Yeah. It's interesting how bad the 1880-1900 period was for GA/SC, 1893 and 1898 particularly. Otherwise very rare new gfs rips the potential next system into the gulf, euro recurves similar to Erin.

What a beast, cloud tops in the eyewall are still cooling and becoming more symmetrical

This neighborhood has had 2-3 strikes just this summer. We sit on ledge which I think attracts lightning . The one in MBY was right before July 4 and another was 5-6 houses down in that wild strobe light overnight MCS

Based on the last pass, I would be surprised if the NHC doesn't upgrade to at least 160 sustained and 922 mb at 11 AST. Keep in mind that Erin is embedded in a higher background pressure regime at its location, so anything around 925 mb or lower is definitely supportive of Category 5 intensity.

Yeah, don't forget after Andrew in 1992, we didn't get another major hurricane the rest of the way. We may get some more storms, some may even be a C1 or C2, but the odds are that we aren't going to get a storm of Erin's strength the rest of the way.

919 mb extrap, 156 kts FL wind

Cat 5 at 11am?

Beavers called up for today’s game.

Let’s pull 85-90

Seems reasonable

926 drop according to tropical tidbits

I don’t think there will be any debate on that indisputable fact. The question remains, how will this tropical season finish in terms of ACE and named storms, all added up, said and done, on November 30th, which is what really counts. There are signs that at least early-mid September will become quiet again. Despite the current uptick in ACE to this point with Erin, I still have very serious doubts that this 2025 Atlantic hurricane season will end up above normal in ACE or in named storms

We are headed to Narragansett tomorrow, spending the week. How much will this impact the beaches later this week in terms of tides and rip current?

I love climate change talk because I love winter. And my favorite season is Autumn, the biggest casualty of climate change.

Okay it's one op run at the very end of its range, with no real agreement with its ensembles... but since it shows this, it'll probably come true.

Savannah and Hilton Head rarely get hit by hurricanes. David in 1979 but only Cat 1.

What a freaking specimen

winter related username doesn't like climate change talk, many such cases

Not only that but no one is required to actually read each post. I can't be the only one who scrolls through the thread and read only the stuff that interests me at the time. Suns out, guns out here, 76/71.

Have him commandeer the vessel and punch the core.

It would be pretty weird to discuss hyper local temperature and precipitation trends in a general climate change thread. And departures don't mean shit anymore unfortunately when they're shifting so quick. Your -1 was considered slightly above normal just 5 years ago. I'd rather discuss overall monthly averages and rank them coldest to warmest according to the available record than use departure.

Due to Erin ACE is now rapidly rising with 2025 about to cross median for the date (of last 75) and should cross mean tomorrow. 2025 should reach top 20 for the date by Mon and top 15 or higher by Tue or Wed. @snowman19@mitchnick

Nasty stuff. Pic below is from 3/27/21, a day after that 70-foot fir tree was blown apart, 55 yards from the house. In addition to traumatizing our yellow Lab mix (she was still shaking 45 minutes later), the strike ruined the connection between our generator and its dedicated panel. We only learned that in April when power went off. Genny started as usual but no transfer to the house. Technicians came and created a manual work-around (in rain turning to snow plus wind) so I could go down-cella, open the panel and flip the switch, until they could do a complete fix when the ground had thawed. Last winter the transfer again quit but I could do the manual switch; the tech came in the spring and had to replace the toasted auto-switch within the panel - probably had been compromised back in 2021 then finally died.

A friend is scheduled to go on a cruise to Bermuda later this week. Going to be close

The hourly guidance showed mostly cloudy skies this morning. The clouds should break late morning/early afternoon yielding to partly sunny skies.
