Yeah the western Caribbean has lived up to its potential this season.

Re: ATL: ETA - Hurricane - Discussion
Eta will reach maximum outflow in the next few hours as the NW Atlantic trough fully ventilates the system. This should aid the eye clearing process.

Re: ATL: ETA - Hurricane - Discussion
Praying for the Recon flight that no issues come up and for their safety as well. I can sense a lot of people, including myself, have been on edge regarding these recon flights.

Wow, TWC have no regard for Eta. Disgrace.

Final T# catching up raw T# quickly, we'll see something above 6.0 soon and NHC can use as a reference assigning a higher intensity to Eta.

Definitely the most anticipated NATL recon mission since Wilma.

Re: ATL: ETA - Hurricane - Discussion
We may never know how fast it strengthened but the waiting may pay off as it looks like this is going to try to peak right around the time recon gets there. That eye is clearing out

Looks like it stalled? Seems to be wobbling now.

Re: ATL: ETA - Hurricane - Discussion
I think the dramatically improving Dvorak/IR appearance of Eta is enough for an upgrade to 120-130 kt at the intermediate advisory despite no direct observations (yet). The CDO has deepened to CDG and rapidly smoothed out, and the tiny eye continues to clear. If the eye fully clears, I could see a 155 kt system out of this.

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.

This is going to be the probably the most hyped recon flight in recent memory...

1 hr movement toward 201 deg at 6 kts. 3 hr movement 221 deg at 6 kts. It's just wobbling around 60 miles offshore.

Re: ATL: ETA - Hurricane - Discussion
Wow. Not often you see a full -80C CDO in the Atlantic. Haven't felt this much anticipation for a recon mission since Patricia.
