ATL: KARL - Ex-Hurricane - Discussion

[weatherwindow]

a link for veracruz radar?....sorry if i missed it earlier....thx

Not only do we have our 5th major hurricane of the season which as of recent is extremely impressive, but Mexico could get hit by a category 4 rapidly strengthening hurricane that just displayed the fastest intensification over the BOC I have ever seen. Over the last two years Mexico has been ravaged by hurricanes/TC's big time.

only 1999 and 2005 had 5 category 4+ hurricanes.

Well lets see.. So far we are sitting at four category 4+ hurricanes.. We have DANIELLE, EARL, IGOR, and JULIA.. So if if IF Karl would make it to Cat 4 he would be our 5th.. He should be inland in less then 12 hours I believe though.

NHC has it forcasted prior to landfall.

As of the 5am advisory Karl is now forecast to get up to cat 4 before landfall. 120kts is the peak strength currently forecasted.

[canes101]

Yes I did see its forecasted to be a cat 4.. Just saying we will see..

[Hurricanewatcher2007]

For all we know it may already be a cat 4. We will just have to wait and see what recon finds when it makes its first pass.

I'm already satisfied with this season. Back in July, I thought this was going to be a repeat 2009 season. I'm calling for 6 more major hurricanes because each storm since Igor has formed into a major hurricane.

A few more hours till landfall

[Hurricanewatcher2007]

A few more hours till landfall

Based on last nights 11pm advisory I believe it will be sometime around 5 this afternoon that it makes landfall.

This really is one of the most phenomenal storms I have yet tracked. If this was bearing down on the U.S. the media would be having a field day.

Charley is the closest US has had to this in recent times

[Hurricanewatcher2007]

If it were to move straight west and keep it's forward motion of 9mph then it would be making landfall in about 9.8 hours:

in Karl case what is the strongest quad?

SW?

[Hurricanewatcher2007]

in Karl case what is the strongest quad?

SW?

Based on the last recon mission it's been the north-east.

Looking at your Google Earth map Veracruz may escape the worst of it

[Simone Lussardi]

in Karl case what is the strongest quad?

SW?

Storm advancing westward, with symmetrical convection, strongest winds are usually in the NE quadrant, as the flight recon found.

[bob rulz]

Even a slight dip to the southwest would bring the worst conditions to Veracruz, I would say it's still too close for comfort, at least for those on the northern end of the city.
