Re: ATL: ETA - Hurricane - Discussion
Man what do you do if you're the NHC? This has to be knocking on the door of Cat 5 if it isn't there already. Really feel they need to be aggressive with their estimates on this particular storm.

Whenever they finish that maintenance issue.
They don't have a whole lot of time to get that fixed...

Re: ATL: ETA - Hurricane - Discussion
If there's no recon NHC will wait til the immediate advisory to update the intensity, so be patient.
For recon, it's delayed due to technical issues but hurricane hunters said on Twitter that they're on deck soon. Just wait til the data start transmitting.

Yeah, especially since it's about to make landfall... They can't be bearish anymore like they have been with this storm so far

There's little to none in that region. Not even too many METar data neither.

Re: ATL: ETA - Hurricane - Discussion
As if Eta wasn't bad enough of a storm already, these recon issues are keeping me even further on the edge of my seat. It's like I'm watching a Safdie Brothers movie.

5, no doubt at this point. Eta is intensifying far too fast to be anything weaker than 930 mbar at peak intensity. This is achieving what Delta could not.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

Re: ATL: ETA - Hurricane - Discussion
What are the chances this undergoes EWRC before landfall. Or is there 0 chance and indication that happens anytime soon?
The imagery earlier tells me no, but are pinholes more susceptible?

NHC goes with 105kt. Likely conservative.
