WishingForWarmWeather Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Does anyone have one of those gifs that shows the NHC tracks across each advisory time? I'd love to see one but cannot locate where it would be found, if anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavarreDon Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 HF winds 10 miles further from the center than earlier today. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 miles (295 km).

Crazy4Wx Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Current track now is the worst case for MIA to Palm Beach. MIA gets either the eye or eyewall and the city and east coast is in the RUQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdcrds4 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Can someone tell me what effect Sarasota would have if the center went right where the 5pm update has it? i know it can change either way but just if it went where the 5pm update has it right up the middle of the state what effect do you think i would get in Sarasota thanks i am just trying to figure out weather to leave or stay.

This track pretty much drives all the surge into Miami, moving NW, and puts Miami in the Right Upper Quadrant. If it is Cat 4-5 when it comes in and/or is strengthening...I wouldn't be surprised if you saw a surge higher than Andrew, so maybe 15-20. But I will let the professional mets comment on the surge.

Hurricane (80s) gusts Sunday evening through the overnight, mainly out of the N/NNW. Onshore fetch begins Monday AM as winds ease up, so depends on your exposure and distance to water. Track goes West and it's obviously worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 fwiw, 892 mb is the lowest barometric pressure ever observed in the US, which was during the 1935 hurricane. But that was in the Keys. I *think* the US mainland record is around 920 mb, and if that's the case, Irma might have a shot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if there's anything lower than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wkd Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 44 minutes ago, Wow said: FWIW, the 18z NAM is back further north, about brush the E coast of FL I wonder if the more northerly track is due to the slight jog north that occurred shortly after 12Z. See if the GFS follows suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forecasterjack Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 GOES16 satellite data is showing Irma restrengthening and rebuilding its western side this evening. Not a good sign for Florida. Irma was having trouble with dry air and shear earlier today, she seems to have kicked those right out of the way.

bluewave Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 As of 5 EDT (21 UTC ), Irma has been Cat 5 storm for 66 consecutive hours. Satellite era record for N. Atlantic was 42 hours (Mitch, David). https://mobile.twitter.com/Climatologist49/status/905898336053370880?p=p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanskip Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 18z GFS a bit SW of 12z position through 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy1987 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 On my phone, however through 30 on 18z GFS looks a bit further south of its 12z position and is darn close to Cuba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterymix Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I know people are looking at the 18Z runs but I placed the 12Z EURO and 12 GFS on the simple chart below. Quite convincing how the range of uncertainty is collapsing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
