Chinook Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 The hurricane must have gone very close to this buoy, but maybe not right on. Quick calculation says that this measured 972.5 mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post WxWatcher007 Posted August 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2023 I’m ok. Very bad signal. Absolutely extraordinary eyewall in Perry. Extensive tree damage and significant roof damage throughout the area. Not just uprooted, snapped in half. Incredible lightning as well. It was insane. Will post more when I can. 44 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Some good news. Compared to the 5AM NHC forecast, it has weakened quite a bit more quickly than forecasted then. The 5AM had Idalia still with winds of 100 mph as of 2PM. But as of 1PM, winds were already down to 80. The 11AM had adjusted for this quicker weakening because it was already down to 90 then. This updated forecast had it weakening from 90 at 11AM to 75 at 8PM. But with it already down to 80 at 1PM, it appears that it is weakening even more quickly than the 11AM NHC forecast. Edit: down to 75 at 2PM vs the 11AM still having 75 at 8PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ERC just before landfall had a hand in a quicker spin down than first anticipated, and not the feared to be rapidly deepening thru landfall scenario. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not. It appears that the center may be tracking inland of Savannah a decent amount, which would keep winds down somewhat vs how high they might have otherwise been. Combined with the quicker weakening vs NHC forecasts that I just posted about, that combination would be good news to keep winds down from how high it earlier appeared winds might get. I earlier thought outages would be widespread along with numerous trees down throughout the area. That may still end up being the case as winds are picking up and will get strong by late afternoon. But perhaps it won't be as bad as earlier feared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
