EPAC: PATRICIA - Post-Tropical

[EquusStorm]

That rapidly developing eye structure looks extremely menacing. The rate of intensification is amazing.

Patricia is well on its way to become one of the most impressive tropical cyclones you will see imo before she landfalls. This one potentially could be one for the ages from the Eastern Pacific.

My prayers to all in Mexico and then my concerns and thoughts to the people in Texas, as all of that deep tropical moisture from Patricia's remnants heads northeast and will trench Texas.

Good morning, Luis...can we calculate the closest approach to Isla Navidad with the current forecast advisory? Notice that we have a member, zeehag, that may be under the gun there.. Greetings from Key West, Rich

Here is the latest forecast graphic.Hopefully he is safe and has prepared.

this may be the thing that redevelops in the Gulf to be honest

[cycloneye]

Plane is on route.Sufficient to say this mission will be a very interesting one.

[davidiowx]

Could still be a minimal TS all the way across Texas

Oh I hope not.....sigh...

This is not a 85kt storm, more like 115kt already. Patricia may become one of these epic pacific storm during super El Ninos
Dvorak has been underestimating this thing since its formation and NHC needs to wake up...

PS: 12Z GFS deepens Patricia to near 915mb before landfall

[Alyono]

MU has what looks to be a TS over South Texas Sunday morning

I definitely see this possibility. When Recon gets in Patricia, I think they will find her already at major hurricane status and still intensifying. Patricia WILL be one for the history books unfortunately when its all said and done.

Core is well formed, but you probably didn't need microwave to know that.



*EDIT for correct microwave image.

Inland near Surfside Monday afternoon.

Weak, I am assuming..?

We all know what happens when a hurricane with well-developed inner core running over 31C SSTs and heat content among the highest across the globe

Plane is reaching the Pacific coast so it wont be long that they decend and we will see how strong this beast is.

You don't think that the mountains will be able to shred it apart?

it probably will be shredded and I still favor a separate nontrop in the GOM. Just throwing it as a possibility given how strong it will be at landfall

[cycloneye]

Plane is decending to operational altitude.
