For the Atlantic the highest one I can see is Hurricane Edith (1971) at 943mb. Gustav was close to a Category 5 at a similar MSLP.


Edith is subject to change since it hasn't been reanalyzed. If the 943 was accepted at face value with no other wind data, it would support 130 kt given its size and position, but it may have been stronger before landfall depending on timing.

Actually, if it were to make it to Cat 5, that would be better than average, because Cat 5s are rare and happen only once per decade on average. (At least. that's what I read sometime ago.) It's just that so many of them have occurred since the start of the active Atlantic hurricane cycle began in the '90s, that we think it;s normal to have them every couple of years.


Well the current drought of 9 years has been the longest since the 50s

As originally mentioned, Felix's 150 kt/935 mb is also notable. The WPac also has some "category 5s" with pressures >940 mb, but that was back in a more primitive era of recon.

143 SFMR supports Cat 5 though.

Highest pressure for a Category 5 ever was Edith 1971 with 943 mbar.


Oh I thought Edith was downgraded. :lol:

Recon does sort of support it though. We will just have to wait another pass to see if the winds support it even more.

Once per decade seems unrepresentative. I made this post a while back on the subject.

If it warrants it, NHC will do it. They extrapolated an 872 mb pressure between recon missions with Patricia in the postseason just last year.

Holy crap I didn't know that, I've been out of it! :eek: :eek: . 872 mb? Dats nuts and then some. I thought its final pressure was 878 or so.

This may be the best Matthew looks in it's entire life, and we don't even have daytime visible satellite to fully appreciate it's beauty. I think I can really enjoy it right now, knowing it currently (likely) isn't destroying or hurting anyone at the moment while appreciating it's meteorological beauty.

TCR granted 872 and they even acknowledged that there was a gap between recon where it may have even been lower than 870.

The NHC track doesn't change with intermediate advisories (only full advisories). The next update will be at 10 pm CDT.

My mistake, I deleted my post.

EDIT: as for the person who called me an idiot, I just look at the NHC cone and see what it says. It is interpreted differently to others. No need to insult anyone in this board.

Yeah and the usual confusion which ensues, with some calling it a Cat 4 and others saying that it's Cat 5, partly due to the fact that many aren't aware that the Saffir-Simpson scale was adjusted slightly in 2012: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pdf/sshws_2012rev.pdf

seems to have increased forward wsw motion again.. this is going to be the key night it will pass all the models turning points tonight if it does not slow down and turn... then everything else is open..

It means the eye temperature (per ADT readout) measured by geostationary satellite is now above 0*C. Like earlier when the eye broke into the off-whites, it shows the eye is continuing to warm, implying continued strengthening. The next breakpoint to watch is when it reaches warm medium grey, which is the warmest shade on BD IR. That will happen when the eye warms beyond 9*C.

Yep, as Alyono pointed out stronger="more west" while in the Caribbean. Aric is it pumping up the ridge in your opinion?
