Re: ATL: IRMA - Hurricane - Discussion
Continues to wobble further west just north of the Cuban coast. Still waiting for that north turn. Doesn't necessarily mean that it will affect further north along the Fl coast, but it does make you wonder. It will make that north move and then there is the time frame (just how much time over water off the coast of Fl---time for intensification) before landfall somewhere along the west coast of Fl.

Would you say the tornado threat for SE FL tonight was under-forecast?
Yes. We were talking about it earlier this morning once everything moved west. The tornado threat was thought to be moderate but that's because that storm vector would have mostly been offshore and along the mid and upper coast of Florida if it was a track through the SE part of the state. Because it will be the SW, then everything is dragged west accordingly. Lots of wrapping in bands with lots of on and off radar warnings.
Hurricane tornadoes are usually EF0 or EF1 rotating in from the SE instead of the usual SW motion in the southern US. From Live Science:
Cyclone-spawned tornadoes are not fundamentally different from the tornadoes that form in the Great Plains. One difference is that the former tend to be less powerful, usually not exceeding a rating of EF2 on the Enhanced Fujita scale. Secondly, twisters that form in the Plains, like the tornado that struck Moore, Okla., get all of their ingredients from separate places. In the case of the Oklahoma tornado outbreak, for example, the warm air came north from the Gulf of Mexico, while the cold air came south from Canada. In the case of hurricanes, however, they provide all the required components for twisters themselves.
With all of this shear across mid-Florida, will that increase as the storm moves north? They are giving us a moderate here in NE Florida but just pure common sense tells me that if you have upper level winds at 45 kts going in the opposite direction of a cyclone that has natural spin to begin with that threat of tornadoes should be quite high....
I am no pro but that seems like a really bad setup.

Unless it turns hard right. I really do not like the prospect of enduring the eye of the storm.

Re: ATL: IRMA - Hurricane - Discussion
It's always possible the intensity of Irma is pumping up the ridge more than the models expect and she will make a broader less drastic turn to the north. Lots of the Euro ensembles never make landfall on the peninsula and keep the center 20-30 miles off the coast the whole way up. This will save many inland areas from the most extreme winds but will keep Irma strong and create horrific storm surge in Tampa Bay.

pressure 930 in the minobs lets see what the dropsonde says.. that over 10 mb on the minobs alone since the flight arived.

Recon extrapolated 930mb and found 93 knot surface winds on the SFMR. We'll see what the vortex message says but the pressure looks to be down another smidge.

I really feel for those people that evacuated to Tampa and elsewhere and now are in the bulls eye. May be more loss of life in less sturdy buildings than if they stayed. Just no way to judge what to do, I guess. Prayers for all.

Looks like Irma this time is spreading the winds rather than concentrating it, kind of similar to Ike in 2008 after it crossed Cuba. Probably good with regards to not getting extreme winds but it will mean the wind swathe will be huge.
