Re: Irma, a site on Anguilla reported a 10-min sustained wind of 165 kt (which would translate to a 1-min wind of about 183 kt). That was likely not reliable though.


I saw that multi-page report from Anguilla a few days ago but can't find the link. Anyone here have the link?

I thought that was an official ASOS site that measured that gust? That would be in line with expected for a cat 3 landfall though.

It's possible that at the moment all resources are dedicated to writing Maria's report.

Even the remaining EPAC reports have not been released since Hilary on Febuary 12th,I asume for that same reason.

Most likely they are hard at work on the Maria report, I agree.

Franklin is up

I wouldn't count on an all hands on deck for Maria. It likely has less to detail than did Irma to be honest

Excerpt from Franklin's report.

Franklin again steadily strengthened, reaching hurricane status near 1800 UTC that
day and reaching a peak intensity of 75 kt at 0000 UTC 10 August

The meteorologist tweeted that the 123-knot value adjusts to a standard (three-second) gust, not sustained wind, of ~91 knots at the standard 10-m elevation. This would imply peak sustained, 10-m winds of about 65 to 70 knots at the Naples Municipal Airport, which was inland and slightly to the west of the centre of the eye. Taking the location into account, the data would suggest a landfall intensity of ~90 to 95 knots. Perhaps that would account, in part, for the relatively minimal structural damage in Naples, besides strict construction codes. I wonder if the storm chaser's 97-knot value on Marco Island was also measured above the standard 10-m elevation. There wasn't much evidence of sustained Cat-4 winds on Big Pine Key, as a station in the eastern eyewall measured a top gust of only 104 knots, and reconnaissance closest to the landfall time, both SFMR and flight-level winds, averaged out to ~110 knots, even though the mission went through the northeastern quadrant. The 119-knot SFMR a few hours earlier, just before landfall, could have also been subject to shoaling. The swath of damage-derived gusts up to 139 knots on Big Pine Key, according to the NWS in Key West, was due to a mesovortex. Based on all evidence, Irma was probably 110 knots in the Keys and a high-end Category 2, ~90 to 95 knots, at its second landfall, on Marco Island.

how many hurricane chasers set up large towers that go above 10m elevation? Unless that reading was on a bridge, it may have been below 10m elevation

AFAIK, the only bridges to Marco Island are low-level causeways. Hence it should be either at or below standard elevation. If that was below 10m, then 105 kt would be a better estimate for the final landfall.

I forgot about that TD in the Pacific. Published 8 months after it formed.

Find interesting to note that in the report, the Depression formed around 36 hours earlier then the first NHC advisory. That means this storm formed before Greg did (unless Greg's report also changes it). Therefore, this Depression should technically be called Seven-E.

The report also says that 08E may have actually been a tropical storm based on AMSU and ADT, but they have a high uncertainty range at low intensities. ADT generally doesn't do well until you get to at least 50 kt anyway. Hence, I agree on leaving it a TD.

I wonder what’s taking so long for Emily and Gert. I get why Maria is and Nate/Ophelia we’re significant too

Interesting that it developed from part of the same wave that spawned Irma. Didn’t know that.

Probably lower priority at NHC, they are having to spend so much time and energy on the big ones like Harvey, Irma and Maria that they just keep pushing it off.
