I wonder how strong Barry can get... it seems to be intensifying rather quickly

I don't think Barry will quite reach Cat. 1 strength... but right now it's a pretty darn strong TS and showing no signs of weakness at the moment.

Remember these florida storms have a history of rapid intensification just prior to landfall (Wilma, Charley, cat 1 katrina come to mind). We see the opposite occur along the central gulf coast as they tend to weaken (dennis, rita, katrina, ivan).

I just caught Dr. Masters:

Latest recon has 998 mb, 77 mph winds at 1,500 feet (55-60 mph at the surface).

Definitly think the LC has something to do with the current intensification.....

some food for thought...

Tiny wind field with a small core structure is probably whats helping barry defy the odds and fight the Shear.

Not always true miamicanes177. In 1957 Hurricane Audrey struck my area here in SW Louisiana and she intensified dramatically just before landfall and claimed over 500 lives.

Downdraft wrote:Sorry to spoil everyone's day but this isn't going to be a hurricane or even close to it. Look at what's waiting for Barry in the GOMEX. This is a typical early June storm nothing more nothing less, a nice diversion for the really big stuff to come but you can't make a Ferrari from a Ford.


You might be right.But the 2005 season proved anything can happen.Barry just needs to muster 10 more mph to officially become a hurricane so I wouldn't completely rule it out

I realize the various computer models have their strengths and weaknesses, depending on conditions, data, etc. I have misplaced a link I once had to one of the "spaghetti" maps, which displayed numerous model projections. Could someone offer another?

This image shows the heavy lighting activity all around the GOM--which is the area I think that is most electrostatically 'coupled'. Notice in the last few frames how the fair weather regions darken--that's cloud microphysics being altered in these couplings IMHO. Convection then were it occurs is explosive.
