  1. Recon just got another pass. Pressure is holding steady.
  2. The hurricane is not currently being affected by dry air. We do have some Northwesterly shear that's forecasted to weaken as the day goes on. Conditions will be favorable for about the next 24 hours. As we speak, hot towers are going up in the Western eyewall. It's still getting its act together from the EWRC.
  3. Also maintains intensity well. Strong winds make it as far inland as Orlando but it does confine most of the rain to the West and North of the center.
  4. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/NOAA42 Here's a link to the latest recon flight.
  5. Dry air issues beginning on Wednesday completely destroy the inner core.
  6. The initialization pressure is a joke, but it does show deepening in the 12-24 hours leading up to landfall. 965mb 00z Wednesday, 949mb 00z Thursday. Minimal dry air issues.
  7. Translates to about 140kts at the surface.
  8. The 06z HWRF never brings the center South of 22N which is already off based on the latest advisory position of 21.7N.
  9. Noticed that the HWRF is showing much less dry air intrusion on final approach than what was being modeled on Saturday.
  10. Jim Cantore also said at the time that it was the strongest Cat 1 he had ever experienced.
  11. I believe there were forecasts that high in Texas associated with Hurricane Harvey.
  12. This storm has quite an extensive PRE. The center is still West of Naples but the rainfall is already pushing into Kentucky and West Virginia. Fresh water flooding will be a huge deal on top of the wind and immediate coastal impacts.
  13. Prolific rainfall amounts incoming for Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina into the Smokies due to upsloping.
  14. Going to be a lot of quick spin ups today East of the track.
  15. Spent the day in the Southern Bahamas, there were easily some 45-50kt gusts associated with rain squalls which began in the afternoon. Sea is angry and the ship has been rocking since yesterday. On our way to the Central Bahamas and Captain said it’s possible we might not be able to dock. Forecast is worse than what we experienced today.
  16. I’m currently on a cruise ship about 30 NMI N of Hispaniola on a WNW heading. We’re going to pass about 10 NMI South of the Turks and Caicos later tonight. Seas were calm this morning, now 4-6 feet with rain squalls. There was lots of lightning last night as we passed Puerto Rico. Unfortunately we’re headed to the Bahamas and then Port Canaveral on Sunday. Hoping for a Southerly track.
  17. Fingers crossed. Headed to the Caribbean and then the Bahamas.
  18. Same at my house in Bardonia. Someone called into WFAN and reported golf ball sized hail in Croton from that cell. Also a tornado, but it probably wasn't an actual tornado.
  19. Prime snow season ends around here the middle of next week. After that sun angle becomes a growing problem for anything that falls during the day. Heck, it was even somewhat of an issue yesterday in the immediate costal plain and the city.
  20. We deserve a nice and mild start to Spring after the last few years.
  21. The 12z RGEM has a really solid event here. Around 0.2 to 0.3" QPF could easily be a 3-5" event with high ratios expected. There should be a quick moving area of enough lift to give a few hour burst of moderate to locally heavy snow.
  22. I think we’re good for the next 4 hours or so. After that the back edge will be rapidly approaching.
