I think this is the biggest reason they aren't as bullish on the intensity as the models are--they are accounting for the possibility that the shear simply doesn't drop to start with, and I think this is a distinct possibility as the models have done fairly poorly with the shear so far.

the NHC intensity forecast is highly deficient from a science perspective.

Again, they have this only intensifying by 5 kts over 48 hours under low shear and some of the world's highest heat content. Yet, they show more intensification during shear of the next couple of days

If they ever want to have a chance t predicting rapid intensity changes, they need to start using the global model intensity forecasts, which are now quite good. When global models are nearly all showing cat 3+, chances are this is going to be very very intense, not a cat 2

Careful with that assumption. Recon did circle back around a little bit on the previous pass to try and hit the absolute center.

If NHC thinks this is only going to intensify 15-20kt over 4 days, I have some oceanfront property in Switzerland to sell them. The storm should only gradually intensify through tomorrow, but rapid intensification is a distinct possibility thereafter. There's a reason the GFS/ECMWF/HWRF all have a Category 4 hurricane. This happened with Gaston too.

The timing complexities Mark and Levi were hinting at have to do with a number of things. Most importantly, it's not just about how quickly Matthew moves but how quickly the ridge builds back in. If the ridge builds in quickly compared to Matthew's location/speed, he will go more westward. If the ridge builds in slowly compared to Matthew's location/speed, he will go further east. The G-IV plane was collecting data on exactly this ridge, so hopefully the 00z models will resolve its evolution better, and reduce the modelling issue to simply one of a variance in Matthew's speed.

Earlier W shifts in some models not enough to convince the brass as of yet.

I notice the new track did not shift westward and remains far enough eastward to not bother FL...Looks like it ends a good distance ESE of Andros having moved nearly due north between the last two forecast points. With the latter forecast points now nearing the latitude of FL watching these forecasts evolve will be interesting. also the other products like the wind probabilities maps will increasingly become of value. the consistent target zone of eastern Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica and the Bahamas continue to be the recurrent theme.

I know we saw Gaston but it's been a long time since we saw a low-end hurricane exploding into a major within a few hours in this basin. I've seen the look of intense cyclones in my part of the world that underwent very rapid intensification over the past few years, and in my amateur opinion Matthew kinda have that look as well..

Someone posted on another forum that Chief Meteorologist Steve Weagle of WPTV in W. Palm Beach is reporting that samplings indicate the Bermuda High is stronger than indicated by the models and the high northeast of Cuba is also stronger.

Probably means a recurve farther west so Florida will have to watch this

Thanks, good to know. That's not necessarily indicative of a quicker rebuilding of the ridge after Matthew crosses into the Bahamas, but it would certainly imply a potentially longer delay to the initial northward turn.

I watch Steve Weagle all the time. Very good met. BUT, I did not see this particular segment and if he did have things to say as quoted above you would think the 0z's would show this. We shall see.

That's rather interesting, but at the same time, more proof is needed.

We should have a good idea in the next several hours once the models start coming in. If this is true then there should be a decent westward shift.
