That eye Wall or Dorian. Strongest ever reported by Josh. 185 sustained ....just a eye Wall of total devestation. Made Andrew look almost weak in comparison (185 to 160)
Most of S FL doesn’t realize the bomb they dodged

this thing is undergoing RI , it’s pretty clear
plane will have center fix with winds by 8pm
thats 140 EZ
Its one of the nicer cores I’ve seen . This aint a 3 now
Euro Has not run but I Am very interested in where the turn west occurs
alllnensembles turned Dorian South of 26.5 N (unless im reading map wrong )
inbelieve models underdo the quickness of the turn as well as when they’ve sniffed out a slight WSW dip it also tends to be underdone on modeling
Equally concerning is the stall on CMC\UkMET on 0z models just inland . That throws a wrench in
Such a strong forecast turn at a longitude as Far East as forecast leaves a lot of room for error imo . Maybe models will be consistent next 48 on Strenth of ridge but also where this does its turn
I lived in S Fl for a long while
they have been exponentially lucky in Broward and South Palm beach county for 50 years . 5-0
So much money along the water. Super wealth
Do you believe this will expand significantly in size or remain rather small until a possible landfall
Interesting to see if the ridge orientation 72-120 hours out takes on a pure W-E orientation or even possibly shifts to create a WSW motion . Also what latitude it’s at when it turns west and feels the ridge makes all the difference
The fact this barely entered Caribbean really helped this become a disaster in THe making (avoiding land) and less favorable conditions
My worst post
my bad
This storm looks frightening as it has shifted so Far East that it went from crossing Hispaniola to going currently East of Puerto Rico as it strengthens .
Tropical depression 5 ...forecast to become a hurricane as it crosses NE Caribbean
that is an example of the POLITICS of forecasting . Caribbean Looks hostile l and would be lucky to make it thru as Tropical storm but IMO bc it’s close to islands Stewart is going with HRFW? And Cat 1. Good luck
