Wilma holds the record for the fastest intensification..........

What is that, roughly 175 mph? And approximately 55mb drop in 16 hours? Wild. Pressure still falling, too. I think the lowest pressure ever recorded in the Atlantic was sub-900mb, though, if memory serves me correctly. So we still have a ways to go before we get there.

178.3 to be more precise. Weathermom if you’re reading agree with Ray here regarding trying your best not to worry. You will have plenty of time to work out a plan with your boy should you need to actually get him. I plan on making preparations around my house Saturday just in case. Extra propane etc. but reality it won’t be until Monday Tuesday the earliest before we really hone in on the track.

Thats the one nice thing about apartment dwelling, the only preparation you need to do is keep your cars away from trees and if winds would be more than 70-80mph (Anything Sandy like can be managed here) maybe tape the windows and def pull in window AC's. After Sandy sadly they took down most of our trees and Isiais took care of the remaining in 2020. A bit too sunny in the afternoon have to close blinds. I suppose also gasing up the car, bad part though? If power is lost theres no option for a generator. We suffered for 7 days during Sandy. Sucked.

Ya but wasn't she in the GOM? Have we had a pressure sub 900mb or even close in this area of atlantic?

Caribbean/Gulf, yes. But for sake of record keeping, it’s all considered the North Atlantic from what I understand. As for this particular area? I don’t know, and that would take a lot of research which I don’t have time to do haha

No, i know its all north atlantic, and ya def don't waste ur time on that. Save ur energy for potentially some intense tracking next week. IMO you never rule out a storm even if track says OTS until it is past the EC. These storms like to do funny loops and stuff.

Between tracking and possibly preparing for the worst/evacuating, yeah, I’ll probably be living on a steady stream of Bang energy drinks hahaha don’t forget, I currently live on a barrier island lol

WOW

I have a silly question does a storm ever become too strong or too big for the hunters to fly into? Was always curious

As bernie says windshield wiper especially this far out euro came very far east from yesterday missing offshore but still a close call gfs further west thsn euro and cmc hit cape cod. Up to 165mph cat 5 crazy.

I’m not sure…..I’ve never heard of that happening before. Then again, that’s not saying much haha

Looks to my novice eyes that the system maybe starting and eye wall replacement cycle as the eye is not as clear. Storm really ramped up rapidly yesterday

You beat me to it Phil. Im pretty sure you are dead on with that assessment. I was coming on to say the same thing.

So by next Wed when I move a year closer to Doc but I never seem to catch up we will see where with a better view

Looks like Lee may have weakened, 942mb and 120kt winds on first pass. Eyewall replacement cycle or something else impacting him? NHC says he was going to maintain cat 5 but may not be. Tack looks about the same everything still east of US, but man what a spread on the ensembles, they got no clue after he starts to turn and even when does he start to turn, I see one ensemble actually takes him to FL.

dont let the ERC fool you Jon. It will ramp right back up today. Already is with each successive pass.

ERC just about complete

Figured it was ERC, I guess I am looking at the recon incorrectly what I saw was 928mb, and then up to 940, or was it the other way around 940 and now 928?

Massive storm wow, he will be far reaching and will probably expand more once heading north so even if offshore may still be direct impacts.

no the ERC def cause the pressure to rise. Went from 928 to 942, but the pressure will drop again throughout the day.

Wow, some great posts in this thread by Ray, Scott and others. Very informative and educational. I feel caught up!

If this trough over the eastern U.S. developed a few days earlier, we would be talking about a major hurricane barreling into some area along the coast...



As of now looks like the primary impact will be high surf. I think we can deal with that!

Alright, this is too close for comfort

There have been runs right over the cape Frank, go back and catch up more lol. Ray still believes he is a big threat to the US east coast, or at least he hasn't changed his stance yet. How you been? Wondered where you have been.

The overall structure of the storm does not look as good as it did earlier. It almost looks to my again very novice eyes like there is some sheer or dry air impacting the east and south east portion of the system. Again just my novice observation
