No 2 storms are ever the same and that's the beauty of wx/forecasting. Ultimately the next 12 to 18 hours and any RI will prob be what determines if this goes down as one of the greats or overhyped.

I have an issue with the term "overhyped"...because it can't be hype if the worst is a legit possibility. If it doesn't happen, not anybody's fault for over-selling!

The rapid intensification could be overhyped if it doesnt materialize (even though it likely will). From a weather perspective, it could be overhyped. From a life/property perspective you have a point.

Day-Cloud Phase showing an eye that is trying to clear out. Curious to see what happens in the next 2-4 hrs.

 It looks a thousand times better right now than it did a few hours ago. I think people just aren't impressed because they've been expecting RI this entire time. With almost nothing to impede development this has a lot of time to gradually gain strength until landfall tomorrow evening

Advanced Dvorak Technique doesn't always best describe it...

On a serious note, that's a nice demonstration of the NW of track deviation that has been observed of late.

I thought people were saying it was wobbling NE of track? 
 

I literally don’t know what to think lol.

That’s a fairly classic look, no? Again my eye is very untrained/weenie but it looks rather scary at the moment.

It is. Just basically has that final hurdle to clear the eye and then all systems go. I wasn't expecting the storm to really go bonkers till tonight. Still much within the envelope.

Seeing some symmetry in convective bursts as well, at least relative to this morning. Tonight will be very interesting as it traverses the warmest part of the loop current at Dmax

Exactly. Instability increases at night with cooler temps aloft, which should allow this thing to really continue ramping up at night over the Loop. I really wouldn’t be shocked if we saw this thing roll in at 150+ the way it’s strengthening during the day time

If we're 6 mph less than a Cat 3, I would've fudged the numbers a bit to get people to evacuate. 

Then you run the risk of recon getting in their and proving you very wrong. A special update can go out if needed.

I understand the sentiment but it's important to be accurate with your reporting.  Unfortunately we live in a country where science is already not trusted by many, fudging numbers to reach the next cat does not help that cause any.  I am sure the people who are going to get out are already doing so. 6mph isn't going to change many minds.
