Yo mate, I logged on just to advise you that over time, your commentary, taken as a whole, visits damage to otherwise interesting observation threads. I'll refrain from speculation on what "GBP" means.

Have a quiet day.

Great British pound. Now have a brew and a Jaffa cake while I track Erin

Looking thru the various sites i have,  looking at the uAlbany site  for the euro,gfs, cmc ensembles,  the 06z forecast is only goes to,  it's showing the 12z storm actual plot, the storm is south of all 3 of those models forecast...

 

Here are 2 storm verification charts  both are for location i do believe.

Erin continues to remain on the southern side of forecast spread today, but that may not matter much for possible impacts from NC to SE New England. Will Erin re-intensify now that her eyewall replacement cycle is done?

Starting to make about half of my posts paid this week, so I encourage all of you tropical freaks to subscribe and support my work so you can see all of my hurricane-related posts.

OI
RECKON EKIN WILL SCORE ANOTHER CAT 5 GOAL? got a mate watching her live in the love island villa he crashed while I’m pissed from last night in Pacha
Disappointed she’s a category 3 but oh well steaming hot water ahead and low shear now that she’s fixing her eyewall after a trip to specsavers

Though I do think Erin's core will complete organizing a new dominate and large eyewall at some point in the next few days, I think the RMW will have spread out too much for Erin to become a Category 5 again. When we have fast smooth transitions between EWRCs in the highest end TCs, the handoff of the windfield to new eyewall can allow the new eyewall to keep the RMW still somewhat compact or at least recontract it. Therefore, if the new eyewall remains with intense convection, the resultant pressure plunge can allow the TC to reapproach or even surpass its former peak. But the atmospheric and thermal environment has to remain prestinely favorable. We saw this with Irma through several EWRCs, Ian also comes to mind, among others, as Atlantic examples. Certainly, plenty of WPAC typhoons have reintensified dramatically after EWRCs. But in Erin's case, though it should get its act together and may reintensify some, it will likely run out of time to contract its RMW too much regardless of a dominate eyewall due to increasing shear on Monday through Wednesday. I could see it reaching Category 4 again, maybe, but I seriously doubt it could pull off Category 5 again. So, to answer your question,

No Sir...

Excellent post. Erin is really struggling to reorganize after the EWRC. Personally I think it may be down sloping same dry air off the mountains of Hispaniola. The sw quadrant seems to be the issue currently.
