Lol I said in my earlier post that Bill wouldn’t get any adjustments, and less than 24 hours later the NHC proved me wrong

Updates:
- Sam might see downward adjustments in intensity for the past few days since it collapsed. NHC seems to be a bit generous during Sam's restrengthening phase and they are sometimes not even supported by recon. I could see a -5 kt change to some, if not most, of the advisories.
- Peter might be officially recognized as having regenerated recently. It has been firing convection at times but they seem to be on and off. Would be borderline either way.

No offense, but are you just trying too hard to argue that every landfalling storm needs to have its landfall intensity downgraded (Laura too)?

It doesn't matter how Nicholas produces Cat 1 winds at sea level for a minute. The fact that it did means that it was indeed a hurricane.
Also that 149mph sustained winds recorded past landfall for Ida support 130 knots for landfall.

I'd like to see your reasoning for all of those downgrades. It seems like you're just randomly downgrading things, even though nothing actually supports a downgrade.

It doesn't matter how Nicholas produces Cat 1 winds at sea level for a minute. The fact that it did means that it was indeed a hurricane.
Also that 149mph sustained winds recorded past landfall for Ida support 130 knots for landfall.
Not to mention, recon did find a peak 850mb flight level wind of 80 kt, which using an 80% reduction (typical for that level), supports 64 kt. That mission also found a peak SFMR wind of 63 kt. Winds were increasing on each pass before recon left, as well. Nicholas has a pretty clear cut case for a 65 kt intensity, IMO.

There has been debate over whether or not the 149mph measurement counts as surface sustained winds, because the vessel they were recorded on was near that 10m defining boundary. However, the 170+ mph gust from the same vessel suggests there were 130 kt surface winds. Winds in the NE quadrant during a center pass about 1-2 hours before landfall also supported a peak of 130-135 kt, and they were multiple instances of FL winds exceeding 137 kt in the last few hours before landfall.

Claudette was a TC off the east coast, Elsa was clearly a hurricane in the eastern Caribbean/western MDR, there was recon support for TS Fred in the Caribbean, data clearly supported 130 kt landfall for Ida (and arguably there is evidence for a 135 kt peak), Larry was evidently a MH for most of the time it was given the annular characteristics, not sure where 50 kt Mindy comes from, Nicholas has clear support for hurricane intensity as said above and Sam only has enough evidence to support 135 kt given NHC’s reluctance with C5 (it will most likely get the Jose treatment). I’m sorry but these are just really bad takes on the intensities here.

Going off of satellite/Dvorak presentation, Sam has a better argument for Cat 5 intensity than Jose did. I mentioned in the Intense TCs thread that Jose only had a complete W ring for less than an hour, while Sam had a much thicker W ring for something like 6 hours.

No offense, but are you just trying too hard to argue that every landfalling storm needs to have its landfall intensity downgraded (Laura too)?
It doesn't matter how Nicholas produces Cat 1 winds at sea level for a minute. The fact that it did means that it was indeed a hurricane.
Also that 149mph sustained winds recorded past landfall for Ida support 130 knots for landfall.
I'd say the fact that there's a 149 mph sustain wind onland after landfall proves that it is probably stronger at landfall. Probably borderline cat5.(135knt?)

Isn't 10m generally what constitutes 'surface winds' in the first place?

None of the reductions make sense and go against everything the hurricane center has done in literally every preceding year, not to mention several of these contradict actual measurements.

bro you've gotta be trolling, right? please give proper reasoning to why you think claudette/odette should be removed and why larry's time as a major should be cut short?

Re: 2021 TCR's:
My thoughts on the rest of the 2021 Atlantic TCR's
Ana - Complete
Bill - Complete
Claudette - Maybe down to 35 knots?

Bill 2015 & Beta 2020
Winter 2020-2021
All observations are in Tecumseh, OK unless otherwise noted.
Winter posts are focused mainly for Oklahoma & Texas.
Take any of my forecasts with a grain of salt, refer to the NWS, SPC, and NHC for official information
Never say Never with weather! Because ANYTHING is possible!
