Shear was maybe delayed but not denied lol it tore this thing apart upon landfall

A wind gust to 116 mph (187 km/h) with a sustained wind of 91 mph (146 km/h) was recently reported at a WeatherFlow station near Santa Rosa Sound, Florida. A wind gust to 100 mph (161 km/h) with a sustained wind of 63 mph (101 km/h) was recently reported at a WeatherSTEM station near Pensacola, Florida.

NWS Doppler Radar data indicate that Hurricane Isaias made landfall near Destin, Florida, around 830 PM CDT (0130 UTC) with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph (165 km/h). The estimated minimum central pressure is 971 mb (28.67 inches). A NOAA National Ocean Service water level gauge in Panama City Beach, Florida, recently reported a water level of 5.6 feet above mean higher high water, which is an approximation of inundation in that area.

There are a bazillion chasers out there so it's pretty well sampled. And I'm having a hard time seeing much more than just about sustained hurricane force winds on a few feeds and gusts on the upper end of a 1 as the 'eye' is moving ashore.

Landfall Destin officially just now.

I will be surprised to see any sustained hurricane force winds over land anywhere.

A Dec to end of Feb would be a good run, once we hit March even a good storm starts to melt quick. Ideally I'd like a storm in the beginning of Dec and have a pack til the beginning of March.

Check this out as of 9PM EDT at Destin with center just offshore likely just to their SE based on NE wind: DESTIN LGT RAIN 71 70 96 NE39G67 29.08 FOG That’s 984 mb.

let's not go overboard. looks like a weakening mid-range cat 1, at least to me

Mesonet station XSRS Santa Rosa Sound DB127 recorded sustained winds of 84 mph with a measured wind gust of 116 mph. https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/lsr/?by=wfo&wfo=MOB&sts=202610100045&ets=202610100045&settings=1110100

When you say elevated interior are you thinking catskills and southern greens are included or do you really think it'll be a shutout for everyone south of Stowe and less than 2k ft asl. lol

Coast is due for a big march. Every single march since 2020 has been a complete ratter. Total shutout on any sort of wintery activity.

Looks like landfall will be on Miramar Beach, which means Destin will stay on the left side. If there is any surge, it looks like it would be directed to some areas that have state park land, which is a plus.

They verify more often than they do not

Last half hour has been the worst, definitely close to hurricane sustained with some higher gusts. .

Which is it's experimental forecast

I’ve seen several write ups talking about how elevation could make a difference this winter. Why is that? It seems to me that in the winter location (eg, which side of the storm you’re in) makes a lot more difference than elevation. Heck I’m usually warmer than the lower elevations in a cutter.

Scott, Ray, Ginx... have met them all. Truth be told I'm a transplant from MA. Why I moved, don't ask! Deep down shhhh, I live for a good snow. First tropical system after moving lost power for a week...that sealed it for experiencing named storms.

Upper atmosphere is what matters. And if you were at some Elevation…that too.

Got caught in a mixed rain/snow shower today in Franconia Notch. Could see legit flakes flying around while the temperature was in the upper 40s. Bizarre. I’ll remember that when it’s 32 and raining this winter lol

One SVR LSR report pet peeve of mind is "wires down." A LTG strike can do that! Just over time, it seems issuing warnings have become looser and looser as to criteria. I recall last summer, they issued a flash flood warning for the DC metro even before the line of tstms got to the metro! Given a line can quickly weaken as to rainfall rates, that is putting the wagon in front of the horse..

You and @CoastalWx have so much in common it sounds! Want to know how much a snow weenie he is? Last winter, when he *finally* got 6" of snow in a storm after an excruciating 4 years w/o one at his house, he goes "it looks VIOLENTLY BEAUTIFUL out there!" I never thought I'd see those two words used together!
