Re: ATL: IAN - Hurricane - Discussion
The wind measurement may be instantaneous from this Eastern Eyewall Dropsonde, but it's leading me to suggest that the stronger winds have yet to mix down to the surface.

All observations are in Tecumseh, OK unless otherwise noted.
Winter posts are focused mainly for Oklahoma & Texas.
Take any of my forecasts with a grain of salt, refer to the NWS, SPC, and NHC for official information
Never say Never with weather! Because ANYTHING is possible!

My posts are my own personal opinion, defer to the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and other NOAA products for decision making during hurricane season.

That’s my thought as well. Pressure continues to drop. Just a matter of time until the winds catch up.

Re: ATL: IAN - Hurricane - Discussion
A Charlie track certainly seems plausible. It was a non event here in Saint Augustine while Daytona, 65 miles South had a punch to the gut. Same type of set up. Lets see if it materializes. Model runs today and tonight will be interesting!!!

Updraft from the tower is likely playing a part in that

I think he literally means the storm’s warm core, not the cloud tops

95 knots at flight level is not enough for a Cat 2 once is reduced for surface wind estimates, which equal around 90-95 mph at the surface.

Temperature of the eye also has a direct correlation to storm strength. Warmer eye = stronger TC.
