The UKMET and NAVGEM 12Z runs are both showing an intense hurricane just barely off the SE Coast of Florida with the UKMET shifting quite a bit west from its 00Z run


For sure. But the big question is, will she survive that long? Been struggling last several hours and unless convection gets back over the center by tonight, I don't know if she can avoid the same fate as Danny, you know? We'll see...

Convection continues to build and reach for the circulation to the north:

Convection is getting closer to the LLC every IR frame and it is blowing up big time right now. We may have liftoff.

If you look at this loop, there was a center just off to the wnw of the main convection that tucked directly under the main convection right as it was blowing up. I think that might end up being the main center

The outflow really seems to hit a wall about 5 deg to the west of Erika, that seems to be the edge of much drier air.

Very likely due the convective blowup, it's looking more closed today based on a very close look at cloud motion between the beginning vs the end of the loop. Unfortunately the buoys appear to have stopped reporting (or aren't showing up on this loop at least) though we'll have the plane in there within the next few hours.

Erika isn't slowing down. Any mets can shine light on what's causing such a pacey forward speed?

40 knot low-level jet (700mb) was sampled by dropsondes just to the north. Storm is embedded in this flow.
