ATL: ETA - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[BYG Jacob]

Why is there talk like we know the eye temp when satellites have renowned issues with small eyes like Eta?

2020NOV02 232017 6.0 946.1 115.0 6.0 6.3 7.4 1.3T/6hr OFF OFF OFF OFF -26.51 -78.22 EYE 7 IR 20.0 14.37 82.40 ARCHER GOES16 18.8

Raw T# is now 7.4.

Dear goodness!

It cant get to 7.8 right like the WPAC beast?! thats just too much for this part of the Atlantic!

This thing is bombing out. I am strongly leaning toward cat 5 by the time recon gets there. Folks need to understand this was only a tropical storm yesterday. Just an absurd rate of intensification.

I don't normally follow the progress while far from the storm, but it makes sense here. Also trying to post how many miles (rounded to the nearest 5 miles) it is.

Well you don't get a super typhoon in the Atlantic very often. It's hard not to watch.

Super Typhoon?

The structure is much closer to a west pacific typhoon than a standard Atlantic hurricane.

NHC believes Eta still has 12+ hours over water, although it does look pretty close to land right now. In any case, recon is getting there before if all goes as planned (which isn't a given for this storm...)

[Sanibel]

I go with 145mph 940...

Goni was full 8.0

[Highteeld]

Getting Wilma vibes. I think 160-170 knots is possible at some point.

It (probably) won't hit Wilmas pressure falls, but it might manage to beat or tie Wilmas record for fastest TS to Cat 5.

Super Typhoon?

By definition a WPAC storm of minimum 130kt/150 MPH (High-end Cat. 4+) winds. In practice especially among "enthusiasts," refers mainly to the ultra high-end storms like Goni, Hagibis, Haiyan, Meranti etc.

Looking at CIMSS data it suggests MPI of just below 900 mb

If I remember correctly Patricia had busted the MPI at her location on the map(which is not high-res anyway).

Just switch the spots of each 4 most likely...

So we just had Haiyan 2.0 a couple days ago and now we *might* be looking at potential Wilma 2.0... within 2 days of each other. 2020 you can calm down now!

I see, but that did not make sense at first.

Satellites can now resolve pin hole eyes significantly better.

No wonder why 2020 is cursed. . .

Does anyone live in those tiny islands northeast of Nicaragua? Those islands are about to get in Eta's intense eyewall.

2020 satellites are simply worlds better.

Idk about the others, but when I referenced eye temp I was talking about what it literally depicts, not the true core temp. While it can’t display the true eye temp, it is still useful in determining whether the storm is still strengthening.

These islands are uninhabited, I think
