Official wind gust forecast from NWS San Juan. Up to 184mph in higher elevations and 164mph at San Juan.

That's just unimaginable.

Anyone have wind measurements on st Croix? They are going to hit the outer eyewall in 1 hour.

The mountains on Dominica ran N/S but Puerto Rico is E/W. It would be a different effect... More similar to how Ivan approached Jamaica

Official recording station is still up at the moment.

Is that why some slower-moving hurricanes seem to bounce along the coast as they approach?

Outer eye was 42 miles across about an hour ago. Now I’m measuring roughly 35 miles. If it keeps up at this pace the EWRC may be done in a few hours...

In WPAC, when a strong TC encounters a mountain (Taiwan, N. LUZON) - they tend to suddenly move SW or W (for NW moving TC).
I expecting the same for Maria - to bent more to the W once it encounters the mountains of PR.

What is causing that big dry slot in the red IR of the CDO?


It looks like it veered right towards St Croix...

the ERC

[AutoPenalti]

Probably going to guess ~919 when they get in the center.

[Aric Dunn]

its coming quickly to that defining moment where we ask ourselves will the outer eye just merge with the inner eyewall like harvey and irma or does it do a classic ERC ?

since the outer eyewall is approaching the inner pretty quick..

Ivan danced right around Jamaica in 2004.

It looks like they may merge like we saw with Harvey and Irma...

Cloud tops have rapidly warmed already. Seems like a classic ERC to me.
