[Ntxw]

This should be a major...dvorak image is convincing to me

[Yellow Evan]

ADT is classifying this with a pinhole eye.

[supercane4867]

ADT is classifying this with a pinhole eye.

ADT likes to do that for every storm in the process of clearing out an eye

[Ntxw]

Which is what it is doing, trying to clear it out.

[Ntxw]

ADT is classifying this with a pinhole eye.

That eye/center sure warmed pretty quick on ADT

[HurricaneRyan]

Oh my god! this storm might actually bring in some rain to California

[galaxy401]

Well this storm is catching me off guard. Though this hurricane peaked yesterday. Can he become a major?

[xtyphooncyclonex]

Reminds me a bit, I mean a BIT of Hurricane Raymond last year, and this obviously has a different track. It reminds me of Raymond because of an unexpected RI (?) and that it had a sudden "pinhole" eye popping out, surrounded by ominously thick and cold convection, which made it a major. I dunno if Norbert will officially be a major, but I think it can.

[Yellow Evan]

It's at the temporary weakening stage now that the pinhole eye is gone according to ADt. Thyey should rise again early tomorrow.

Raymond 13 wasn't that unexpected RI wise. Norbert 14 was. You are probably thinking this because both are small.

[TropicalAnalystwx13]

Looks 105-110kt to me. May attain Category 4 intensity if the eye continues to warm.

[supercane4867]

At this point I believe Cat.4 is a real possibility

[Yellow Evan]

I'd go with 110 knts now.

This thing seems likely to register 6.0 on the Dvorak. Could be higher, but constraints will limit it to .5 per 6 hours from here. We are highly unlikely to get a 7.0 due to that reason alone.

[Kingarabian]

Going full out. Has to be at least a major hurricane.

[CrazyC83]

Agreed, looks like about 110 kt, and I would expect a Special Advisory by 05-06Z at this rate.

[Yellow Evan]

Ill be shocked if this is not 100 knts at 6z.

[CrazyC83]

Given the much higher initial intensity, they would likely have to put out a Special Advisory to revise the forecast if they believe the ADT is accurate.

[Yellow Evan]

Agreed, looks like about 110 kt, and I would expect a Special Advisory by 05-06Z at this rate.

Unless they want to suddenly revise the warnings (they IMO should), there's no need, but SMN does not like messing with the warnings late at night.

[Kingarabian]

Agreed, looks like about 110 kt, and I would expect a Special Advisory by 05-06Z at this rate.

Agreed. Last time I called for a special Advisory, it didn't pan out. Maybe this time it will be warranted for due to its proximity to land.
