    Hurricane Josh is in Jamaica shooting for another eyewall penetration.

    Both recon flights on first pass have lowest pressure at 910 mb.

    Probably too late now for any weakening to lower the storm surge, as the waves have already built up. All that can be hoped for is that the winds back down a bit.

    Those mountains should help disrupt the circulation, and weaken Melissa before it moves on to Cuba.

    What will help some is that the mountains have trees, which will help prevent mudslides. If it was a place like Haiti where the mountains have been denuded of trees, there would be massive mudslides, with little or no warning, causing more deaths, and devastation.

    The visible high res .5k satellite photo shows an insane eye, with the mini vortexes, etc. blob:https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/23d25d52-a94f-4476-b368-fed4d4c0dc75 The eastern 2/3rds of Jamaica are going to get raked for a prolonged period of time due to it being on the western semi-circle of the hurricane.

    Maybe just a wobbly, considering how strong it is, like top would?

    I hope it undergoes a prolonged ERC soon, which will weaken Melissa.

    Marshes and swamps are both wetlands, but not all welands are marshes or swamps. Swamps always have standing or slow moving water, and have trees, other woody plants. Marshes have grasses, other similar plants, are not always wet (but can be), but get flooded, usually along coastal plains, or near a river that floods.

    The fall colors on trees are muted this year due to this drought. We definitely can use the rain, but it will be too late to make those changing colors pop. Looking at the forecast models it doesn't look like much rain is in store for NJ in the next 5-7 days. One system will move to the west, in the Ohio River valley, up in to Canada. Maybe some showers overnight Sun in to Monday. I had hoped the system this past weekend would help change the pattern, but I guess not.

    No rain here since yesterday, but it is very breezy now.

    But this storm is not going to have a classic nor'easter path. It will only get so far north, before heading back south southeast, with no cold air having the ability to come in, even in the heart of winter.

    Base on my amateur eyes, and satellite photos, Nine's center looks very broad and disorganized right now. There is a closed low, but it is still a big mess. Wind shear seems to have let up a bit, but still exists. Plus Humberto is not far away, moving WNW at 10mph, at : 22.9°N 61.1°W. Nine is at Location: 22.4°N 76.5°W moving NW at 5mph. Can someone confirm on latest satellite that it looks more like NNW at this time as the cold front to the north west is blocking it from getting to the coast.

    So far wind shear still an issue.
  17. Wannabehippie
    Still looks like a mess on recent still color enhanced satellite photos. No closed center that I see.

    The other would be a Fujiwara effect to pull an Imelda away from the coast.

    94L isn't going to do anything until whatever circulation that is there, clears Hispaniola.
  20. Wannabehippie
    Borders? It is tabloid. They thrive on page Six stuff.

    Hurricane Josh aka iCycone aka Josh Morgerman is chasing this one in China.
  22. Wannabehippie
    Fujiwara dance.
  23. Wannabehippie
    Probably non-tropical, but still powerful as it approaches the Iberian peninsula.
  24. Wannabehippie
    94L is a mess right now, convection is being blown to the south blob:https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/8eb8282d-d465-4233-8984-b4cec830516f

    The wave behind gabrielle, the lemon on NHC site, looks like it would take a track further south and west of Gabrielle. The orange system, looks like it would track along where gabrielle has been. Still a lot of dry air out there in the Atlantic as well.
