USCG RS Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 1 minute ago, jm1220 said: Curious to see if this new eyewall developing can close. Still looks healthy if a bit ragged on IR. Like others have said it’s pretty dramatically expanding its windfield at the moment. It certainly appears to be attempting to clear out the eye yet again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olafminesaw Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Funky things happening in the eye, but does seem to be moving ENE right now (almost due East). Really hard to determine movement with the ongoing structural changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDweatherman Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 I’d say that the “bleed” south models had before has stopped on most guidance. Every wobble is going to certainly play a part like NHC alluded to. Last few wobbles have headed back NNE. Admittedly, I don’t know how you couldn’t be sweating bullets in Tampa/St.Pete at the moment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 HRRR with a real nasty swath of winds coming in on the back side of this right into Fort Myers from the west. That will certainly pile up water. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movement on radar has been pretty straight the last few hours, right along the NHC track towards Sarasota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean maybe there are a few kinks which spare them the worst but it still looks like they could get core of eyewall plus the surge. I hope anyone who stayed is continuing to pay attention to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normandy Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 The tornado outbreak occurring ahead of the tornado will exacerbate wind damage when the actuall hurricane arrives. Just another example of how powerful storms can cause unusual weather outcomes because the tornado outbreak occurring definitely was not expected on this level. I’m certain the eastward expanding windfield and shear combo had something to do with this. Would love a Mets thoughts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxWatcher007 Posted October 9 Author Share Posted October 9 Someone asked so let’s take a look at radar. Three things stand out to me: 1) There’s a legitimate tornado outbreak that’s ongoing across the peninsula. Some of these have had very strong couplets. This will continue so even inland folks need to be vigilant. 2) The ERC at least on radar looks nearly complete. As you can see that’s leading to a much larger core. That’s important for who gets the eyewall and perhaps intensity heading into final approach. 3) The landfall zone is narrowing on the models but more importantly narrowing on radar. Do not let your guard down slightly north of Tampa or slightly south of Sarasota. As the landfall zone narrows, it’s still critical to pay attention to long term motion, but every wobble becomes increasingly important. Watch to see if the heading slightly shows its cards after the ERC completes. 3 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mob1 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Inner eyewall is pretty much gone now and a larger one has taken over. It's still fairly week and open to the south and southwest so we'll see if it can fully wrap around and slow the weakening a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
