This storm is a pain in the ass! Hopefully the coastals we get this winter don’t have as many moving pieces

There are many examples of larger tropical cyclones absorbing a nearby smaller tropical cyclone. Pretty fundamental dynamic process

Incredible EWRC presentation on visible satellite this afternoon

As expected, we have our second cat 5 of the season. Really hope we can get recon in there before the next EWRC

Yeah the writing was on the wall pretty quickly this morning, unabated RI was almost a guarantee.@WxWatcher007was correctly calling for this to be the season of the SW Atlantic… once Erin’s cold pool rebounded, that zone has become rocket fuel once again

Humberto is much stronger than a Cat 1 right now, special advisory should be in order before 5pm

Nascent CBs concentrating on the eyewall, warm spot becoming more pronounced on IR. The eye is about to pop out

Shrimp mode on satellite, we likely have a hurricane soon

Mount Ellen alone is a great mountain, and that is an absolute steal. Ellen’s lifts have been in a bit unreliable in recent years, so sometimes there are weekday closures of terrain that can be a bit maddening. Alterra definitely needs to pour some money into the operation. Mad River Glen next door also offers a $180 season pass for college students as well.

Kiko is a beauty. Definitely taking on some annular characteristics

Latest Kiko discussion suggests that post EWRC, Kiko’s environment could support annular characteristics. Not a ton of banding at the moment

Thanks for sharing, you reminded me of the Landsea paper on the Sahel Monsoon, great point!

Lots of talk nationally of what may constitute a recession indicator for our economy. Looking around here, seeing some recession indicators for tropical weather comprehension, weather model fluency, and the understanding of the relationship between time and numerical weather prediction. Specifically 6 threads since Chantal, and only a 50mph fish storm in the subtropics to show for it. What are we doing here? I guess the inactive period truly was inactive, despite loud opposition. Might be controversial, but I don’t care what’s over Chad right now.

Amazing news. SSMIS and similar polar-orbiting scans aren’t perfect, but they are the best Hurricane inner core analysis tool outside of in-situ observations and radar.

After 4 years braving the frozen wasteland of upstate NY, and the tropical island of Manhattan, I am returning to Boston to join the fight against KBOS snowfall observations. Excited to be providing a new data point from just south of the Pru to help give a more accurate understanding of just how much snow actually fell in Boston
