This was never going to be a storm you make into a screensaver. It might make a brief run at Cat 3 overnight before the shear/dry air twin hammer hit tomorrow. Like others said it might resemble more a mid latitude nor’easter eaten away by dry air when it comes in. Still a significant surge/wind impact near landfall and big flood/tornado threat east of the center where training bands set up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve just seen a lot of eye candy the last few years in low sheer environments. This is a gulf cane of old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavarreDon Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Sometimes we get spoiled by the symmetry of perfect monster canes. I’m one who marvels at their beauty! I can tell you that as someone who sits in the crosshairs of this system, regardless of dry air & especially shear…I’m still quite fidgety tonight! . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach McGuirk Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago My cousin lives on Pine Island, Florida. She was actually glad there was a strong El-Nino. She knows the weather like me. She is tired of the hurricanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Not seeing a whole lot of chatter online regarding the inland wind threat. A broadening cyclone, fast motion and a tight gradient with the HP to the NE screams widespread 50-70 mph gusts that go on a lot longer than your typical system. Hope folks are prepared. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's your Opal 1995, Dennis 2005, Lili 2002 type. Although those peaked higher than this one will so this will likely be even weaker coming in. The more recent storms like Laura and Michael are the exception in the N Gulf. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 55 minutes ago, WxWatcher007 said: Idk…I’ve been a believer in GDM and the ensembles get bullish tonight on the peak. LF intensity is anyone’s guess but I’m probably with you on 90-95mph at landfall. Love me some tropical sunsets. Be safe down there. I’m not chasing this one (wife’s birthday lol) New one should be out there in a few hours. Perfect timing imo. We'll see...should interesting to watch play out.

Radtechwxman Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Going to pass over that warm eddy to with much improved structure now. Shear shouldn't be too bad overnight. I could see a cat 3 peak potentially. By afternoon tomorrow it will start feeling effects of much higher shear and eventually drier air towards coast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I’m going with an overnight/morning peak of 105 kts and a LF at 80 kts Looking at the presentation on the WV right now and this seems very plausible. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tornado threat for AL/GA will be significant as well. Atlanta will be under the gun from both strong easterly winds and the tornado threat on Saturday. I wouldn't be surprised to see a moderate risk on Saturday for the area currently under a slight from the SPC if things hold serve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radtechwxman Posted 6 minutes ago Share Posted 6 minutes ago Nhc has it hitting 115 now. Not surprising based on structure improvement. 105 mph now and 969 mb. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
