Re: ATL: Hurricane EARL - Discussion
Does it have to be over a 3 hour period since they normally have their updates every 3 hours? I know one thing, Earl is going to have to start turning more NW real soon to hit their forecast spot of 8AM. Maybe he will. We'll see.

Yeah, I think that although it has been pretty much due W the last 2 hours the NHC is confident in an overall WNW motion and that seems to be back underway recently, but will that finally continue or will we see more W wobbles in Earl's future? This stair stepping seems to be going on for longer than I remember with other storms.

The pressure and winds seem to remind me somewhat of Hurricane Gloria, which was 919mb yet only had winds supporting 115 kt...it was also a Cat 2 at landfall with a 942mb pressure...

It's time to call it, unless it springs back NW over the next few hours it's definitely left of track.

It really didn't wobble due westward over that time frame.
31/02:33:20Z 19 deg 46 min N 065 deg 47 min W
31/04:26:00Z 19 deg 51 min N 066 deg 06 min W
31/05:06:20Z 19 deg 55 min N 066 deg 12 min W
Based on radar and recon, what I think happened is that the 03Z advisory position was a tenth of a degree too far north (i.e. it was more likely near 19.8N instead of 19.9N).

Re: ATL: Hurricane EARL - Discussion
It could just be a weak "hand-off" between the Atlantic steering current Earl arrived on and the steering current about to pick it up. I think what this shows you is there's no strong ridge above Earl driving it west so therefore the eventual direction will be poleward.

If it were just a weak hand-off, then I would think that the forward speed would be markedly slower.Sanibel wrote:It could just be a weak "hand-off" between the Atlantic steering current Earl arrived on and the steering current about to pick it up.

I think so. There was no reports of a double wind maxima from recon however it was starting to show up in recon data that there might have been one forming. They would go through the eye wall and as normal the wind would pick up then outside the wall the wind would die down to lower 90kt range and then there was a small ring around the eye where the winds would spike back up over 100kts. So based on that I would say a double wind maxima is in the forming stages and the next recon flight should report it.
