IMO, the tendency ultimately over time will be for Matt to move more E than W... Just takes so many factors to be in the right place to get a system to move W during October... JMHO...

Yes. NWS stations are releasing balloons gather upper air data every 6 hours, and the first half of the new G-IV date might be in.

Oh, definitely. I'd say there's a 100% chance this is the last Matthew, even if it zips OTS with zero US damage.


So much for the no "M" storm ever to hit the US record :raincloud:

The month still doesn't determine what will happen. If the upper levels support a west track then that's what'll happen.

Hurricane Hunters are up. Should have a good idea as far as actual intensity for landfall in Haiti.

Why are all these models in intensity pretty much saying this will be a TS in 5 days, I just don't see it unless it goes in land and stays in land.


Not sure which models you're looking at but if you look at this latest intensity model group run (from tropicaltidbits), you'll see that over a third are forecasting Matthew to be a strong catagory 2-4 hurricane at 5 days. The official NHC forecast is calling for a borderline Cat 2-3 hurricane at 120 hours as well.

Just playing the odds probably. It isn't an easy task for a storm to make it up to NC as a cat 3/4. It's gonna be hugging the coast I suspect it is gonna have problems with pulling dry air off of land into the circulation causing weakening. They were calling for Irene to be a cat 4 up here but it weakened to a 1. Not saying it can't happen because it has but it's not the norm.

My guess is no landfall in Haiti just stroll around it but I could be wrong

It seems Matthew is not only to be the first CAT5 in the Atlantic since Felix but also may very well be the first landfalling CAT5 since Felix

Plenty of extreme heat contents up into the Bahamas even HIGHER than what Matthew has encountered so far


Yet the NHC is of the belief it weakens through the Bahamas. GFS and other models showing extremely favorable conditions there. I'm confident that it weakens as it nears the SE/MidATL due to warm water not being as deep (and I think it will be slower than GFS), but it might rebound pretty quickly if the core isn't too disrupted after Haiti/Cuba.

Interesting. My local TVmet (he's the only one who saw Charlie's turn toward Peace RIver, so, he's the only one I TRUST!) just said Matt COULD BE DOWNRADED and not even still be a hurricane (but a very strong TS as it passes by FL, or skirts it .

I thought that was very odd.


Must think Cuba takes a lot of starch out of it. Could happen, I kinda lean toward that.

I'll be very surprised if Matthew does not regain Cat 4 intensity after crossing Haiti or Cuba.

The NHC has been under-forecasting Matthew's intensity for days. I'm sure that they don't want to overly alarm folks in the Carolinas just yet, while there is still considerable uncertainty in the track. Conditions look quite good for Matthew to maintain Cat 3-4 strength through the Bahamas to the Carolinas. As for weakening to a TS, that's quite unlikely.

Concerning Florida - no one is forecast hurricane conditions there, only a brush with tropical storm conditions. No need to panic, just be ready in case the winds are toward the upper end of TS conditions vs. the lower end.

Just an FYI, even though Matthew will most certainly kill thousands in Haiti, it will be mostly due to floods and landslides. The western part of the Tiburon peninsula appears lightly populated with several more resort-like areas that will see damage.

Not trying to downplay the seriousness for these people, but just trying to insert context of what Haiti is like.

Makes for a lousy day of college ball. All of the Triangle ACC schools are home on Saturday. Would be terrible traffic with many possible evacuees riding out there.

psyclone wrote:OMG at that 5 pm advisory and the massive probability uptick that accompanied it :eek: . You'd think there would be some watches for the east coast sometime tomorrow. Even if they're TS watches keep in mind that's what was initially issued for the Tiburon peninsula and look at the pickle they're in now. Conversely things got better for our friends in Jamaica. Obviously watching trends is important and in the US case the trend is definitely NOT our friend..


Whats ironic is that I can see NHC tomm. a.m., putting up T.S. Watches for Keys and Miami-Dade County and Hurricane Watches up from Broward County up to at least St. Lucie County. Only reason that those Watches wont go further north is simply that Watches further north along the coast would be unnecessarily far in advance. Reality is, Hurricane Watches will very very likely be issued at some point for the rest of the E. Florida Coastline. Crazy angle that Matthew would supposedly be approaching from "could" cause hurricane conditions over time, from Broward to Jacksonville. I still think that there' is little risk to extreme S. Florida but I think Delray Beach to Cocoa has a Bulls Eye on them (even if the eye comes right up to 10-20 miles offshore scraping the coastline. WAY to close for comfort (but would be a far better outcome).

Look out S. Carolina, I'm thinking the ridge will amplify enough to keep a fast moving storm to directly threaten your coastline.
