Re: ATL: INVEST 99L - Discussion
that circ is beginning to weaken likely going to have multiple vorts produced until the shear lowers.

Re: ATL: INVEST 99L - Discussion
I think within the next couple of hours you can throw out the "shredded by Hispanola" idea out the window the apparent LLC looks to easily clear the big islands. Not good and the Euro seems spot on so far.

Is there any reason for concern that it could strengthen more quickly than that and be something more significant coming into Florida? This also presumes that it does make landfall somewhere on Fl's east coast.
It's too early to guess this far out, but I think open wave to Cat 2 are the fringes with most likely a tropical storm or Cat 1. I posted earlier that Joe B thinks "Katrina in Florida" is a good comparison of what to expect. It's just going to be a few days of movement until it gets to the Bahamas. Sometimes it will look better than others. But then once it hooks west (if it does), you could see something intensifying at landfall and just basically plowing across the state with minimal disruption. But it's too early to make that an official guess at this point.
My personal OPINION is that, if anything, 99 could surprise to the upside in terms of strength given the right conditions. Unlike previous systems over the past few years, 99 should dodge interaction with Hispanola. The waters are bathtub warm in its path, and there are no other significant landmasses to disrupt the circulation. After all, the Bahamian islands are mostly small, flat as a pancake, and surrounded by water. Could 99 ultimately spin up to, say, Cat 2 strength? Yes, given the right conditions. Will it? Unfortunately, there truly is no way to know. Given the intensity spread in the modelling, this is going to be a really tough call for forecasters.

Yes. They are super cautious when millions of people and billions of dollars may be at stake.
You bring up a very good point here. Once they upgrade and there is an official forecast it sets in motion many things at the local and state levels of government. I'm sure the Florida EOC and SERT are already well briefed on the situation as well as the local EOC's, but when you get that official forecast is when it really sets in.
Furthermore, if they were to upgrade with a forecasted strike on South Florida and then for some reason it falls apart...Well that just fuels the complacency that we already are seeing in South Florida. Many people have the attitude down here that a storm will "always turn" or "will fall apart" because that's what they always do. South Florida has been in the error cone so many times over the past 11 years and yet no strike. Unfortunately that builds the complacent attitude that many have. Debby a few years ago is the best example of this. Forecasted to strike South Florida as a hurricane. If I recall watches and warnings even went up. And then she took a dive over Hispaniola and Cuba and died. Many people think they will always do that and will not prepare. One day that will come back to bite them.
T.S. Erika from last year is another example - forecasted to plow into South FL as a decent hurricane but instead just fell apart after dealing with Hispanola.

I don't think there are any other sites with that same path structure (.../ur/urnt15.knhc.txt) where the raw data is uploaded.
If you want to decode data from sites with a text block only, you might want to try the raw data on Levi Cowan's site.
For example: http://www.tropicaltidbits.com/data/rec ... INVEST.dat
There's almost no code except for the data itself and a few header lines, but you'll have to split the data up into 10-minute blocks to get each individual HDOB.
