ATL: INGRID - Remnants - Discussion

[CrazyC83]

It kinda reminds me of Hurricane Ida in 2009, looked like nothing yet was a solid Cat 2...

Texas loves OZ in Brooklyn.

It's mutual, Annie. I've been there many times. My favorite was playing pool in a bar in Houston and I met a ton of great people. I drove across the whole state once from El Paso to Longview - I think it took 3 days, lol

Yep, our state is pretty big..LOL

[Hammy]

looks like the plane got closer to the center this time, and pressure appears to be up to 987.

it's a cat 1... not a 5. It isn't going to look textbook

Are you saying that a Cat 1 isn't going to look textbook, and that a Cat 5 would? Please explain-meaning, please explain the way a Cat 1 versus a Cat 5 would look.Thanks.

Well I'm sure Alyono will answer, but I totally agree with him. Cat 1 storms are frequently still getting their act together - remember that a TC has a potential history from TD all the way to cat 5. So a cat 1 or cat 2 has the potential to get to cat 5 but a cat 3 or 4 has much less potential - they've got to look pretty good already to have gotten that far. A cat 1 or cat 2 can have strong winds over 74 mph without having great structure. But a cat 3 and up must have pretty good structure and symmetry (nice looking storm, not ragged) in order to have gotten that strong. There are mid-latitude lows (noreasters, etc.) that have winds of 75 -90 mph but never look that "good." Storms of that strength don't have to. A cat 5 has got to have perfect structure and symmetry to get there.

Was born in Brooklyn, then orphaned and ended up in Texas. Hence an affinity towards you lol.

Texas Our Texas rules...............

That's why you're so cool, lol. Ok, back to topic.

[CrazyC83]

Looking at all the wind fields and drops, pressure probably around 983 to 985 right now. It seems to be holding steady now.

[TropicalAnalystwx13]

Winds in the northwestern quadrant are stronger than they were last pass.

So Ingrid continues to become stronger but it looks less than decent on satellite imagery.

[CrazyC83]

Is this plane even going to look into the NE quad, where the strongest winds were in the NOAA3 mission? In that mission, they were about 20 kt stronger there than anywhere else...

[Annie Oakley]

Just so ya'll know what he's talking about.......there's a mission in the air right now......

I hope so. They really need to. But the "four" pattern could miss it.

Forward speed may have slowed a little again. If true that could be because it's started the turn northwestward.

I never met an Ingrid girl that was too pretty....but I am sure there are some out there i am just saying I never met one....

as far as this Igrid she has some stacking issues right now....

[jinftl]

cool graphic - is what looks to be the eye/center pulsing in and out a bit or did it wobble west?

That is scary as,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,the scariest!

[CrazyC83]

Intensity - the NOAA plane got the best data, and it appears to be unchanged since then. How high to go? That 82 kt dropsonde might be unrepresentative?

got a good 20-30knt shear from west then in the midlevel you have some shear there also....
