Isaias is likely not a hurricane right now, the recon data indicates a generous maximum intensity right now of 60 knots. That being said, I'd bet my bottom bitcoin that NHC will not lower intensity below 65 kt at 11. Isaias has seen rapid changes in intensity due to it's small core size. The customers here are the taxpayers of the general public, and since this could restrengthen to a hurricane over the gulf stream, they will likely leave it as such. Public safety and awareness comes first, meteorological preciseness can wait until the TCR.

You can see the NW motion there. I’m interested in what it does when it’s fully over the water again.

GCANE - can you explain in layman’s terms for us amateurs, please?


CAPE is a measure of unstable air.
5000+ is extreme.
That will fill in over FL later today.
Skies are clear this morning which rapidly heats the land.
The rising heat mixed with the very unstable air will set off large thunderstorms later today.
The moist remains of the thunderstorms will flow into Isaias adding fuel and likely give it a nudge west.


It sounds like you’re saying there’s a chance of rain later?

Well, crappola. Sometimes it's better to remain ignorant! Now I'm more worried

Barfing out a huge outflow boundary on its Western half. Isaias is struggling right now

The nudge west come from the erosion of the leading edge of the trof due to thunderstorms.
Models never factor in mesoscale effects like this.

Problem is there is nothing but dry air to pull from to its west. Mid level WV shows this to the be the case and it is not just a small amount either. We shall see though. Anything is possible, for sure. 8-)


just wait a few hours, the afternoon thunderstorms will be coming soon...

it is really hot here in Central Florida today

If you are within the cone, you can be hit. The hurricane forecast is not a line.

Looks like the center is trying to become exposed out of the decaying cirrus above it.

It’s getting stretched west to east with the shear and on a weakening trend, that is also why the LLC is now moving more WNW out from under the MLC and upper level cyclone. The storm is not stacked and dry air is going to impede it more. Not telling anyone to lower their guard along the Coasts but you can clearly see what is taking shape on visible and WV imagery. This is good news and hopefully it weakens to nothing more than weak TS unable to inflict much erosion and damage along the coasts.
This is my opinion only and please go by your local officials and official weather forecasts.

Lol even when you're out of the cone you can be hit. It's just about probabilities. Notice also how I didn't say "perfectly accurate".

The weakeaning trend is actually worse for FL. Weakening in the short term means more west and could still come back in intensity over gulf stream.

This thing looks dreadfully sick on IR this morning. The deepest convection near the center is confined between Andros and Eleuthera. Cloud tops have been warming, with storms collapsing and pushing outflow to the west. That could, incidentally, actually help to moisten the environment heading toward Florida. I don’t think it’ll be down for too long.
