    Endeavors? Nah, I’m staying put. Now, on to the next topic of discussion. Big slow down as Lee gets north of the islands. Very little progress in 2+ days time.
  2. WxSynopsisDavid
    And there’s a clear and evident SW shift, both the forward speed and track to the islands will have implications for areas west of 60W.

    There was no wishcasting in that post. And no, they are not virtually identical. You can clearly see the SW shift in location on tropicaltidbits when switching frames. This is an important trend to follow for numerous reasons. Any shift, in any direction, will have repercussions on Lee and his eventual track. More importantly, the farther south Lee tracks it opens the possibility to Lee tracking underneath the trough and potentially stalling.

    Make sense, thank you for the clarification on that.
  5. WxSynopsisDavid
    Thanks for the help on this, you could be right and if so that would make sense about weaker storm staying south.
  6. WxSynopsisDavid
    If my memory serves me correct, Cape Verde storms that intensify quicker and much sooner before getting to the Lesser Antilles typically track more to the south. If I'm wrong, someone correct me please.

    WTH going on with the Euro Ensembles? Did it get a virus or malware? 898mb……hate to be any aquatic life form in that general area. Or a bird really, I mean imagine being a bird and flying into that thing. Geez.
  8. WxSynopsisDavid
    That explicit rhetoric is not used often by NHC so that should aid in peoples doubts concerning if Idalia has time for additional intensification.
  9. WxSynopsisDavid
    Negative, lopsided appearance is due to the hot towers rapidly going up. They are so big they are blocking the eye and causing a distorted appearance. You also got mesovortices inside the eye too.
  10. WxSynopsisDavid
    That’s exactly what happened, but you also have a jet streak up top enhancing the RI along with the trough. This frictional-induced RI is going to be incredible to witness.
  11. WxSynopsisDavid
    The rapid burst of -90c in NW eyewall with new convection going up in NE eyewall is indicative of frictional-induced RI.
  12. WxSynopsisDavid
    And just like that, you can see velocities spiking on radar again. Also, the eye is ragged looking due to mesovortices rotating around the eye, if anyone was interested.

    I don’t think I’m staying awake for that lol. Reason I got antsy and cross eyed, with the quickness I fired that post out. Really hoping Idalia would be a Cat 4, now the suspense and intrigue is killing me. Curious to see just how much more Idalia can go. With this jet streak setting up shop, it could supply one last rapid intensification phase on landfall.

    I deleted the post, I was reading too fast. I need some sleep lol.
  15. WxSynopsisDavid
    Yeah this is a classic textbook example of a hurricane that featured steep pressure falls and winds lagged, took several hours to catch up. Unfortunately, the timing is not great as winds are catching up as Idalia sets up for a landfall.
  16. WxSynopsisDavid
    Looks like latest recon pass has 123kt FL wind and SFMR of 116kt. Idalia is most definitely a Category 4, 130mph cane.
  17. WxSynopsisDavid
    Wow….textbook and classic feature of high-end canes. Idalia still has a high ceiling for intensity through landfall.
  18. WxSynopsisDavid
    Radar, no indication of dry air
  19. WxSynopsisDavid
    Appearing highly likely that winds are roughly 130mph at the surface in the east quad of the eyewall. Seen a few spikes in excess of 140mph, so it’s plausible Idalia is now a Category 4. Velocities are spiking as the core is tightening up. Frictional-induced RI looks to be occurring.
  20. WxSynopsisDavid
    Using radar, the east quad is where the fastest winds are. Velocities are also spiking in that region.
  21. WxSynopsisDavid
    Not certain that’s what is happening. Beam height of the radars is my main question. Also appears the left side (east side) is undergoing frictional interference. So far not seeing any indications of what you mentioned in the recon data.
  22. WxSynopsisDavid
  23. WxSynopsisDavid
    Eyewall is closed, no dry air entrainment whatsoever into the core. All is good, what you are seeing is land interaction, friction induced.
  24. WxSynopsisDavid
    Can’t recall a cane that was tilted like that, a TS, undergo the struggles it endured earlier today to bomb out like this and be knocking on Cat 4 intensity. I’m sure some of you can remember an analog, and I’ll be interested to know and study it if provided.
  25. WxSynopsisDavid
    I’ll take that bet and say another 20mb drop. If I’m wrong a round of shots on me? But this has to be one of the more impressive inner structures and eyewalls we have seen recently.
