  1. Wonder how long after Ian clears Cuba that we see an eye on visible satellite.
  2. Was wondering the same thing. If it pulls back over water, even briefly, would argue the freshwater inland flooding threat for the Carolinas increases.
  3. 12z hurricane models. Looks like a decent interior rainfall setup for the SE.
  4. Yea that's my concern too, especially further inland.
  5. Recon can do a brief fix or data point if it's near the coast and there is a need (IE: rapid strengthening, expected turn, unusual feature) but it is not a common practice. Got to talk with the hurricane hunters when they were in DC the other year about it. There are 2 reasons for this: 1.) There is more turbulence flying over land than water. 2.) No terrain issues over water.
  6. Just need the remnant into Quantico, then a right hook east. Pivot, baby.
  7. NHC has been money on this system.
  8. ^could you imagine that in this neck of the woods? Insane.
  9. 18z hurricane models are more favorable for us, but I agree this is a painful setup to watch.
  10. Philippe works for NHC. He's a big brain tropical wx person and a must follow if your have Twitter.
  11. Ian Cat 2 based off the 5pm advisory from NHC.
  12. Ian's satellite presentation is looking better over the past couple of hours.
  13. From what I've been told, HMON/HWRF is not the best to use for intensity until the center of circulation has been established.
  14. Not to my knowledge. You are better off ignoring the NAM3k for tropical.
  15. Friendly reminder as we slowly draw closer to the shorter/mid range models:
  16. 11am Public Advisory 11am Technical Discussion notes the expanded wind field and thus the Tropical Storm Warning is expanded.
