Major Hurricane Milton

Recon has found no pressure drop over the last 1 hr, 16 min..... still 977 mb.  This plane is now done.

I'm really surprised at that given how the IR satellite appearance continues to improve and eye about to pop

It's an ugly run. Shear doesn't really get to it until very late. Track is very bad for TB. 

GFS has the peak intensity Tuesday morning as Milton is just offshore of the Yucatan. Than as it turns NE, an ERC commences. Once it completes, Milton rapidly intensifies right before landfall and regains its lost intensity. Shear doesn’t get to it until right at landfall, very similar to what happened to Helene. This is becoming a common theme with Gulf hurricanes, particularly those landfalling Floridas west coast.

You knew it wouldn't take long based on imagery from MW and those impressive recon scans for the eye to start clearing out.

I honestly can’t remember the last time ive seen a hurricane go from a TS to a buzzsaw with a pinhole eye in 12 hours. This has been not only an impressive intensification process to witness but one that is certainly historic.

Hence why I'm confused why recon was finding steady pressures before they left

0Z Icon: Sarasota (near 18Z/12Z runs) late afternoon Wed

0Z CMC: Pt Charlotte (a bit N of 12Z’s little S of Ft Myers) Fri morning

0Z GFS: just N of Crystal River (barely N of 18Z) very late Wed night 

0Z UKMET: Naples (good bit S of 12Z’s Ft Myers) Wed afternoon

Edit for Euro:

0Z Euro: Bradenton (barely S of 18Z/12Z’s Tampa) Wed evening

Edit: N to S:
GFS, Euro, Icon, CMC, UKMET

-GFS remains quite a N outlier
-UKMET is a pretty significant S outlier

The HAFS-B decides it doesn't particularly like the folks stationed at Isla Pérez on this run.

Deepening is so rapid that the west eyewall is stronger than the east.  Tomorrow will be a very stressful day for Florida.  And this is on It’s way to cat 5 status

Pressure falling like a rock.  Winds up but not as dramaticallyrecon_NOAA3-0714A-MILTON_timeseries.thumb.png.0aad5d7e0ad4c1d522e148725b404edf.png

I wonder if that blip in altitude was intentional when they punched through the eye or if they just got rocked by the eyewall.

Globals don’t really want to weaken this into landfall. O6z GFS and 0z Euro are very similar. Not sold on the degree of weakening some of the hurricane models show. Also not sold on this missing the Yucatán, keeps heading SE

Was beginning to wonder how close Milton gets to the Yucatan? Any chance it actually makes landfall there? Obviously that would weaken the storm.
