...hit just north of Matagorda. Pretty similar to the 18z GFDL.
Geez... and here I was two weeks ago just wishing to see a TS... now I'm hoping this all was just a dream. It's crazy how relative the effects of these things can be too. I'm sure there will be some people with minimal damage and others will lose their lives. I guess it's all just nature at work. No rhyme or reason but this is the season.

The truth is that it is 138 kt at the surface, and the NHC has held back at times on those. I'd go with 135 kt/929mb right now.
All I'm trying to say is that the winds either are sustained at 156mph or greater or they aren't. Just because the NHC decides to hold back does not mean that it didn't reach category 5 status. I'm talking about truth. Unfortunatately, as Avila said in an interview, the NHC can't always go with sweeping changes when a storm is going on. They have to be careful not to make hasty decisions that lead to panic.

Not unless it tracks N of Jamaica and thru the Yucatan Channel.

At flight level 154 knots=159.39 at the surface...That is closer to Emily was to cat5. I think she was around 158 mph surface winds.

GFDL, while still hitting Texas, is trending farther South each run today. dModel/dT is trending in our favor.

It always says 8pm on wxunderground for 0z runs. I think it is b/c technically "8pm" is "0z".artist wrote:that was the 8pm gfdl

I know that. But it got upgraded to it, so this has even a better chance. In also cat5 is 156+ mph winds. So this falls with in it.

Re: Major Hurricane DEAN: (11PM page 192) Discussions, Analysis
I really wanted to sleep tonight
A quick question from a dummy ... the pressure seems high for a Cat 5. Is it possible since some of the models have given ominous hints at a ~900mb possibility that we could see a record for maximum sustained winds especially with the forward speed of this storm? Does it work like that? Whats within the realm of theoretically possible? Should we expect an ERC to break the deepening cycle soon?
Man I hope so .... Trust me ... I don't want to see this especially on a course for Jamaica. This is just terrible.

Indeed. At 6 hours, or right about now, GFDL is predicting a motion of 16º North of due West. Eyeballing Dean (easy, at start of floater, center of eye a tad South of 15ºN, now center right on 15º, or just a hair North of due West) GFDL is already wrong.

The data on the thing that comes in with only 5 knot winds is now=927 millibars. Yes slightly high for a cat5. But it has happen.
