    What a difference 8 hours makes

    I think there's going to be two factors at play leading to steady state through landfall: baroclonic forcing leading to pressure drop (seeing now), and shear weakening one half of the storm allowing dry air in and an expansion of the wind field

    Wow, confirmation from the second plane too, 951.5 at least. So probably ~956mb
  7. olafminesaw
    Whoa, need confirmation from the drop, but 952.8 MB extrap , vs the pass before at 958.0 (drop was 963)

    The Nokia 3310 of hurricanes

    It's way out there, but the NAM has a pretty nasty signature for tornadoes on the back end on Sunday

    This radar image from recon seems to refute any signs of ERC that microwave indicated a few hours earlier

    Destin has a bunch of dense housing and touristy buildings/hotels right on/near the beach too, one of the more vulnerable areas that's more urban
  13. olafminesaw
    Seemingly no pressure rose yet. First pass 957 extrap

    Kinda looks like a double eyewall has appeared?

    Good writeup on Opal here, provides an excellent analog for impacts, albeit Opal was a category stronger at peak and landfall. Supports the idea of 10 ft storm surge and 100 mph + gusts at landfall along the immediate coast with hurricane Force gusts just inland https://www.weather.gov/mob/opal

    Coming in now for a rare pass #6

    Down from 960 to 959 MB on that latest dropsonde. Convection doing work

    Another convective tower trying to wrap around the eye as it fights some intense shear on the West side. Wish we had one more pass to see if pressure drops or holds steady
  20. olafminesaw
    Likely near peak intensity at just over major hurricanes strength right now with pressure leveling off around 960 MB and winds catching up to pressure now supporting a major hurricane around 115-120 at the surface
  21. olafminesaw
    A nice way to display the impacts (I think a little over cooked on the inland gusts though)
  22. olafminesaw
    The latest blend of models. Still looking promising
  23. olafminesaw
    Also we've seen how storms can maintain higher gusts as they weaken for a time. Plus with the broadening of the wind field inland gusts to 50mph+ will be quite widespread, which is impactful with all the trees

    Looks like it had to abort the mission although it's weird it didn't fly back to where it took off

    I would expect one more significant ramp up tonight before it hits the shredder Tommorow
