wxmx Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Newton is getting it's act together and is threatening the Los Cabos area. SHIPS has an RI index of 60-70% probability of a >25mb deepening in the next 24 hours. Landfall is expected in 24 hours as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Reimer Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Bombs away! Recon will be in the system around 2100Z (4 PM CT). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaEasternWX Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I can't tell if this is just a glitch in the wind instrument but apparently recon found 002030 2542N 11102W 3593 08404 0470 -183 -313 079017 018 106 001 03 106 knot flight level winds in Newton or 121 mph. If so Baja should get ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Josh Morgerman is in Cabo. He recorded a 984 mb pressure inside the eye, so it was similar in strength to Hermine. Both systems just ran out of time to strengthen further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both systems just ran out of time to strengthen further. Hey, how's it going? NEWTON was actually a much stronger hurricane than HERMINE. For one thing, the official landfall intensity of NEWTON was 80 kt, whereas it was 70 kt for HERMINE. And on the ground, there was no comparison. HERMINE felt very mild. I actually drove through its E eyewall into the eye and was pretty underwhelmed by it. NEWTON had some kick to it-- those winds really cranked when we got in the core. So while the central pressures may have been comparable, that's not the whole story. NEWTON was way more of a hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, both had relatively large wind radii, but Newton was more tropical, with wind maxima more focused around the center, hence the stronger winds with it.
