  1. Wait a minute, there’s no way with an eye that’s at best been 10nm miles wide today lol
  2. Recon is descending now. Should start getting data shortly.
  3. I know what you mean. I’m guessing they will raise intensity slightly at 5 a sent recon, and then we’ll see what’s going on under the hood when this latest plane gets there.
  4. They’re certainly doing the best they can. They’re weenies as much as we are. But they have limited crews, planes, and procedural schedules to live by—probably some of it for safety reasons.
  5. Yeah, this is about as structurally sound as it gets. Hopefully the recon will get back in there soon to continue documenting it, but unless there’s a messy ERC the HAFS-B might be right in the structural changes in the next 24-30 hours.
  6. Models continue to develop a modest low. Do you think it’ll have enough to become fully tropical?
  7. @GaWx now have a lemon on the FL east coast. That one has a good chance to get a name if it can stay tropical. Everything spinning is becoming a TC in the basin right now.
  8. There are only a handful of Atlantic systems with this kind of evolution. This is the second fastest hurricane to go from C1 to C5. Only behind Wilma.
  9. Zero doubt in my mind that it’s continuing to intensify. Whether the next recon flight confirms that…idk. This is remarkable.
  10. This will be the storm of record for Tampa.
  11. An all timer of a VDM. 912mb 158kt FL wind peak Severe turbulence in the NW & NE eyewall 11°C temperature difference in eyewall Flocks of birds observed in the eye
  12. They did a phenomenal job getting so many passes in.
  13. Reminder that SFMR are not being used operationally by the NHC for the rest of the season.
  14. Given the warming of the eye, the pinhole nature, and recon data, this is continuing to rapidly intensify. With no end in sight yet. Extraordinary.
  15. I thought I was being reasonable last night with a peak of 160/919. We’re going to blow well past that.
  16. It’s amazing how jet interactions have helped a number of our hurricanes this season.
  17. Peak Season Forecast (Aug 20-Oct 20) Named Storms: 15 (8) Hurricanes: 10 (6) Major Hurricanes: 5 (3) Francine (H), Gordon, Helene (MH), Isaac (H), Joyce, Kirk (MH), Leslie (H), Milton (MH)
