  1. Same as it has looked for 3 days but moving faster.
  2. Latest Recon dropsonde 941mb.Hasn't changed since last night despite the CDO cooling trend.
  3. Cloud ring has been cooling again the last few hours. Might be starting another period of intensification.
  4. Another ERC underway on the latest recon. Pressure has gone down though. This managed to stay a CAT4 despite the dry air yesterday which is now gone.
  5. That was a quick erc. Latest recon shows outer eyewall is now stronger. Almost no sigs of an outer eyewall from the last mission. Mysterious storm.
  6. Eye is out again. Sam's fighting it's way back quickly over the last few hours.
  7. It has weakened enough that it could RI again.
  8. It's weakening faster than IDA after landfall.
  9. Does look like there's some wind shear eating apart the western side of the storm.
  10. The latest recon ob is hitting 64kt winds further out than yesterday it seems. The next set of obs will be telling. Edit: Nope still one eyewall
  11. Models showing only small fluctuations in inensity over the next few days. Wonder how long this can stay essentially a steady state CAT4?
  12. Here's how you know this is a fish storm. You don't see this quote in an nhc discussion when a storm is near land and warnings are up.
  13. A few years back Dorian had a ~137kt SFMR with about the same pressure and NHC didn't upgrade it to a CAT5 since FL winds weren't high enough. Wonder if they do the same here? Also there no rain flagged SFMR obs in the core. That's pretty unusual.
  14. Also I don't see any sign of an ERC in the wind or pressure data. Just one sharp wind max on both sides.
  15. PSU ewall site has a decent Goes 16 page too now. http://www.meteo.psu.edu/fxg1/PSUGOES_US/index.html
  16. Yes I'm using weather nerds, cyclonicWX and COD
  17. Only 95kt at 5AM. That eye is impressive though. This will probably make a run at CAT5 unless shear kicks in by tonight.
  18. Too bad there's no recon. This is likely intensifying at close to the same rate as Ida.
  19. Raw Adt up to 5.3. The eye is clearing out. Should be a major by 5am.
  20. After some dry air disruptions this morning the core looks great now.
  21. Euro just doesn't dig the troff. Neither model handles the pattern well 8 days out and they don't even have the T0 position right. Climo will probably win out here and it will end up re curving, as most ensembles show.
  22. Update: Visible satellite supports a 10.5N center. The 12z early cycle guidance has it at 10N. Still needs another cycle or 2 to close the gap.
  23. GFS has the vortex initialized at ~8.6N. Invest position also looks way too far south. I'm guessing it's actually at 10.5N-11N.
