pretty impressive ... Tomás holding on

[HURAKAN]

Tomás is leaving land behind and entering the open Atlantic

[KWT]

If anything the actual structure is improving again right now, the eyewall is weakening mind you which is probably a hint of things to come, may well be a hurricane again right now...

[Ntxw]

At this stage reminds me a lot of Shary with his current look. Had enough swirl to be a Hurricane and was firmly connected to a trough with a very similar look, but quickly died as it raced northeast.

Shary



Tomas

[plasticup]

It's pretty neat how the core is tropical but the northern side has completely merged into the cold front.

[emeraldislencguy]

it has been an amazing storm
a lot of people were saying yesterday it would be non tropical by now
thank goodness this did not happen in september
the damage was bad enough for a oct-nov storm
just think of how bad it could have been in sept or early oct
the people of Haiti have been through so much

Gusts of wind that accompany it have lost their power, at 110 km/h. Tomas expected to weaken in the coming days.
Haiti, presents to the catastrophic earthquake of January and the fight against an epidemic of cholera, the authorities considered that the hardest was passed. Heavy rains remain however provided on certain parts of the territory, as well as Dominican Republic in the Bahamas and Puerto Rico.
"Now that, relatively speaking, Haiti has escaped the danger, we must remain vigilant", said Friday night Haitian President René Préval.
Four people were killed in the province of Grande Anse (South-West), both in the southern province and one Bell Cove (Southeast), said the Director of emergency preparedness, Alta Jean-Baptiste. The Cayes, Jacmel Leograne, coastal towns were flooding theatre.
A Port - Port-au-Prince, the capital, hundreds of thousands of refugees still live in overcrowded camps since the earthquake, spent the night under the showers under precarious shelters and canvas camps.
Thursday, President Préval intervened on national radio wave invite his compatriots take precautions and follow instructions for evacuation to escape the gusts of wind, the surf and torrential rains.

Haiti truly dodged a bullet there. I mean, it's awful that there are casualties but let's be real, this could've been far more disastrous.

[TheEuropean]

recon found central pressure of 981.8 mb

[TheEuropean]

79 kt at flight level, 64 kt at surface

This would make Tomas a hurricane again - did anyone expect this?

[Macrocane]

Wow, Tomas is full of surprises, for sure if is one of the most "disobedient" systems of the season.

[brunota2003]

981? Surely would think that is an error by the sensor, but perhaps a dropsonde would say otherwise...that would be a pressure drop of over 10 millibars in what? Less than 6 to 12 hours?

[HurricaneBelle]

It's official - call him Hurricane Tomas again:
