EPAC: MARIE - Post-Tropical

[Yellow Evan]

6th if you count Ioke.

Given the size, I wouldn't be surprised if the pressure is actually below 910.

This is a beautiful storm...

With an eye temperature of +17C, 140kt is understandable despite a lack of -80C convection.

A big gallery of images keeps growing at First Post of thread to have a good archieve of this beauty named Marie. Keep them coming.

Very deserving, lived up to the hype! Congrats EPAC on your cat 5, beautiful hurricane.

We hyped it up real good haha. But it just looked like it was going to be a cat.5 from the beginning. As soon as it emerged into the Pacific it had the look.

Credit to the NHC for realizing this as well and consistently being on top of the intensity guidance.

IF the gray around the eye can wrap around completely, it would give Rick a run for its money.

That's a big if. Convection was much deeper last night.

[Kingarabian]

I agree. But the eye is very warm.

[Yellow Evan]

:uarrow: I agree. But the eye is very warm.

If the eye reaches 20C, it could have one of the warmest eyes the EPAC has ever seen.

To remind members that may not know from what wave the genesis began,it was from ex 94L.

Gotta love her long mermaid tail to the southwest and west.

In this one I edited out the whites line so we can see how intense the eyewall really is.
