ATL: DANNY - Remnants - Discussion

[Hurricaneman]

I am by no means a met, but Danny looks really good tonight. in fact better than he has since it was classified, I think it has to be more than a minimal Cat 1 based only by appearance.

Agreed. Not sure if it is the final peak, but danny is rolling for the time being and should easily be at it's strongest yet if not ever based on what happens next 36 hours. But yeah. You are right. Also notice the eye is pretty far south in the convective mass.

looks like the eye is in the middle to me but I could be wrong

Looks great on the AVN very clear pin hole eye.

[Yellow Evan]

I'd go with 80 knots.

Great to see you in here tonight ozonepete. I have not spoke to you in awhile. Yeah great discussion with NDG, my fellow pal on the Storm2K forums. It is always
great to have great dialogue on the board.

[N2FSU]

Looking good:

It is amazing what weathermen will say, had Channel 7 news on while checking Storm2K. won't mention names but he just said before a break Danny was not looking that impressive. Not sure what he is looking at to be able to say that.

[northjaxpro]

Beautifiul pinhole eye showing with Danny. In my educated opinion and analysis given the current satellite presentation, this is a Cat 2 tropical cyclone which is still strengthening.

[Miami Storm Tracker]

Could not agree with you more.

[Hurricaneman]

I can safely say this is the best MDR system since Katia in 2011 so basically in 4 years

I couldnt agree more. The sat presentation continues to improve.

We will get a better feel for his Northern wind field shortly. The closest thing we have to recon is below:

http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=41041

Wind gust to 25.3Kts last hour...center should pass between 60-70nm at its closest approach tonight...should be on the border of the TS winds... it should also happen right about the time for the 11pm advisory

So small: center passed 63nm from buoy and highest gust was like 30mph

As always my friend, it is great to see you around for another season. And thanks for saying that about the discussion. Knowledge is only gained through sharing and sometimes we share through an intense dialogue.

[northjaxpro]

Yeah, Danny is very small. TS force winds probably only extend out only 40-50 miles from the eye and hurricane force winds probably only 20 -30 miles at best. Danny is a tiny hurricane, but man he has an extremely impressive and compact inner core currently.

[Ivanhater]

Wow. Such a small and tenacious storm...Danny did it

[ozonepete]

Wow, this is looking very impressive. The overall symmetry, pinhole eye, banding features and even the outflow are all organizing at the same time.

[Siker]

Care to share an intensity estimate?

[Bocadude85]

Danny is really strengthening tonight. Look at the reds showing up on the avn.

NHC must be looking at a totally different storm. 80mph? Yeah right.
