jm1220 Posted October 9, 2024 Share Posted October 9, 2024 Looks like the eye is slowing down a bit, maybe about to start the right turn. Regardless Tampa will get raked by the N eyewall and maybe a foot of rain. Radar estimates already 6-7” in spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windspeed Posted October 9, 2024 Share Posted October 9, 2024 The HAFS models have been excellent simulating the interaction with front, trough, mid-to-upper jet, and its transitioning evolution with these features. Milton's current structure at this point just prior to landfall is very similar to their simulated structures for several days runs.Now we watch for the SLP enhanced surge aided by the expanding windfield. We also watch for Milton's southern circulation to be aided by the ST jet and potential sting jet driven westerly winds, which may enhance low-level winds in shoving the surge on the shelf inland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdgwx Posted October 9, 2024 Share Posted October 9, 2024 Per the official 21Z NHC update Milton's IKE has increased dramatically to 78 TJ. For point of comparison using official NHC advisories just prior to landfall... Hurricane Charley 2004 was 12 TJ. Hurricane Helene 2024 was 100 TJ. Hurricane Katrina 2005 was 120 TJ. Superstorm Sandy 2012 was 330 TJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
