ATL: DORIAN - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[EquusStorm]

That's one of the more rapid drops in a while. Unless an EWRC takes over soon I don't think we are close to bottoming out. At that rate will likely see an even further drop on subsequent passes.

[psyclone]

Looks can be deceiving but many times they aren't. Dorian is doing it appeared to be doing...undergoing explosive intensification.

[Monsoonjr99]

Yeah this thing is about to explode. Scared to see what it will look like tomorrow morning. This is a disaster for the NW Bahamas.

Looks like it already is.

All I did was leave for one standby...

Wow.

946mb

[GCANE]

Splash 951mb

I could see him going for Wilma's records of pressure and also record for wind speed the way he is going when he hasn't hit the Gulf Stream yet.

Could we see a storm get into the 870's and winds around 200?? Highly unlikely but I don't think we can rule it out yet, the way he is intensifying way more than anyone thought.

It’s 12.18am here in england but I don’t want to sleep as recon is going in! Stunningly dangerous storm

Happy hunting, James

I highly doubt it. The only place in this basin that could support that would be the western Caribbean

[stormhunter7]

Recon just turned north bound from SE side of Dorian. Should have VDM anytime now.

[EquusStorm]

Barring unexpected mitigating factors 930s seems guaranteed and I wouldn't be shocked to see 920s or maybe lower given the time it has left over warm water.

Labor Day of 35 got pretty close in the area. That being said I agree it is unlikely.

Its deepening rapidly but please control the sensationalism

WV showing one solid mesovort now.

Let's not get carried away. There is no need to cause undue panic.

[stormhunter7]

"The dropsonde in #Dorian's eye measured a pressure of 951mb with a 13 kt wind, so the accurate pressure is probably ~950mb."

[WmE]

It really is impressive how warm the eye is.

At its current state, it's not likely at the moment. It's a rather mature system now with a very clear, large eye.

Not surprised recon found deeper pressures given the quick warming of the eye some hours ago and its relative latitude during RI working the inner core. All in Florida should not take this storm lightly.
