ATL: IRMA - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[Aric Dunn]

last 30 t0 45 min looks like its doing a small little loop.. very small.. wobbleing ssw.. could be the turn happenin shortly.


just stepped away for a couple hours and its well on its way. winds will take some time to come back.

Storm surge already getting bad in Key West. It might be completely underwater by the peak of the storm. Quite a shocking video.

That doesn't look like Key West to me. I could be wrong though.

That's the North Cuban coast....the photog is listed as KW

OK Irma, where'd you hide Florida?

[Yellowlab]

This is both sad and stupid.

In about 6 hours I'm afraid there's going to be a lot of people in Key West that are going to regret their decision. They need to pray Irma doesn't go west of them...

Thanks FrankP,

on the radar you provided for sure it is moving. Why would the basic Key west radar look as if it's not moving?

I don't know it seems to be moving to me on KBYX... one thing to note is that the lower elevation angles update ~every 2 minutes in the scanning strategy (VCP 212 w/Sails) key west radar so you would need a loop with more frames to adequately judge movement.

Place is pretty dead for a hurricane relatively close to Florida

Good job on preps guys!

I had to run out to Metairie about an hour ago. Lots and lots of FL License Plates driving around greater New Orleans second only to LA licence plates. Very noticeable on the I-10.

that outer eyewall is going to have to get much stronger to choke of that inner eyewall..

[gatorcane]

Yeah does look like a SSW wobble...maybe the turn is about ready to commence

She looks to have put on the brakes

In 3 posts posted within minutes of each other, we've had predictions that Irma is making it's turn north, wobbling west, and conducting a loop to the ssw. Never a dull moment!

Might not have it done by the time it hits the keys, but I believe there is plenty of time to do it before it's peninsula landfall.

I've been following Miami met John Morales on Twitter since this was looking like a major impact for Miami.

Can anyone give recommendations of the best Twitter accounts / mets to follow for SW FL - Naples, Ft Myers, Tampa...

thats hard to tell on there. im using GRlevel analyst long loops. looks like its a small loop.. just those normal wobbles.

Here's another one then to add to that: Hurricane Irma's average mean motion is exactly on track.

Well, it's difficult to explain.

Gotcha Aric!

NOAA are one Recon-plane down today due to a lightning strike earlier on.

The lightning strike was believed to be minor and hit the front end of the modified C130 aircraft leaving some damage. The aircraft will be grounded for some time to be fixed for the damage, but it is unknown how long.

NOAA flies P3's. It was an Air Force C130 that was hit by lightning.

Ah I wasn't sure who flies what, looking at FR24 NOAA has their Gulfstream IV in the air at the moment. South of Cuba.
