2020 TCRs

[NotoSans]

Lorenzo is a different case as the peak estimate is based on satellite data rather than recon. I do expect NHC to downgrade Matthew though.

[AtlanticWind]

Our Cat 5 streak is officially OVER! Iota will always be one to me, but the lack of recon and data overall has damaged the full extent of Eta's true winds however high they were, we will never know

If Iota wasn’t a Cat 5, then neither was Matthew, so therefore that record-breaking Cat 5 streak from 2016-20 (now 2016-19 after Iota’s TCR) never existed, and is still tied with the 3-year streak from 2003-05.

I never understand why so many question Matthews Cat 5 strength, The SFMR reading was deemed reliable,
It had a small 5 n mi eye and the pressure while not extremely low was enough to support a cat 5.

[EquusStorm]

The NHC explicitly called out Matthew as one of the storms likely to have been overrated via SFMR in the Iota TCR, as the bias has been noted since Irma and note has been made of the likelihood that a few storms will have to be revisited for adjustment. With Matthew they took the SFMR at face value following the 2016 season, but starting in Irma the next year they began to document SFMR discrepancies in high end storms so that problem wasn't really noted until after Matthew; thus it's fair to question the storm since it's one of the main storms likely to be under investigation if they do SFMR research and analysis of recent high end hurricanes.
