Hurricane Ian

Are any of the models running now accounting for the latest intensity recon is finding at this hour?  Ian looks stronger now than NHC had forecast at 11 am.  Those of you who study gulf canes, is it a sound assumption that higher intensity will resist eastward steering more resulting in a more Northward track for longer vs a weaker storm?

Didn’t happen with Charley. 
 

This is already feeling the trough.

So I remember hearing that the HWRF and GFS pull from a lot of the same data when it comes to the track of storms, yet we have the HWRF showing an apocalyptic Tampa strike and the GFS is around Sarasota, why the difference?  The HWRF also has a significantly stronger storm, which also looks more realistic than what the GFS initialized at and is forecasting.

In 30-36 hours, 12z HWRF & HMON both show Ian as a high end Cat 4 just off the FL coast. This is looking increasingly concerning. The impacts are likely going to be devastating. Be safe everyone! 

 

worrisome that recon is indeed also showing the type of intensification that could easily take Ian into high end C4 territory.

Global model resolution isn't high enough to accurately model pressures in intense TCs. Values from the GFS and especially the EURO and UKMET shouldn't be taken verbatim.

GFS is a global model and should be used more for track purposes vs strength.
