Hurricane Ian

Based on how Ian looks now structurally, I'm surprised NHC is only forecasting Ian to hit 130mph now. I think that's a bit conservative imo. I get it took a 10mph drop in winds and 13mb increase in pressure but that isn't bad considering hours over mountainous terrain. 

Peak strength is often underestimated nowadays.

Trying to clear out a stadium effect eye right after Cuba lol

Thank you for sharing so others can find their locations vs asking IMBY questions.

41 kt gust measured at Key West International ASOS - 121 nm from the center.

GFS is identical to the last run almost. Crawling up the coast south of Sarasota

[MattPetrulli]

It'll come in a different area than Irma, but the satellite appearance, last minute shifts, expansion of the wind field after Cuba, and the angle of approach remind me a lot of Irma. Of course, east coast probably won't be hit as hard since Irma was massive, but think it's a valid comparison.

It’s actually north and west of 6z

[Superstorm93]

(Just in case anyone else is reading this) 

Please, do NOT consult this thread (or any) to make decisions whether or not to evacuate. 

I'm begging you guys to listen to your county/local emergency management officials for all storm related information.

It's not, it's virtually identical 

Edit: Sorry, after the LF point it is north and west. My bad.

[Floydbuster]

 

What a beaut.

[wxeyeNH]

At 30 hours GFS is a bit west again.

[Superstorm93]

Last 4 cycles of the GFS 

[weatherwiz]

The improvements with the eye over the past even 30-minutes alone is quite noteworthy. Clearing out quite nicely and trying to become more symmetrical by the (satellite) update. 

[SnowGoose69]

Appears through 24 the GGEM will finally join the party and come further east but remains to be seen

[wxeyeNH]

12Z GFS  Landfall Thursday 2am.   Just NW of Ft Myers area.  975mb.   This position is slightly NW of last run

[Superstorm93]

Pretty substantial amount of lightning continues within the core of the storm. 

 

[MattPetrulli]

Last pass adjusting for flight levels and SFMR supports 110-115 MPH on 11 AM advisory

Does that signify something?

I read a long time ago that it could be a sign of weakening, but then I've seen multiple hurricanes like Michael and Ida have increased lightning right before they rapidly deepen.

How is this a 963mb storm??  I hate to disagree with the NHC on anything, but this makes no sense to me, there's just no way?  ADT has this in the 930s, and that looks about right based on presentation.

ADT is an algorithm. We literally have recon in the storm right now. 

Stop.

Usually it's a sign of RI

[clskinsfan]

NW quadrant of the core has really ramped up over the past hour. Eye looks much better now as well. Sad news for Florida.

[hawkeye_wx]

Satellite looks great, but the southern eyewall did just move back over water in the last 20 minutes.  The pressure should respond once the inner core is full over water again and the friction is gone.

12Z UKMET furthest SE track yet with landfall only 20 miles north of Naples/20 miles south of Ft. Myers, goes across FL to Melbourne, and then 2nd landfall Charleston:

Cool video from NOAA plane

 

[HKY_WX]

I think we're about to see Ian's Wind/Pressure respond in a big way. Vis Sat is spectacular. Central Florida is going to get rocked now that it looks like it's not going to stall offshore.

[jbenedet]

Still see a heading slightly east of due north.
