This could end up being like Typhoon Mawar back in May which fell apart for a day and then rapidly strengthened back to a super Typhoon.
-
Last hour you mean. It's been keeping the steady 5-6mb /hrs pace since 11am
-
Sfmr probably overdone, but still safely a cat 5 now.
-
That eps member in NJ ain't verifying.
-
So about a 47mb pressure drop in 9 hrs assuming it was 983 at 11am.
-
The hafs did show that ring signature though.
-
Another hour maybe to get to the center.
-
Even NHC mentioned the ADT constraints this time in the discussion. There have been 6 hours if Raw T numbers over 6 now with a current reading of 6.8.
-
30mb pressure drop since the last advisory. That could be conservative for all we know.
-
The eye has improved a lot in the last hour, kind of reminds me of Dorian undergoing RI. They could probably skip cat 3 on the next advisory and go straight to 4.
-
Seems Idiala had a much harder time clearing out the eye.
-
The Hurricane models show it strengthening very little until tomorrow afternoon when convection wraps around the north side, then it's bombs away, especially overnight tomorrow.
-
Charlie and Ida kept deepening until landfall despite having concentric eyewalls. This outer eyewall seems to be providing a stable feeder band to the inner eyewall at the moment, helping maintain organization if anything.
-
The eye does appear to be a little small given the size of the CDO. This usually indicates that there will be an ERC at some point. Only about 8 to 10 hrs before landfall though.
-
Starting to think that my 125kt 940mb landfall prediction from this morning might end up being too conservative.
-
There was almost a 100% of it intensifying a lot over the next 6 hrs. Easy call by NHC to stay ahead of it.
-
The eyewall has improved quite a bit. There will probably be a decent wind increase in the next pass through the eastern portion of the eye.
-
~975mb seems to be a a common spot where RI starts. Happened with Micheal, IDA, Laura, Dorian and too many other for me to list.
-
Hurricane Ida had a similar pressure 24 hrs from landfall and it easily made Cat4.
-
HAFS A now 933mb 131kts at landfall, at landfall close to a cat 5

The CMC has more ridging off the SE coast and doesn't dig the troff in the NE nearly as much. I understand why it shifted west of it's 12z run. The GFS on the other hand, just randomly decided to take it west of 18z for no apparent reason
-
The center may have wobbled or reformed a little to the southeast judging by both radar and recon obs.
-
Appears like a possible definitive center is trying to form near the western tip of Cuba on radar.
-
For once the ADT underestimated something. Impressive storm.
