2x below 900mb?

#1 Postby SamSagnella » Thu Sep 22, 2005 12:14 pm

Not necessarily saying its likely (though I'd definitely say its one possibility), but has any storm ever gone sub-900mb, risen significantly above it (i.e. 915mb) and then back below 900mb during a separate distinct strengthening cycle? Just curious.

IMHO... we have seen her peak. I would like to see 950+ at lanfall...
that would be great news!

However the 2004 and 05 have been nothing like normal. She is getting better organized, that does not mean stronger winds and lower pressure before landfall.

It's hard to read on the screen, but the aircraft fix data show that STY Rita in October 1978 dropped into the 880 mb range as it was passing south of Guam and then rose above 900mb during an ERC and then bombed again to 878 mb as it approached the Philippines.
