[Iceresistance]

This is just unreal. And you're telling me this season produced this monster in November??!?

I never thought that THIS would even HAPPEN!!!

Approaching T 8.0 (only other storm in the Atlantic to ever do this is Hurricane Gilbert, pressure was recorded at 888 mb there)

Actually, not even the WPAC produces this kind of CDO very often. Eta resembles a SPAC system more than any other basin. SPAC cyclones are known to produce insanely cold cloudtops.

This. WPAC storms will have more pronounced banding features while SPAC tends to have smaller CDO's but larger area of visible ventilation/spin. Eta is more like SPAC

Reminds me a bit of Winston, though Winston's eye was bigger

I decide to flip it upside down. Looks like Pam

Remember August when we were talking quantity over quality? Those were good times.

Honestly, October/November 2020 has been a vastly different hurricane season than the one we saw in August and September.

The Caribbean really overperformed this year.

Wait, you mean to tell me early-season activity was more indicative of how favorable conditions would be, and that storms would eventually start to take advantage? Also, that just because we started off with a bunch of tropical storms didn't mean we wouldn't eventually get intense storms?

Only T6.0?? That seems low.

02/2331 UTC 14.3N 82.4W T6.0/6.0 ETA -- Atlantic

I'll make this forecast:

Tonight is going to be one of those nights where everyone on this board remembered where they were when recon flew into Hurricane Eta. I think it's going to be one of those kinds of recon results.

The eye is warming at an alarming rate.

SAB used 6 hour average for FT, which is utter gibberish in the case of ERI

I'm afraid to look at recon progress for fear they will have to turn around.

Not surprised lol

Just the words "turn around" in your post made my heart flutter

I'm going to go with 914

The Gulf of Mexico really is bigger than we thought.

Since recon is past event horizon for returning (KNOCK ON SERIOUS WOOD) I wouldn’t even care what the Final T#’s are. Well get real info very soon.....(KNOCK ON FRIGGIN WOOD)

[Highteeld]

Pink ring needs to expand a bit to get a manual T 8.0, assuming warming eye

[storminabox]

It has been nothing but quality since the beginning of October. The western Caribbean has lived up to its full potential this season. Can’t believe it’s November!

I would turn back looking at the IR atm. Send in the drones instead lol

Agreed, this may be the most anticipated recon pass since Patricia in 2015.

Agreed, I'm just waiting any second for a post to show stating that the Recon flight has suddenly turned around. Everyone on this forum is watching.
