979 on recon?

Impressive nearly 24 hours with little to no change in winds

Great thank you.

Is that another round a dry air getting wrapped into her on the left side? Such a tiny looking thing crazy!

Reminds me of Ernesto, pressure kept dropping but winds didn't follow for a while till just before getting near Bermuda.

@purduewx80 what are your thoughts and ideas with this storm? As a meteorologist, what do you see that you disagree with some thinking it won't be as strong? Legitimately asking.

Hurricane hunters saw 990, then 988 them the last 2 passes by 2 planes it raised back up to about 990

Upper divergence Lower convergence

Not the best shear maps cause it's not really showing the storm well, will get better one. Will be interesting to see how she does plowing north east.

I was kinda assuming that since it become less joined.

The only question or possibly concern is: the whole fully separation of the 2 big cloud masses that's not showing right now and is that dry air north of or slightly north west of the center to? If it is will that be drawn into it later on?

I think What he's saying is, the cat 1 / cat 2 with a couple cat 3, estimates that we saw yesterday on some models at one point were over done. If it's a cat 1 borderline cat 2 that's reasonable, as of this morning...

If the pressures keep dropping but winds don't respond similar to Ernesto, then I'd be concerned. All bets on the table now
