Re: ATL: MICHAEL - Hurricane - Discussion
Why are the updates at 7, 10, 1, 4, etc. instead of 8, 11, 2, 5, etc.? At least that’s what I seem to remember the times to be. Sorry in advance if this has been asked and answered.

And that's from a sloppy storm, against a westerly shear without a well defined eye in October. Thank heaven conditions arn't ideal.

Central time I believe. They put something into place (I think last year) that the advisories would be listed in local time.

I'm not sure where this talk of this being a "sloppy" storm is coming from. Visually and structurally, this is a very impressive storm having been a hurricane for less than 24-hours.

Re: ATL: MICHAEL - Hurricane - Discussion
So what happened to all the rain in the Miami forecast? Forecast had called for 60% rain through Thursday, now down to 30% all days. Did the intensification of Michael pull those bands back toward the core?

Re: ATL: MICHAEL - Hurricane - Discussion
Fascinating storm. I see similarities with Opal, and it worries me more to think that Michael has more time over water due to its slower movement. Regardless of shifts, regardless of changes in intensity forecasts---this storm must be taken seriously. I'm no met, but a major hurricane is likely, which concurs with the NHC forecast. Expect the worst, hope for the best. Moreover, Michael could be stricken off the naming lists.

Re: ATL: MICHAEL - Hurricane - Discussion
He'll never be the prettiest storm but that doesn't matter, it'll still pack a wallop.
However due to slightly unfavorable upper level conditions, it's unlikely to get stronger than 120-125 mph. Still thinking it'll be 100mph at landfall.

I think it's just bc of daylight savings, the advisors are always at the same intervals in gmt

Same over here on the east coast, but i’m not sure if it’s early Mike bands or the low to our east. Pleasantly breezy though.

I'm thinking that the message was transmitted before they recorded those 100+ knot fl level winds.

Not meaning to hurt Michael's feelings; Perhaps he didn't hear. Unsteady eye feature, west quad restricted outflow, open eye wall. Don't get me wrong, I like the kid - he's got gutz and he's shedding millibars like no one's business. He's gonna be a contender, this one is!

Re: ATL: MICHAEL - Hurricane - Discussion
Recon data looks like it supports at least 80kt with the 102kt flight winds and 78kt SFMR.

I just noticed that the VDM is from the AF recon not the NOAA plane that found the 102 fl level winds in the NE Quadrant.
