That wouldn't surprise me. So much stock is put in these models so far in advance and people get the "it won't hit here" mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Winds picked up and are blasting against my windows. Simultaneously, temperature and dew point has dropped drastically, and I went outside and it feels like Fall! Ian dragged the 1st cold front of the season down here. likewise, this is not really a tropical cyclone anymore. It’s definitely sub-tropical at this point, and soon to be extra-tropical. Not to be underestimated tho, sub-tropical cyclones like Ian have enormous wind fields. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCWX Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Is it just me or is dry air getting sucked in? Also what’s up with the breaks in the infrared through NC? Is the front tearing it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much stock is put in these models so far in advance and people get the "it won't hit here" mentality. This is my biggest problem with the way the NHC/MEDIA informs the public on hurricanes. You always hear "forecasted to make landfall at xxxx location at xxxx wind speed". People don't have the patience or understanding to look at the cone or listen to a forecast discussion about possible strengthening beyond the forecast intensity. I would much rather the forecast to be simply to read out the locations within the cone of uncertainty, and to give percentages on possible strength at landfall. If they know they can't predict the exact landfall location and strength at landfall, they need to stop telling people that information like they can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I would have evacuated but they gave it a 15% chance of being a category 1" "I would have evacuated but they were listing off all the possible locations and I didn't have time for that." The only thing that'll improve forecasts is to better fund the National Weather Service and all other public weather agencies like the NHC. They are so severely under funded it's ridiculous. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPetrulli Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 More 70-75 knot SFMRs recorded in the NW quadrant. Organization definitely increasing on radar with an eyewall feature, at least temporarily, developing and becoming more defined on radar. Cold top also firing near the center coinciding with developing eyewall like feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdgwx Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 That’s very impressive, Irma for comparison was 125 TJTo be fair that calculator isn't doing a complete spatial integration so it is likely over estimating the true IKE possibly by a lot. For point of comparison the same calculator using the Sandy NHC advisory yields 300 TJ if I'm remembering correctly. But yeah it's still very impressive and people should be advised not to scoff at Ian's cat 1 status.Sent from my Pixel 5a using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPetrulli Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Dry dewpoints seems to be leading to convection wanning and being weak when it reaches land. Should change through the night, however 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on physical size too, Sandy was of a gigantic size. Buried power lines matter too, with power lines underground you'll see shorter outages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibertyBell Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 10 hours ago, jm1220 said: My town had no power for a month because of the power infrastructure problem FL will be dealing with. Places that didn’t flood in Sandy did get the power back in a week or so, and crews from IN and MO were in my town working on it. In areas that had saltwater intrusion into any power infrastructure it likely needs to be rebuilt entirely. Anything electric/metallic, the salt water destroys. I feel like I was lucky to get power back in 25 hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately parts of Florida is most likely looking at several weeks at least. It will really depend on how terribly the infrastructure took a hit, however, I have a feeling entire Substations are destroyed. Furthermore, I wonder how hard a hit the Fort Meyers Power Plant took. Surge would have been enough to destroy quite a bit of equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Just had a bumpy ride from ATL to RDU landing at 1:09am. The tracker on screen had a 50 mph wind down to 2000ft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Almost no net movement 11PM to 2AM (only ~3 mph) per NHC coordinates wasn't totally unexpected based on the Euro and UKMET as they had very slow movement then. However, they both had it speed up quite a bit from 2AM through 5AM. So, look for an increase in speed to start soon. If it doesn't and the 5AM is near the 2AM position, then we'd know the models are off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A thread of videos and photos of the inland flooding in central FL: Those images almost remind me of the tragic flooding pics of Harvey in TX around the developments, although so far Ian hasn't reached the obscenely excessive levels of rain that Harvey produced as a cutoff 'caine that just meandered around SE TX sucking in GOM moisture, and depositing it beneath where it traveled. Will have to see how close it does get to that amount of rain though. Ian has slowed a bit from the last update per the 5 am - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
