So bad. I guess they must be so busy and they figure everyone knows anyways, but it’s crazy to see a bank of graphics without mention of the cat 4 coming 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPITSnow Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 When I woke up about 5 hours ago the convective ring and eyewall was not even completely closed. Now it's a solid ring, which is incredibly favorable for both rapid deepening and maintaining that intensity. Recon indicating 130 mph from last pass about an hour ago. I know we're all thinking it, could easily become Cat 5 especially cause diurnal convective max happening right before landfall. -Turtle Hurricane Of course he is going to be the met that weenie's out and says a cat 5 is incoming. I asked him if he thought the COC would reform over little rock later today but it unfortunately got deleted rather quickly. This guy can't be a real met, right?

He’s not only a real met, but he interned at the NHC before he was even an adult, discovered an unnamed tropical storm, was an early bitcoin investor, and studied at the greatest institution in the big 10. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Main thing g down there is to enforce the mask “law” while people are escaping 130mph winds and 15’ storm surge because we don’t want their health and safety put at risk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down The Rabbit Hole Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 What's the chance we get a "Storm Surge Emergency" out of this, especially if Calcasieu/Lake Charles catches the eastern EW? Or would they just include that in a standard Flash Flood Emergency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wmsptwx Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 It does seem kind of lackluster pressure for such a high wind, and it’s a large system. Very interesting stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
