Re: ATL: Hurricane DANIELLE - Discussion
ERC starting?
Looks like a weak outer eyewall may be trying to develop.

No evidence of that (eg double wind maxima) from recon flight so far. Decoded vortex message:

Remarks Section - Remarks That Were Decoded...
Maximum Flight Level Wind Outbound: 119kts (~ 136.9mph) in the northeast quadrant at 15:52:50Z
Remarks Section - Additional Remarks...
Sfc center not visible
Using typical 90% reduction, flight-level winds of 119kt means surface winds of ~107kt, which is higher than the highest SFMR wind of 96kt. Pick one or more of the following interpretations: a) Danielle peaked earlier, b) the peak satellite intensity estimate of 115kt was too high, c) recon has not yet sampled the highest winds. Again, if either microwave or recon showed a new eyewall, then ERC would be possible, but that does not seem to be the case here.

Probably a mix of b&c. She is still wobbling westward, it will be interesting where the next vdm is.

Re: ATL: Hurricane DANIELLE - Discussion
drezee IMO one will go up this afternoon.
i think she will move further west than most models forecast because
1/ look at steering
http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic/real- ... 8dlm3.html
2. she hasn't gained that much latitude (27 ish N) and there is still a bit of a ridge to her NW and W....so she should go WNW for at least another 8 hours IMO

Re: ATL: Hurricane DANIELLE - Discussion
Not much gain at all
Still elongated east-west, that does not say sharp turn to me.

i agree, no sharp recurve, unless at the last minute. she prob wont speed up till she's well into the recurve. also i think she peaked earlier. recon couldnt see surface center at 1549z, yet on vis sat before that u could almost see little vortices rotating inside the eye. also sat presentation may look cat 4, yet winds arent there. it is a bigger storm, so a 939 pressure might not relate to the usual pressure/wind relationship. still has a little while to intensify.

Re: ATL: Hurricane DANIELLE - Discussion
ADT keeps estimating colder and colder tops. In the past half hour is the coldest estimate since it developed a warm eye
