Exhibit A as to why it's being retired.

How are we looking for latter October? Trying to get a feel for whether or not we can get away with doing my 7 yr old's Bday outdoors....looks kind of seasonable-ish?

Got a new station up at Pit2. Sitting at the top of the rocks that drops off to the water. Sited about 25 feet above the water at low tide. With open water for two miles to the north, a mile to the east, and 2 miles to the southeast it should be really good for wind speeds during coastals. south to west will come in really meh. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMEBATH53?cm_ven=localwx_pwsdash

We have a chance to tie the record for latest 90 on record at MSP on Saturday. Crazy change from the last month of tranquil wx.

Smuggs will need to invest in lift infrastructure. Lifts are ancient there. Burke at least has some newer infrastructure as does Catamount.

Doubt it...my call from yesterday still looks good...110mph peak overnight before a Destin, FL LF early Sat at 90mph. Famous last words....lol

@George BM i expect lots of good fantasy NWS alerts from you. 24-48" of snow with rates of 5" per hour!

Looks like your little kid dumped spaghetti sauce all over it and dropped a couple blueberries on top.

wouldn't be surprised to see 100" of snow on a 384 GFS run

FL wind reduction to sfc 700 - 90% 850 - 80% 925 - 75% 300 m - 80% 150 m mean layer - 85% However, Sfc-700 mb wind ratios vary from TC to TC and can range from ~70% to >100%. But departures from standard adjustment cannot be determined from just a few sondes b/c of convective vigor, eye wall structure/cycle, RMW, and/or low-level stability/cooler waters. In order for 700 winds to be 100% at the sfc, I think you need an exceptional eye wall ring and the hurricane in RI mode, like Andrew was at landfall. Also, CGs in the eye wall indicating better updraft/downdraft couplets.

It better be. One of my favorite parts of the season is marveling at the synoptics behind those storms (and using them for practice!). Maybe I’ll make some breakdowns of the really crazy ones.

77 today. Beautiful

100 degrees in NYC in February! Woo hoo!

Yes, I think most of the winds on the latest recon were just about 70kt, if a bit more, and then surface winds should be lower than flight level, by 10 kt. I think the continued pressure of about 978mb supports relatively the same as this morning's recon, which may have had a bit of 75-80kt flight level.

Dewpoints in the upper 50s over SE TX which might as well be the Egyptian desert. If it's ramping up it has to now or very soon-because that's gonna hurt.

whatever that was or wasn't, okay. but that above is probably a record challenging warm blast clear to moose dung

And not over yet....maybe we should wait until after this winter to retire the NAMs...

i think this will be a pretty active thread bc of el nino this season

Very impressive ring of convection developing around the…. Eye…. Yes we have a legit eye now! Appears to be making another leap

For scale, I attached zoomed out WV image,. The CDO/core of Isaias is very small. That makes it much more susceptible to shear and dry air. Also, easier RI. The 12z HAFS A/B shows sig intensification, but the rate of weakening it shows just in the last 9 hr up to landfall is quite remarkable. Just from a wild extreme swing one end to the other, this may be an exceptional event meteorologically. We get lots of big RIs just before landfall (Michael, Otis), but going the other way? I know no Atlantic situation quite like this, at least for an impending landfall. Sure, many HUs elsewhere has got torn apart in short order, but it is so much different when close to landfall and the system is quite strong within say 12-15 hr of landfall. A lot more eyes are on it!

Dafuq?!?!?! And, given the late October timeframe, this would fall under the "plain ridiculous" category (but still kinda fun to look at)!!

Oklahoma also destroyed its old record. September 2026: 82.8° (old record: 80.1°, 1931). Virtually all of the state exceeded its prior monthly record.
