Regardless of the other indicies, the -AO is always the savior for us. Many times over, when it dips down good things always happen around here. Pattern suppression for the win.

Prob 1/2" here in Franklinton with flurries and still some periods of -sn

Lol. I still like cold and snow.

This sounds like my life right now. Add in working from home and it's chaos.

It's quickly reorganizing but going to run out of water before it can ramp back up too much. -

It will be interesting to see if the ocean starts creeping up on that cam as the winds switch north. -

I'm assuming it's just ESE of that location. It's facing the ocean, so that wind is probably coming from the ENE switching to N soon -

That 50 mile wide swath of the eyewall will carve a path through the island unlike we've seen before. I bet satellite pictures in a few days will show it almost like a tornado path. Will be sad. -

I think I am less worried this go around given the elevation. he can likely avoid the surge pretty easily down there. As long as he's in a reinforced concrete building he should be fine. -

I can't convince myself to sign up for TikTok, even to watch streams of the strongest Hurricane landfall in history. -

Where is he located? -

I'm sure Josh or another chaser has a handheld barometer onsite. If so, we could have ground truth of the strongest or 2nd strongest landfall ever in the Atlantic basin. At least in recorded history. -

Per Twitter, he settled on a concrete masonry building up on a hill. Def safe from surge i'm sure, but will be battling the wind. There's a chance he might catch the 2nd strongest Hurricane landfall ever. Think about that for a second. Unreal. -

Mind boggling. There are certain systems that defy the norms. This is def one of them. Not sure people are prepared for the scenes that will be coming out of Jaimaca. They've dogged the bullet so many times. Not this one. -

Not sure how much lower pressure the atmosphere can support down there. Assuming it can go close to 900mb. Just a sick setup. The depth of the warm water in that area is always off the chart. -

The eye appears to have gotten a bit smaller on Sat. Not sure if the vdm will confirm or not. -

12z EC/AI/Google Deep mind are pretty deadset on SW Jamaica (Would put the mid-point near White House, Jamaica). I don't see much variance among them today. Seems to be the spot. -

I'm not sure there are many good comparisons on this one other than Maria/PR and Dorian/Bahamas. Everyone knows how those turned out. -

Rainfall wise, the entire island is screwed which is the biggest killer in tropical systems. That portion will be pretty epic. The wind damage (at least the extreme portion of it) will likely be confined to the central and western end of the island. -

Kinda looks like the turn has happened or is in the process of happening now. Josh is camped out somewhere near Treasure beach i think, he usually has a good feel for where these things landfall. I like that area but just a bit west (I'm assuming he's trying to get in the eastern eyewall). -

Like most of these turns North, it will likely stall, wobble, and then start drifting North before accelerating.
