As usually happens when a storm is deepening upon landfall the wind damage is much greater. A 125 mph cane deepening at landfall is far worse than a weakening 125 mph cane at landfall.
Who knows. If the Nao goes positive and Ida gets trapped off the southeast coast then it could regenerate and head north. Also, that cane on the Euro might move a bit more west.
This is an interesting look. The negative NAO looks to be breaking down and i think thats the remains of Ida off the southeast coast.

JB is really going to be bummed if this one doesnt rapidly intesnify. He predicted Henri would and it didnt. I think its moving way too fast to be more than a cat1 and the further east it goes the weaker it will be.
Probably because its moving so much faster and is quite a bit weaker. Moving that fast will likely mean it wont take advantage of what may be favorable conditions. Lets see if 0z slows it back down or speeds it up even more.
Yea, and it appears the faster it goes the weaker it will be. Hopefully if this so far short weakening trend continues it will come in as a cat1 rainmaker.
Actually its considerably weaker than 12z. Maybe its going so fast it will never really do much. So far this hasnt been a season of quality. My guess is the further east it goes the weaker it will be.

Eye is forming on Henri. Warm water not only parameter as upper outflow will improve all the way to landfall. still no big pressure drops but if eye clears out would likely be a sign its happening
