Agree.

Euro actually has a 977 center right over savannah day 5
the trend is your friend..savannah absolutely has a decent chance of hurricane force winds in a few days, jax might be a bridge too far but the wouthward shifts continue

I would have went another 50 miles south but they everyone in that area is already under a watch so they have some room...if the next gfs goes south they will at 11

Dry air in the core again. Glad this thing is under performing.

Well looks like they moved the forecast landfall south to the South Carolina / North Carolina boarder.

Here is my 5am update:

It is not under performing. Please do not try to dismiss this and give people a false sense of hope. Regardless where it makes landfall, this is a dangerous hurricane and will affect a large portion of the east coast. The storm surge and flooding due to stalling could be catastrophic. Hopefully, everyone in the cone has made the necessary preparations.

I am not dismissing it simply stating a fact. NHC has forecasted it to get to 155 and it is struggling to maintain 130. Powerful? No doubt. Under performing? In terms of intensity forecasts yes. Nobody should dismiss the storm and I do not condone that.

Poor choice of words tarheel programmer. Florence is a Category 4 powerful hurricane which is going to cause severe havoc on many people.I would be careful not to deceive people with partcular wording or phrasing about the storm currently.

Nice video from CIMSS on the outflow channel that kicked in yesterday.

Intensity is the most difficult thing to forecast. Yeah, in this case, track is difficult as well, but that's unusual this close.
No matter how you look at it, a cat 4, cat 3, or a cat 2 hitting land and forecast to stall or meander around for days, dropping possibly record rainfall amounts for that area isn't under performing. Time will tell. I hope you're right.

She maybe creeping back up.
Coming on DMAX.
Could be a hot-tower show.

CDO is becoming a bit more symmetric and cloud tops are maintaining pretty cold. Eyewall cycles might keep it from reaching full potential, but I think she might be about to make a run for the upper levels of Cat 4 in the next 12-24 hours.

Eye looks a bit ragged, cloud tops are warming, but it does look more symmetrical

She is kicking in an equatorward outflow channel.
Poleward one is improving with the ULL to the east sliding more south.
She broke away clean from the PV streamer / anomaly.
Need to call as it is, this is just about the worst-case scenario.
Very rare this setup occurs in the Atlantic.
Very conducive for further strengthening.

Can really see Flo rock on upper-level WV.
Check the outflow kicking in on the east quad.
The PV Streamer on the SE quad is filling in fast with moisture.
Very strong jet over East Cuba / West Hispaniola.
Ideal UL conditions in place for intensification.

:uarrow: Yeah, conditions over Florence look about as ideal for further intensification as you will see. Frightening to think about considering how powerful the cyclone already is currently.

Just the last few frames does look like a strengthening trend with possibly a slight slowdown in forward speed. Official track is now showing the westward bend which will occur when the ULL just to the west finally fills in and the ridge bridges over. High cirrus is beginning to expand more symmetrically rather than a NNW oriented oblong. The slowdown in forward speed is probably just a short term wobble illusion.
