weatherwiz Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 5 minutes ago, CoastalWx said: Winds might be more NNW there which would help vs due west or southwest. That would certainly help. Just goes to show how nail biting of a situation is for there. A few wobbles of a track and several degrees of wind could be all the difference.

NJwx85 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 2 minutes ago, WxWatcher007 said: 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) There’s 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. At the end of this loop it appears that the old inner eyewall collapses.

It stops short of the present frame, which still shows the inner eyewall trying to hang on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also seems like the earlier a model projects landfall it seems to be slightly farther north. Maybe because that means less time for the East turn. CMC is the outlier there, but it has been a southern outlier the entire way. This just looks so close. One wobble to the North could put Tampa right in the cross hairs.

CMC (12Z) is no longer a S outlier as it is near Bradenton just like the GFS and near the UKMET, and only very slightly S of the Euro/Icon at TB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radtechwxman Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Looks like Milton is bare minimum cat 4 now on latest update. 130 mph 944mb. I'm thinking it may landfall as low end 3 unless it restrengthens later but probably unlikely given satellite/radar presentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winds will decrease, but is the storm surge height pretty much "locked in" for lack of a better term due to how close it is to shore, and how strong it was?

When we see it decrease that’s a good sign we will see it head more east. I just hope it’s south of the Bay Its nasty in Tampa now. I am on the bay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
