ATL: IDA - Remnants - Discussion

[skyline385]

I see a tiny pink hot tower popping, as if the current rate of intensification wasnt bad enough already

Won't be done strengthening anytime soon. CAT5 is a distinct probability

Cat 5 is probably the base case at this point

Eye temp cooking per recon pass

This is gonna be one of those hurricanes that we still talk about decades later, isn"t it... I expected this storm to intensify, but after it struggled and kinda 'underperformed' I was starting to let my guard down and think that it might be less bad than many feared. And then this happens, intensification like this in the Atlantic is pretty much unprecedented. Only Iota and before that the 2005 storms may have had such pressure drops.

The eye warming is as sudden as the pressure drops and wind spikes.

Can’t say enough that this is very alarming. Eye temp will probably go north of 20C.

A long time poster on here posted on our local forum the latest euro and has it scraping by Port Fourchon to the west and heading nnw thru timbalier bay. Most importantly shows crazy wind gust of 120+ coming right through Gonzales.

Mike, Noooooooo. Say it ain't so. It will project many landfall locations several times before landfall, I hope. Stay safe in Gonzales!

Its CDO is also becoming dramatically thicker and symmetrical. No wonder Recon is finding winds so extreme.

The RI really reminds of wilma

I hope we dont see 882mb

[skyline385]

With how ragged the eye looks and combined with the extreme RI, I wouldnt be surprised if there are meso-vortices embedded in it...

the eyewall is completely lit up now after having only an occasional flash for the past several hours. first time I've seen this in its lifecycle

FL winds look much more robust in the NW quadrant compared to when recon first flew in.

[Sanibel]

I think the reason the eye looks ragged is because it is corkscrew-shaped from rapid intensification...

[EquusStorm]

Waiting this late to bomb out also doesn't give it much time for an eyewall cycle, so it like so many others lately is probably going to come in at peak. Big sinking feeling of horror here.

Symmetry continues to increase with mesovortices evident in the eyewall

[Comradez]

Okay, I take back my earlier doubts about cat 5 being in play. If this thing combines this recent cold CDO and warm eye with a perfect stadium eye organization by the morning, it could definitely reach cat 5.

[Texashawk]

Boy, to be a fly on the wall in the NHC's offices when that last recon center pass came through. I'd give anything to see their reactions.

Following the school of GCANE, a whopping 80mm/hr rain rate in the NE quadrant showing explosive intensification:

This storm looks flat. Not symmetrical like Katrina
