  1. I mean it spent over 5 hours on mountainous land I’m not sure why anyone would expect it to weaken less than it did. That being said the structure overall remained intact. Shear is starting to increase, evident by restricted outflow to SW, but it’s moving NE over a bathtub. This is going to restrengthen significantly. The only thing that weakened it in the first place was land.
  2. Depending on structure when this gets back over water I’m not sure we don’t see another cat 5 landfall on Cuba. Environment is still extremely conducive until the Cuban landfall when shear will begin to increase
  3. I was thinking this too as a result of the continued westward drift. It also avoids the highest terrain if it stays west. As for intensity, the NE eyewall most definitely came ashore at peak intensity. Perhaps it filled a few mb before the center crossed but being the strongest winds were already onshore it does not matter
  4. Over 1” storm total with plenty more on the way
  5. There will definitely be areas that see gusts 220+ where some of the higher terrain interacts with the eyewall. I cannot emphasize enough the wind event from this storm especially on an island with higher terrain will maximize the wind seen on the ground. Absolutely incredible
  6. It’s possible but I think it bends back right as it comes onshore. Regardless he is in the absolute worst spot to be wind wise and is taking the full brunt at his location
  7. Eye is about to be directly over Josh. He couldn’t have positioned himself better to get the dead center of this storm
  8. Unfortunately it is coming in at peak strength and with some forward speed meaning that eastern side will maximize wind gusts. Dire situation in Jamaica. Coming in daylight, maybe Josh can get the stadium captured. This is going to be one of the strongest hurricane landfalls in history.
  9. This storm could’ve worked in January. 1035 building into NE with a low developing about 80 miles off the coast. Not to mention overrunning for about 24 hours
  10. Yep. We’re getting close to 1” now too. This is perfect for the severe drought areas
  11. Over 1/2” with more to come. Thinking 1” here is on the table
  12. Much needed soaking rains across the Carolina’s and Georgia, just what the Dr ordered
  13. First pass shows no real structural changes. No evidence of an outer eyewall development and no real pressure changes. Winds about the same. Let’s see what’s in the NE eyewall. I will say from a sat perspective this is the best the storms has looked.
  14. That it’s a possibility now is quite shocking. These wobbles we’ve been watching for days now have extreme meaning given 2/3 of Jamaica is now probably too far right to be reasonably at threat for a direct landfall. I’m not saying it will miss but NHC explicitly has it heading NNE now on its track and it has definitely dipped due west. It will not take much more at all to miss entirely
  15. I will say if this gets to about 79W it would have the chance to miss wide left given the forecast angle of recurve
  16. Is there a chance this thing misses Jamaica? Like I know no model shows it and it would be an epic modeling fail of even more epic proportions but dang if this doesn’t keep dragging further west when everything has it riding N or NE now
