NJwx85 Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Trying to post images here is awful. In any event, several of the 18z models have Irma reaching CAT 4 intensity by tomorrow and one reaches cat 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 180 hr and after the EPS mean is further north than the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazey Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Not hard to see how this is ramping up so quickly. It's looks mean with that small diameter eye. As someone noted earlier, it will have time to go through several ERC so size will only get larger from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it doesn't mean anything at this point & I don't know much about Tropical Storms, but verbatim if that was the direction/strength of Irma, wouldn't S Florida deal with a ton of surge being that it is on the NE side of the storm?

olafminesaw Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'd say the odds of a Major making landfall in the US are over 50% at this point. Which is obscene at this range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 It looks to me like the EPS is split into two main camps, one similar to the OP which takes the system into the Gulf of Mexico and the other which takes this up the East Coast.

Of course this could change 7-10 days out. Don't focus on the red coloration. That depth is far beyond overkill for a non-stalled hurricane and Oceanic Heat Potential. Anything over 70 kJ^-3 is potent for a moving hurricane. The 26° isotherm is very deep from 50W all the way to the Gulf Stream. Great point.

Let's hope not. I would think the eastern trough/Atlantic ridge would roll it away if it did aim for the coast. If the jetstream goes into a zonal flow, then all bets are off (but that trough has been very persistent this summer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdgwx Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Here is the UKMET out to 168 and COAMPS out to 120. It looks like UKMET splits the difference between the ECMWF and GFS. COAMPS has it as a cat 4 with a 951mb pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The highest mountains are on the far eastern end, there is a small patch in the middle but by far the worst mountain range that would disrupt a circulation is near Hispaniola. This rides the north shore, offshore at that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, not to mention the ridge strengthens along the East coast which is why it moves west and not west northwest into Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wow Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 All a matter of if and when the cutoff ULL occurs and how far south it sinks. Sinks way south with HP over the northeast it's a SE drill. Stays over the midwest like the Euro shows at day 10, it's a peek into the GOM and a sharp turn north and rakes the SE and possibly the entire east coast.

The thing to watch though too, with tropical systems especially of this magnitude, everything in the mid latitude tends to slow down. There is no guarantee that the trough sets up in the southeast at that point, could set up in the plains even, especially if a massively strong ridge forms in front of it behind the first trough.

TriPol Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Help me understand something with tropical systems? A high-pressure system will block a tropical low-pressure system from entering the area where the high pressure is. Like if we had a high pressure directly over us, a tropical system couldn't push the high pressure out of the way. So then a trough kicks a tropical system in the direction it's going and can sometimes absorb a weaker tropical system. So we have to look at where the high and low pressure systems are setup in about a week from now, meaning that by next weekend, somewhere in the Eastern US could experience a hit from a major hurricane system. Anywhere from the keys all the way up to here. Is this a correct observation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
