Is lightning still continuing inside the storm?

Is lightning still continuing inside the storm?

Slowing down a bit but still there

[Ntxw]

I'm going to go with 120 kts and 947 mb. Winds still need to play catch up.

I'll guess 125kts 940 mb. Reminds me a lot of Jose '17 at the current vicinity.

Just updated, and it's at +21.9°C

Wind field starting to expand a bit.

[TorSkk]

Could we see the same intensity jump as Jova? Cat 2->4->5 in three advisories?

[Kazmit]

Getting that circular buzzsaw look. Looks kinda like Katrina. I wouldn't be surprised if this goes annular as it matures.

[Hypercane_Kyle]

An absolute beast

Could we see the same intensity jump as Jova? Cat 2->4->5 in three advisories?

Certainly possible. It depends on what recon finds in a few hours.

The flights tonight and tomorrow morning may be legendary.

Gonzo is flying…N49RF is enroute from Lakeland southeast down thru the Bahamas at 41,000 feet. GIV bizjet that does high altitude winds.

Watching this unfold is just unreal. The power of nature is awe inspiring.
I am so thankful the northeast Caribbean has been spared from a direct hit. It would have been catastrophic. And I hope Lee stays far away from any land.

I think you just spoke very well for whole lot of people, Barbara...

I'm getting Dorian vibes looking at it.

I sense Recon finding a cat 5 - and a pressure of like 910...

[Landy]

Incredible.

[SunnyThoughts]

Still going with 130knt 928 mb But I think it may be stronger than that. Guess we will know soon enough.

[CrazyC83]

If this is another warm-eye overperformance, the Dvorak estimates might need to look at greater eye adjustments. After all, comparing Dorian to Eta (very warm eye with mostly W vs. sub-freezing eye with CDG), you'd think looking at it on conventional satellite, Eta was much stronger when in reality Dorian was the stronger storm.

Only time will tell.

[AxaltaRacing24]

125kts and 935mb is my guess

[ScottNAtlanta]

I'm going with recon finding 125kt and 922mb. Recon should be starting their descent here shortly...just passed 55w

[ElectricStorm]

Winds are probably lagging behind a bit, so I'm guessing recon finds 125-130kts, pressure around 930mb

[ScottNAtlanta]

I call hurricanes that look like this on satellite Whistlers due to the sound the winds make at landfall...like a high pitched loud whistle.
