ATL: MATTHEW - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[SouthDadeFish]

Still no obvious secondary eyewall on SW side of the storm yet:



Pretty remarkable that the small inner-core has been able to hold steady for this long.

Every jog west will hopefully help Haiti from receiving the worst...but puts Jamaica more in the bullseye.

My thoughts too. Haiti has a bad track record when it comes to hurricanes. Jamaica is better equipped to deal with it.

Here's a closer look at it.

that tweet he made was in response to my question: "do you like their track or west of it"

Extremely healthy outflow. If Matthew can work out its inner core issues it could easily become >160mph.

[GCANE]

Looking at the last 4 vortex messages, core temp has been consistently dropping.
Went from 9C to 5C.

Is this a sign of strengthening or weakening?

That would be a sign of weakening. It's having some issues with its attempted eyewall replacement

Just got in from mojin de gras.

From what I can see, not a lot of convection to heat up the core.

[baitism]

Wasn't there a hurricane a few years ago that started and EWRC and never really got out of it?

[AdamFirst]

NHC doesn't have the storm crossing 75W until Wednesday

Looks like it will cross that tonight

Been listening to Power 106 out of Jamaica, they are definitely preparing very well, as they always do. http://www.jamaicaradio.net/power-106/

IMO....looks like Matthew has Jamaica in its' sight.

For what it is worth, here in SE Fla the winds are brisk from the east and ENE, indicative of the high pressure being stronger.

[Aric Dunn]

last two frames showing yet another westerly motion.. only mentioning the wabbles ( which I rarely do) but getting awfully close to Jamaica.

[GCANE]

Very pathetic rain-rate and intensity.
Obviously, from sitting too long in one spot.

[sponger]

Going to be Ugly for Haiti!
