  1. Bahamian dews just can't compete with ours. Once it's up here, it'll soak up like a sponge and explosively intensify, even while tracking inland. It's science.
  2. Bursty convection, fugly appearance, battling dry air and shear. Has that funny secondary lobe of convection like Matthew did a few years back. Not classic by any means, but a good warm up exercise as we get into the meat of the season.
  3. Yes, given where we are diurnally, I'm impressed by how cold the tops are. Tonight will be interesting.
  4. It doesn't look terrible. Obviously sheared, but I frankly expected it to look worse today.
  5. Yes, the nearly exposed center is a classic hallmark of RI.
  6. Which is funny, considering what a gigantic wave it came from.
  7. Cowan noted Isaias' location near the entrance region of a healthy jet as it climbs the coast could argue for maintaining strength better than it might otherwise. We'll see. I'm not in any camp yet. These things are damn fickle. I didn't even manage a gust to 20 with a purported 60mph TS going to my west a few weeks ago.
  8. Yikes. Glad I had my trees pruned recently in that scenario.
  9. Someone needs to warn Galveston. Like, now.
  10. Of course. As I said, it's tropical FANTASY tracking season.
  11. lol 110 knots on LI. That would bring some trees down.
  12. I love tropical fantasy tracking season. Best part is it isn't even August!
  13. Has the center jumped north? Satellite would certainly suggest it. I suppose the flow banking up against the northern side of Hispaniola could encourage such a move. Interesting.
  14. Hoping for some big surf a la Bill when I'm back at Fishers in a few weeks.
  15. Plenty of tropical modeling porn to add to the spank bank this summer.
  16. Epic. The homeowner in me wishes to never see wind like that, but my inner weenie would give anything.
  17. Maybe Bob in '91? I'm not sure what category it was officially at landfall, but Block Island gusted to like 110 or 115.
  18. That's a sore subject. My earliest memory of a weather forecast disappointing.
  19. That hole is a treasure. Between the ocean and the pit, it's also claimed more balls than all the others combined. Course looks to be in good shape. Not nearly as burnt out as I would've guessed given the dry conditions recently.
