Scott747 Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Second recon is booking it. Might get there before landfall. First one spent extra time in the eye so it might be tight for it to make another pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HillsdaleMIWeather Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 They just got an 892 extrapolated so it's strengthening while they're in the eye. Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTWeatherFreak Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Anybody near a tv, forget TWC. Fox Weather doing a great job with nonstop coverage including great shots from the planes inside the eye. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, we could have ground truth of the strongest or 2nd strongest landfall ever in the Atlantic basin. At least in recorded history. Josh has instruments staged. https://x.com/iCyclone/status/1983153842108907672 His latest tweet of where he is 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan11295 Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Can't imagine the wind gusts that will occur at elevated locations with this storm. Fortunately a lot of buildings there are concrete block at least. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Jeff Piotrowski is live from Santa Cruz. He should get the eastern eyewall: https://x.com/jeff_piotrowski/status/1983145649861202156?s=12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windspeed Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 I can't post an image right now, but the low-level cloud swirl pattern near the surface inside the eye of Melissa right now is very indicative of multiple (at least five or six) large mesovorticies rotating around the eye. If that persists through landfall, pretty much any location inside the eyewall, regardless of quadrant, is going to get wrecked. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDreamTraveler Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Gotta hand it to the couple of models that were predicting this to get pressure to the 880's a week or two ago. I know some people didn't believe it'd get that low but here we are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee59 Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 I doubt you find anything on the coast near landfall. Mandeville should be in the eyewall or just east and I believe it is somewhat elevated, bad scenario. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov6mC9CdGVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Small wobble left… I think Josh may actually have nailed it. Won’t be dead center but he should get into the eye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan63 Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 My wife and I honeymooned in White House and have been back a few times, traveling from Montego Bay to the South Coast. I don't think most people fully understand the poverty levels in Jamaica, particularly as you get into the mountains. Small shacks and houses not built out of concrete. Just gutted for the people and hoping it somehow doesn't pan out the way it's looking. 4 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Lookner on Youtube is live with some pretty good cams from the AP that he paid for. They are in Kingston. And I am shocked how strong the winds are there already. This is going to be a horrific tragedy for all of Jamaica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
