ATL: ARTHUR - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[weathernerdguy]

Those high SFMR readings are questionable in these shallow waters... What I am impressed with is the extrapolated 976 mb reading in 40+ knots of wind... Perhaps still deepening?

What is extrapolated, I don't mean to sound stupid, but, I really have a taste in learning.

[weathernerdguy]

Unflagged 89 knot surface wind by recon.

042200 3439N 07630W 6966 03015 9939 +066 -062 281074 076 089 015 00

What's 89 knots again?

Approx right above 100 mph

Thank you.

Was dead center in the eye about 15 min ago. Pressure bottomed out at 976mb.

Was it perfectly calm or was there a breeze still?

Dead calm, i was gonna post a radar screenshot showing my location but it's a pain in the butt on this phone.

pretty cool man! I've experienced many hurricanes, but never the dead calm of a well formed eye! A definite bucket list addition!

Ocracoke now getting hit with the eyewall.

Frances and Wilma was dead calm during the eye... Wilma sun was out, birds chirping, etc... Jeanne was the strongest, but very windy/unstable in the eye... Not sure why?? It's a very unique experience, it's always seems to be at night... What's Arthur's eye like?

[Chris_in_Tampa]

Keep in mind, going over the barrier islands occasionally, and shallow water, the SFMR is going to give invalid readings occasionally, even though they are not noted as suspect.

1 AM update likely to stay the same

Satellite presentation if anything it has improved since it made landfall.

[Hammy]

Are they going to investigate the SE quad? It's still looking pretty intense and there isn't any land to interfere with it.

[znel52]

Ok hopefully this works. Middle of the blue crosshairs was my location when I got the 976mb reading.

That's the quadrant they have pass twice already since the northern quadrant was briefly over land (now over the sound).

Yep. Looking far healthier on IR than just a couple of hours ago.

As someone who has been in the eye a couple times, it is dead calm. It really is an eerie calm. You just went through hours of horrendous noise, and then nothing. the rain stops, the wind stops, and you can look up and see the stars or the clear blue sky. Then 20 minutes later, the noise and rain come back.

Skated by this one, big nothing for me here in New Bern. A bit gusty right now but virtually no rain, low wind all night. Even maintained a perfect dish signal all night too, remarkable!

Prayers to all in Arthur's path, good night y'all.

Those in-house models I've seen this week on the local stations nailed Arthur's inland track perfectly.

[brunota2003]

For those interested:

Mark Sudduth will be deploying a drifting surge cam here in the next couple minutes, and I think they're going to show the deployment on TWC.

Thank you Brunota! Figured i was hosing something up lol.
