The outflow fanning out to the W is really expansive. Eye should pop out sometime soon.

What also often happens is "stair-stepping": Pressure drops first, then wind catches up, then pressure drops again, etc.

Haven’t had much chance to watch this thing since about 1pm. Wow what a dramatic change in strength and appearance. The leveling off in pressure is clearly temporary. I don’t think I’m gonna get much sleep tonight watching this evolve lol.

I've never seen these "jagged" features that are on the SW side of the CDO and inner bands. It's not "ragged" like a struggling system would be, but more like aggressive spikes of energy radiating outwards.

Winter 2020-2021 :cold:

All observations are in Tecumseh, OK unless otherwise noted.

Take any of my forecasts with a grain of salt, refer to the NWS, SPC, and NHC for official information

If it goes more south and west, could the next front miss lifting it out to sea?

If that was at 700, this would be a major. But even still I agree 95 kt is the best estimate for the intensity.

I saw it with 106 kt at the surface. I wonder if it is accurate? Or a bit overdone?
