ATL: LAURA - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[Fancy1001]

i still think it tries to bottom out near 915

I'd say 920mb/160mph

I am simply awestruck looking at this cyclone on satellite imagery this morning. It never ceases to amaze me after all these years working in this business.

Again, Godspeed to all in the path of this absolute monster!!

How's the situation looking in SW LA, Is it completely evacuated? This 11am advisory is going to be nasty

What an absolute beast of a storm...

[tarheelprogrammer]

Anyone down playing this system, you should understand that there are people on here who get their weather information from us. Be mindful of that. Also, it is quite ignorant to claim this storm could have been worse. Heck, plenty of storms could have been worse, even Katrina. This is a bombing out near cat 4 hurricane with another 12-14 hours over water. The surge and wind impacts will be extremely bad. Nah, epic level bad, historic level bad.

I pray to God that everyone with complete senses would have evacuated the heck out of that region at this point!!

Going to be one hell of a tornado outbreak

My hunch is that this bottoms out around 908-912 and gets winds of 165-175. I dearly hope it weakens prior to making landfall...

[hurricaneCW]

I'll add that Laura will only exacerbate the crisis the US already faces with the pandemic & recession.

The last thing we need right now is a major hurricane, and if I had to guess, I don't think it'll be the only one to impact us this season.

[Extratropical94]

AF pass extrapolated 952.9 mb. The instrument has a low bias, but 956 seems reasonable

[us89]

To put it in perspective: we’re about to have a CONUS landfalling major hurricane. Since 2005, this has only happened three times (Harvey, Irma, Michael).

[Chemmers]

954 mb wow 6 mb since last pass

[Ivanhater]

Stop the bickering now unless you want to take a 3 day vacation.

[Fancy1001]

Pressure down to 952/953.

[NDG]

Pressure continues to drop, at least another 3 mb by extrap.

140700 2642N 09138W 6967 02782 9542 +186 +094 162038 039 035 003 03

954 mb wow 6 mb since last pass

That's the extrap measurement, on the last pass extrap showed 957 mb, but it still is a nice drop.
