Drz1111 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Just now, OSUmetstud said: Irma is has a relatively large and stable eye at this time so it should be less susceptible to erc. Yep. Like almost all long-track CV storms that go through multiple ERCs and track under the dry subtropical atlantic ridge, it has some annular characteristics; less banding, bigger eye. Generally a more stable flavor of storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we just call a duck a duck? No clue why everyone is so timid of the "A-word." It is annular right now imo, especially when looking at IR.

It is annular right now imo, especially when looking at IR. I mean, compare to Luis and Isabel. Those are what true annular hurricanes look like (and there are examples in the E. Pac as well - Dora's the best one) It's not really all the way there b/c the CDO is thick enough relative to the eye that it likely hides some banding features. But compared to your standard atlantic basin TC, it's clearly using a high percentage of its potential intensity and the eyewall is stable. This isn't a Wilma.

Drz1111 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 To get more into the annular question, below is an image from one of the most important papers on the topic. The best example of the marginal case has always been Edouard, which IIRC never quite looked annular but has been characterized as such based on its intensity relative to TCHP and stability when it looked like the below. The other storms all have a higher eye size / CDO ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah almost always they fall off the chart back down to Cat 4 immediately. That is a signal right there just how unprecedented this storm is going to be.

donsutherland1 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Potentially of concern is the idea that Irma would weaken somewhat (not surprising), but then strengthen just as it nears the Florida Peninsula. Put another way, the possibility of Irma's becoming the 4th Category 5 hurricane on record to make U.S. landfall since 1851 may be increasing.
