What are you talking about? 12Z GFS brings Matthew inland north of Cape Canaveral.

Matthew's satellite presentation in the IR band showing northern part really starting to warm.....something is going on with Matt's core for sure....MGC

Founder of what trend? Still shows Matthew making landfall in the Cape.

all depends on many factors.. big one is the size.. this is a pretty small system so it could take hours..
honestly its happening rather quickly already interesting to see..
We will know much more when recon gets there to sample it

Yes, it is starting to look more like a landfall from Melbourne on north and, not from Port St Lucie, Cape Canaveral with the highest chance, IMO.

There is no rule of thumb, it varies by storm. Ike started one and could never finish it off...

What are you talking about? 12Z GFS brings Matthew inland north of Cape Canaveral.
What are you even talking about? That's heavily naive considering the massive ERC it's going through that will likely even out the eyewall and the CDO, therefore the winds and weather. And whether or not the worst weather is on one side or another doesn't matter, if the core makes landfall you're screwed already.

Thanks...was just looking for averages. Guess we're about to find out.

Yup. As I thought and similar to David....very little going on here. From this angle of approach, on the SW side of a hurricane...you just dont get all that much. Occasional rain band, but it's disingenuous to say that a rain band is anywhere near as hazardous as being in that little core "donut" around the eye. I suspect this is what will happen in much of South Florida. Just looking with my eyes at the way it's moving, it might just stay off the Florida coast altogether. Not a forecast, just observation. It didn't jog west enough to be a significant factor for Dade, increasingly Broward. We'll see with PBC and points north.

Re: ATL: MATTHEW - Hurricane - Discussion
Seems like we're seeing more northerly wobbles than westerly wobbles. IF that keeps up, it would be a good development here in Palm Beach County. We will see

But more time over water. Not good with an ERC going on.

Re: ATL: MATTHEW - Hurricane - Discussion
Don't focus on wobbles. Hurricanes of Matthew's intensity do NOT follow a straight line. The overall average motion is unchanged.

Re: ATL: MATTHEW - Hurricane - Discussion
Light blustery winds here from the N, nothing worth reporting. Broken lower deck clouds entrained N to S.
If that outer eyewall takes over it could drive the hardest winds deeper inland.
Headed to high bridge on Sanibel Causeway to look at bands before it rains.

with the ERC happening it is not a good idea to watch the wobbles that inner eye is going to start bouncing around alot..

And it seems to have happened pretty quickly. But I don't have the experience to know that.

Re: ATL: MATTHEW - Hurricane - Discussion
Question for the pro mets. Is it true that an eyewall replacement cycle if given enough time can actually help to transition hurricane into annular?

Re: ATL: MATTHEW - Hurricane - Discussion
As of the moment, the outer eyewall has a radius of 38 miles/diameter of 76 miles. With an outer eyewall that large, I'd guess this is probably a 24 hour or so eyewall replacement if uninterrupted. The moat extends completely around the inner eyewall on 1.3* tilt now as well, so this eyewall replacement is going forward.
