USCG RS Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Just now, andyhb said: The French Broad River (river that flows through Asheville NC) is forecast to crest more than 10 feet above the previous record at Fletcher, which is in the eastern part of the metro. Those warnings the GSP NWS Office was providing were something. I don't recall ever seeing language quite like that out of the NWS, at least to the public. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 I’m still surprised because the eye is not really impressive at all. But she seems to still be strengthening I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like the 60% of the eyewall is extremely intense and just sucking up all the air lol. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's still going to drop the pressure even if one quad is a bit ragged. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But she seems to still be strengthening I guess. Sometimes storms get that way. I remember Harvey had a messy ragged eye, Irma after leaving Cuba, but as long as those pressures are falling and the winds respond, sometimes the strongest ain't the prettiest.

BTRWx's Thanks Giving Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 I wonder if that outer rain band to the southwest of the center is slowly becoming the new eyewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random Chaos Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 2 minutes ago, Radtechwxman said: On radar it's even less impressive in the southern eyewall. Kind of open and not much precip. Wonder if we have hit our max winds despite pressure drops. Intense storms always give radar shadows and this comes up every landfalling hurricane. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the following post, I mentioned the intense convection. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the following post, I mentioned the intense convection. The bumpiness of the eye on radar now and lightning is still indicating those rotating mesovortices. Looking at velocities we definitely have some impressive #’s on the radar out of TLH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeonPeon Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 I can't think of many land falling hurricanes in the Gulf that don't have this look in terms of a slightly open or ragged eye wall on the far side. You seem to need a real outlier not to get it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the following post, I mentioned the intense convection. Radar attenuation. Those towers are very large and blocking view of the west and south side of the storm. Reason why the intensification is surprising to you because you didn’t account for such. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
