ATL: GORDON - Post-Tropical

[RL3AO]

As a southerner "born and raised", most people have no idea what a storm surge warning is and ignore watches, unfortunately. They move when the news says Hurricane Warning...

A warning by definition is issued about 24 hours before impacts start. If people choose to wait until tomorrow morning then that is their fault. The NHC can lead a horse to water....

Recon is finding intense rainfall rates

Whoa!!

[toad strangler]

Getting in on outermost NE precip in Port St. Lucie now.

The floater has been moved so the map is not showing, but in a way this gives a better view of how Gordon is developing.

Not even close to any kind of shear.

The shear, as others mentioned over the last several days, has been moving in step with the system, slowly lessening in its path. If you can see trending, it's likely for that to continue.

For reference:
Rapid intensification is a meteorological condition that occurs when a tropical cyclone intensifies dramatically in a short period of time. The United States National Hurricane Center defines rapid intensification as an increase in the maximum sustained winds of a tropical cyclone of at least 30 knots (35 mph; 55 km/h) in a 24-hour period.

Hmm, interesting turn to the east by recon.

[Highteeld]

Already intensifying.

[Hypercane_Kyle]

Radar shows Gordon is quickly developing the beginnings of an inner core

What makes you think of RI here?

No doubt

Looking better by the hour

[floridasun78]

Hmm, interesting turn to the east by recon.

east?

[PSUHiker31]

I'm not saying Gordon will get anywhere near this strong, but watching it develop... Where it is, its size, and now that tiny proto inner core makes me wonder if we had these tools in 1935 if the Labor Day hurricane would have looked very similar

[Aric Dunn]

I go to bed when the center was rapidly organizing east of southernmost florida thinking..i bet when i wake up its going to have an eyewall lol.

[tolakram]

After refreshing 200 times I was finally able to get a NEXRAD loop from Wunderground.

Saved loop.

[GCANE]

Warm core hanging in there
