Good job, Matt... you were the closest!

I was wondering if we could see her winds bomb suddenly even though the pressure drops at the current rate like Katrina. She was 115 mph and a very low 936 mb, and then she went straight to 145 mph and the pressure dropped only to 935.

Incredible. This is going to be a 950's Cat 1.

the pressure dropped to 963 .... the winds will be going up soon !!!! just wait and see..... it won't be a cat one by morning.... cat 3

this is not an official forcast!!!!!!!!

Alright, let's get ready for the next eyewall pass, through the SW quad.

A Cat 4 by morning is likely. 930's in the morning IMO, unless an EWRC takes place.

963mb and 8nm closed eye, wow.

Category Three Hurricane:

* Winds 111-130 mph (96-113 knots).
* Storm surge generally 9-12 ft above normal.
* Air pressure: 945-964 mb.
* Some structural damage to small residences and utility buildings with a minor amount of curtainwall failures. Damage to shrubbery and trees with foliage blown off trees and large tress blown down. Mobile homes and poorly constructed signs are destroyed. Low-lying escape routes are cut off by rising water 3-5 hours before arrival of the hurricane center. Flooding near the coast destroys smaller structures with larger structures damaged by battering of floating debris. Terrain continuously lower than 5 ft above mean sea level may be flooded inland 8 miles (13 km) or more. Evacuation of low-lying residences with several blocks of the shoreline may be required.
* Hurricanes Roxanne of 1995, Fran of 1996, and Bonnie of 1998 were Category Three hurricanes at landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico and in North Carolina, respectively.

Look at the dropsonde here, in the first eyewall pass. That should support at least a 5kt upgrade, if not 10.

Cat 4 by morning is very unlikely. Pressure gradient is too loose for that.

Not really... 108mph at 960mb would equal around 80 mph.

Latest dropsonde shows it stationary?

Movement reflected in the 7pm advisory?

Slight westward drift.

Ah yes but you said the same about the chances of Vince becoming a hurricane Mike. :wink:

Getting late here so I'll have to have a look in the morning to see how it develops overnight.

Enough of a trend or will they keep the WNW heading on the next advisory?
