Re: ATL: MICHAEL - Hurricane - Discussion
Cooler air near a tropical cyclone does NOT necessarily indicate they can be wrapped into the circulation and weakens the storm. Wilma was swept by a late October front with temperatures in the 40s behind yet it still intensified into a major hurricane while approaching Florida. Tropical Meteorology does not work as simple as someone here keep saying, end of the story.

At least with the front coming though the folks that lose power won't have the suffer though these 90 degree temps we've been having.

Taking a quick step back this dusk at Hurricane Michael and the Gulf of Mexico. Cirrus outflow is clearly evident, though some upper resistance has caused cirrus to form into a sort of bubble.

Eastern eyewall looks good on radar.

I think the NOAA recon will find the eye a little further east than thought, it seems to be north of the western tip of Cuba, IMO.

Re: ATL: MICHAEL - Hurricane - Discussion
I suspect pressure will probably be in the low 970s

Re: ATL: MICHAEL - Hurricane - Discussion
[quote="GBPackMan"] The Jet stream remains anchored to the southwestern US with the eastern edge pushing further SE across the central plains which is what guides the turn to the NE with this storm into Panama City or further east. This is also the cold front that has snow being dropped into the Rockies, so it has the colder outflow off the SE turn of the jet stream that many models are not accounting for. /quote]
Many models don't know how to account for "the colder outflow off the SE tun of the jet stream"? You are confusing two different levels of the atmosphere, the surface and the upper levels.

Perhaps, but sometimes images on long range radar are a bit distorted.

I am expecting high 960s.
Recon turned South. It looks like it's going slower than they expected.
