Re: ATL: IOTA - Hurricane - Discussion
Wow... Idk why, but last night I thought there was a chance Iota would cap at a 3 or around there. Instead we have another high end Cat 4 (maybe a 5?) strengthening into landfall. There has never been a late season like this before.

I would think if you are on that island currently a plane flying above is the least of the things you are worried about.

The CDO is not quite smooth yet, suggesting that the system has not peaked.

Seems like it. Kinda odd we can fly over Cuba but not a tiny island of Nicaragua.

Recon is not going to fly over land during an intense storm for a variety of reasons IMO, we've heard numerous times about turbulence and other dangers.

How much more can this system possibly go? This is already insane, but the fact that Iota is seemingly not done is terrifying.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

Re: ATL: IOTA - Hurricane - Discussion
I guess the upside is the wind field seems pretty compact so there’s that....

I think those islands are part of Columbia...Columbia was who issued their warnings.

Re: ATL: IOTA - Hurricane - Discussion
Yes I was wondering the same, perhaps didn't want SFMR misreading because of the very shallow waters around the Isla de Providencia.
