ATL: MATTHEW - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[CrazyC83]

Wouldn't shock me to see it become a strong category four in under 12 hrs. Surface winds will take time to respond to decreasing pressures.

I do agree that rapid intensification - perhaps even to cat 5 - is not out of the question, but it is impossible to forecast. It all depends on how the inner core is.

[drezee]

3mb drop in 1.6 hours....well technically

[terrapintransit]

[utweather]

I dare say this is continuing to weaken at the moment--Matthew is clearly having some inner core troubles at the moment, and there seems to be a second wind maximum which could indicate this is continuing its never-quite-completed ERC.

Yeah I have been watching the the last 12hrs, also someone mentioned some weak northerly shear earlier...

My wild guess is 130mph and no landfall based on the NHC showing a harder curve each time and I wonder if it slows down that turn will happen before it gets to land.

I guess we will know more in the morning..

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- We are working closely with local, state and University officials as well as the Southeastern Conference office to monitor the progress of Hurricane Matthew and its potential impact on campus and the safety of the fans.

As of 5 p.m. on Wednesday, the game is still scheduled to be played on Saturday at 11 a.m. CT at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. A final decision on the start time of the game will be made by 12 p.m. CT on Thursday as we continue to monitor the storm.

The game will not be moved out of Gainesville.

This is probably one of the most reckless and irresponsible decisions that I have ever seen from a public official. This decision will divert possibly a thousand first responders away from where they will desperately be needed. University of Florida President W. Kent Fuchs should be immediately fired for incompetence and reckless endangerment. Thoughts?

Absolutely disgusting. Even if there are ZERO effects there a MAJOR portion of the State will be devastated and in full disaster response. You can tell right from the statment they are thinking of this in a bubble and not in the scale if reality. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

I'll go with Jensen Beach. 135mph, 949mb.

Matthew looks really good all of a sudden. Kinda resembles Lili.

[Redneckrivierawx]

After getting ragged from passing Cuba, it's really starting to look symmetric.

[HurricaneBelle]

What concerns me is there has never been a Category 3 or higher storm make landfall north of West Palm Beach. Climatology and 150+ years of history says if this is going to landfall as a major it will be somewhere in Dade, Broward, or Palm Beach counties.

Jeanne says hi

So does Dora. It'd be nice if people checked their "facts" before posting.

[floridasun78]

[AutoPenalti]

Some people saying it's weakening. Other say it's intensifying.

[ROCK]

Reminds me of Rita at her peak..

[ronyan]

Rock Sound is up to 95 mph sustained.

This sounds like something that could result in major traffic impediments to relief/cleanup efforts.

[jlauderdal]

I hope the NHC finally extends the hurricane warning to Dade, seeing as so many of you are throwing a Miami landfall out of your hats.

too late now to have any effect even if they do

[hurricaneCW]

Some people saying it's weakening. Other say it's intensifying.

Idk what fantasy those who says it weakening live in because that's clearly not the case. Watch IR loops and you can easily see it's gradually intensifying.

[Blinhart]

I say look at the number of posts of some of those that are weakening, or as you should know now some people are always optimistic unlike me (I'm always pessimistic), you should know who they are.
