal Airport recently reported a sustained wind of 46 mph (74 km/h) with a gust of 69 mph (111 km/h). Another observation near Venice Beach reported a sustained wind of 51 mph (82 km/h) with a gust to 66 mph (106 km/h). https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT4+shtml/262042.shtml Add the NOAA graphic: yellow = TS Force Red = Hurricane Force 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
