Re: ATL: ETA - Hurricane - Discussion
My best estimate right now is 125 to 130kt. Looks like consistent T6.5 on EIR.

There is no way this is 130 mph. Probably at least 150 mph as we speak.

Do not take anything I say seriously as a form of meteorological prediction. I am not a meteorologist; I don't think being in law school translates to any special knowledge. I am just a somewhat bullish amateur watcher.

Re: ATL: ETA - Hurricane - Discussion
I really hope they don't wait to send another plane out until the scheduled evening mission. There's a Cat 4+ hurricane that is RIing with literally zero recon in it... Unfortunate

Oh for Pete’s sake, the recon plane is heading back. What is it with recon today?

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.

What is it with recon this season? Yes I know there is a insane amount of storms, but this season has been the worst since I've started tracking storms when it comes to recon issues. It's like almost every storm has had at least one

Re: ATL: ETA - Hurricane - Discussion
The NHC needs to send out another recon plane ASAP. It’s been hours since we’ve had direct data, and they need to know its exact intensity for warnings.
Why is that that, with this storm specifically, every plane has been having problems? If this keeps up there won’t be any plane left.

NHC calls for Eta to degenerate into a remnant low and then regenerate into a tropical depression

I'm really starting to think that 2020 is cursed with recon.

Where are the NOAA planes? This whole recon schedule for this storm has seemed odd. On top of all the issues with the planes

May account for the deterioration of the eye as seen on IR.
Could also account for the curve of the track to the south.

What pressure level is that? Could be due to downslope/shear PV generation; there's a gap wind in that location

Re: ATL: ETA - Hurricane - Discussion
I'm sure the NHC is doing everything they can at the moment, but we need recon in there asap. Not just for us hurricane watchers, but more importantly for the area that is about to be impacted. They need to know what they're up against and I'm afraid it could be a lot worse than what the NHC can currently estimate with the data they have. Just get any good recon plane available and send it in there.
