Jeanne developing an eye on IR ...

#1 Postby Stormsfury » Mon Sep 20, 2004 7:43 pm

Jeanne tonight is drifting ENE and has developed an eye on IR, and VIS satellite imagery ... convection continues to blow up on the northern and western side of the cyclone, but as of 8:40 pm is rather scarce on the Eastern semicircle right around the center ... otherwise, T numbers are much lower than the actual OBS from RECON earlier today ... however, Jeanne's T numbers are likely to come up from the 1745z T3.5/3.5 ... just based on IR imagery alone, appears that Jeanne may have gained a little more strength since the 5 pm advisory, and the NW quad continues to be the strongest portion of the storm at this time ...

Jeanne trying like mad to wrap on the southern end of the center, and also a noted flareup on the NE quad of Jeanne as well ...

latest T Numbers like I suspected have increased to T4.0/4.0 for Jeanne, in which satellite interpretation is catching up to the actual OBS/estimated max sustained winds of 85 mph ... IF this trend continues and Jeanne fully organizes on the Eastern Semicircle, Jeanne will be on its way in becoming the 6th major of the season ...

Code: Select all

  20/2345 UTC    13.6N   37.3W    T3.0/3.0        LISA  --  Atlantic Ocean
  20/2345 UTC    18.6N   46.9W    T6.5/6.5        KARL  --  Atlantic Ocean
  20/2345 UTC    27.3N   70.7W    T4.0/4.0      JEANNE  --  Atlantic Ocean


Side note: KARL is now at a 6.5!!!! ... satellite estimate of 146 MPH (127 kts) and a 935 mb pressure ... :eek: (Highest T number for Karl in its entire lifetime) ...

Well, he finally looks handsome. Too bad we don't have visual. Hopefully, he will remain as strong as he is now till the morning.

The northern outflow jet is incredible.

Lisa surely looks insignificant, compared to him.
