stormtracker Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 At any rate, United just issued the advisory. No change fees, etc. Problem is, there are no more non stops going out tonight. Even if I left tonight at 10, got a layover in Housto n from midnight to 7am...and I wouldn't get into CUN until 9:40am. I mean that's an hour and a half earlier than my current flight and hell...every hour counts. Not sure what I should do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well tomorrow 11 AM, you should be in good shape. Edit.............. ..... ... . . Ha..yeah, I get in tomorrow at 11am on my current flight. I'm wondering if I should just take the chance and leave tonight just to get there an hour and a half earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can drink and keep us posted on storm conditions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etudiant Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 If you're committed to go there, then leave tonight. It should allow you to avoid limbo at some airport. At worst then, you'll have an horrific honeymoon, with flooding and no power, which still beats being stuck at Houston International. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not my honeymoon..don't wish that on me!!! Just going down with some friends. We tried to go tonight...DC to IAH was fine..plenty of seats...IAH to CUN was full So stuck at the mercy of United and Nate. From everything I'm seeing, the winds, etc don't get to CUN until like 8pm...but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emblaze2 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Please tell me I'm not seeing the contrail of a recon flight zipping across the eye of Maria in this loop, so I can stop thinking that's what it is: http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/ramsdis/online/loop.asp?data_folder=loop_of_the_day/goes-16/20170921000000&number_of_images_to_display=200&loop_speed_ms=50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're seeing high canopy cirrus gyre above 300 mb spinning and pulling around. That is left over layer from the old eyewall convection remnants and upper level spillover from the new eyewall. We see that a lot when a new eye is clearing out or interacting with 200 mb shear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Keep having this feeling that Nate strengthens more than thought, and with such fast forward motion, wouldn't be much time for people to ramp up their preparedness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPITSnow Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Why does every tropical storm thread have to turn into an argument about who is right and wrong on intensity? I don't blame mods, btw, I blame the posters that have to act like they are 10 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlcater Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Does anyone know where I can find an archive of GOES data for the Atlantic basin? I can find satellite data archives. But they're in just about every sector I don't want lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorpion Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I'm thinking Cat 5 in the NW Caribbean in 7-8 days, threat to Florida but maybe between Florida and Cuba. Hopefully gets far enough NW before the trough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
