ATL: IGOR - Ex Hurricane - Discussion

[CrazyC83]

I'd go about 90-95 kt right now. But I would think the pressure is still really low, like around 947mb.

Igor is a big brute, man.

Jim Cantore is halfway to Bermuda along with lots of media people: Estimated arrival 12:30 PM CST

[CrazyC83]

Indeed it looks like the intensity is about 90 kt, despite a 946mb pressure. Such huge storms often result in pressure mismatches.

I suspect this is due to the pressure gradient being lower due to the pressure differences being spread out over a large area.

Looks exactly like Alex (pressure, wind-wise)

According to Pythagoras, Igor and Julia are 841 nm apart or 969 miles.

If you want to be more exact ,

I measure 721nm (830 mi) on GARP. Pythagorian equation won't work on a curved surface. You need to use the Haversine equation. Here's an online Great Circle calculator:

And to convert Km to statute miles:

Divide miles by 1.151 to get nautical miles.

thanks wxman57, forgot about that

so now they could encounter the fujiwara effect?

so now they could encounter the fujiwara effect?

I guess more of a effect of eating and being eaton

[HURAKAN]

so now they could encounter the fujiwara effect?

I don't think much will happen since Igor is much stronger and larger than Julia.

[cpdaman]

Igor's got one last shot at intensifying based on the extent of TCHP map...IMO.....he could still get to cat 4....in the next 12 or so hours.

Igor is starting to look a bit more organized on the visible loop, and is that an eye starting to appear again!
