RU4Real Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but based on recollection the 14 kt motion seems unusually fast for a storm of this caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No weaker despite a bit poorer satellite appearance this morning. She's a beast. If she can avoid much land interaction, it's hard to see the steady weakening the NHC calls for.

bluewave Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 #Irma now has the lowest pressure (914 mb) on record outside of the Gulf of Mexico or western Caribbean in the satellite era (since 1966) https://mobile.twitter.com/EricBlake12/status/905374525331841024?p=v #Irma has now had max winds of 180+ mph for past 24 hrs - an Atlantic hurricane record. Old record was Allen w/ 18 hours of 180+ mph winds https://mobile.twitter.com/philklotzbach/status/905445230005989377?p=v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeeffectkid383 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 It looks to me like the eye is beginning to shrink just a bit and on satellite it looks like the total width of the storm is increasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazzo83 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I think we'll see the next period of deepening once she hits the literal bath waters near the Bahamas. SSTs around 90 f'ing degrees there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been through there many times, on the way to Saint Barths. Recovery for all three of those islands (including Anguilla) will be brutal, but especially SBH. The harbor was inundated and the airport can only take prop planes that come in from SXM or SJU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwohweather Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I don't see anyway this thing weakens before FL without a hit on Cuba. That water is like jet fuel to her west with little shear and dry air to speak of. IMO the NHC has to realize this thing is like Michael Jordan, it's going to do things nothing else has before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Posted this earlier, still looks to be the same. St. Thomas is going to take a direct hit unless a significant Northern shift occurs very soon. According to the radar, an island wide tornado warning has been issued for that island, although I cannot locate the text anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatamy Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Per San Juan radar Irma is doing Necker Island and Richard Branson's place as I type this post. Hopefully they are secure in that concrete wine cellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbullsfan Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 noob question i was hoping someone could help, the tracks early yesterday seemed to have the current wnw trend over PR but than taking more of a directly western track for a day or 2 before turning back nw and to the north. What has caused this dramatic change that seems to be affecting the models because the current track seems right on line with where the older models had it while ending up on the western side of Florida. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
