Looks like 952mb is the pressure for the first pass post landfall.

Is the center already starting to clear on the visible satellite?

What makes you think they would shift east?

I don't see Matthew going over the high peaks in Cuba. I think Matthew will rebound very quickly.

Completely agree... I think we have seen the most west the models will go. Also thinking Matthew will be less "scary" for northern Florida through the Carolina's as far as strength goes. But still a major situation not to be taken lightly.

Latest recon pass suggests it has weakened into a category 3 with maximum winds of around 105 knots.

Re: ATL: MATTHEW - Hurricane - Discussion
There has been very little to indicate "major" east shifts. I'm not saying they can't happen (I hope they do) but "gut feelings" are not scientific enough to suggest "major" shifts. This is crunch time, lets stick to the facts.

On the contrary, the ridging in the 6z GFS was about the same, only the speed was different and the latest HWRF and GFDL reinforced the ridge. The HWRF and GFDL models were the Easterly outliers in the last package and are now in the Western side of the forecast envelope.

Disclaimer: 50% of the time I have no clue of what I am talking about. Chances are I am taking a less than educated guess that sounds good because 10 years ago I stole Mike Watkins book 'The Hurricane and its Impact'. For official information please direct yourself to the NHC and their cadre of weather geniuses.

Re: ATL: MATTHEW - Hurricane - Discussion
Probably because some of the models like the NAM are east now and also because of the formation of Nicole and her possible influence on the weakening of the ridge a bit. Gotta wait for the next model runs.

The NAM for one, I think today the much awaited east trend arrives and emergency managers along the East Coast breathe a sigh of relief.

The NAM is not a tropical model. In fact it's one of the worst models for the tropics. Don't use it for tracking storms, just for looking at the upper air environment.

The NAM is not used for tropical cyclone tracks. It had this thing headed to Central America a few days ago.
