  1. The favorable conditions really collapse on tonight's Euro once Melissa gets to Jamaica.
  2. Tonight's hurricane models (HWRF, HMON, HAFS) are no longer showing Melissa moving toward the west to the south of Jamaica. They are all now moving the center nw to wnw into eastern Jamaica.
  3. Yeah, given the current structure as it moves into diurnal max, it should be a good night.
  4. It appears the surface and mid levels are finally beginning to come together. The convection is looking significantly better organized and now recon is finding the pressure dropping below 1000 mb. Also, the center continues to be pulled eastward while the convection tries to wrap back westward toward the center.
  5. Based on the final recon pass and the visible loop, it appears the center has jogged northwest, and is now west of the NHC forecast.
  6. HAFS models have jumped northeast again this morning. Now they hit Jamaica from the east.
  7. Upper 20s were scattered across western, northern, and east-central Iowa this morning. The Cedar Rapids airport briefly hit 28º. Here in the city there was just a light skin of ice on the bird bath and some light frost. Tomorrow morning should be a bit colder.
  8. There has been a northeast shift on the models overnight. The Google DeepMind ensembles have come into much better agreement that Melissa will now get pulled northeastward first before it turns west. All of yesterday's tracks that went well southwest of Jamaica are gone. The HAFS models agree with this.
  9. The surface center has once again been spit out toward the west as the convection is unable to hold onto it.
  10. As often happens, our low temp the next couple mornings has been gradually lowered as it approaches. Now we may get to near freezing. I have to get the rest of my garden cuttings today before plants get zapped.
  11. It appears the surface center was pulled a bit northeast by the overnight convection, but the future track has not changed. The 00z and 06z Euro show what will happen if Melissa can stay far enough sw to get caught under the building ridge this weekend. It would likely explode into a spectacular hurricane.
  12. This is a very weak system. As you say, if it's even closed it's just barely. All of the convection was lost this morning, so it may even be weakening. It will likely have another nice convective blow-up just east of the center tonight.
  13. The new Euro is more like its ensembles. It tracks a bit farther sw over the next couple days, which then allows it to get caught under the ridge and turned toward the wsw. It also blows up south of Jamaica.
