We got an AMSU estimate at 2138Z from NOAA-15. The estimate is good for 120 kt/939 mb, which seems consistent with the NHC's intensity estimates from 18Z and 00Z. Still think I would have bumped to 130 kt at 03Z.

CIMSS/NESDIS-USAF/NRL AMSU TC Intensity Estimation:
HURRICANE LORENZO
Thursday 26sep19 Time: 2138 UTC
Latitude: 16.37 Longitude: -40.78
Storm position corresponds to AMSU-A FOV 18 [1<--->30]
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| Estimated MSLP: 939 hPa
| Estimated Maximum Sustained Wind: 120 kts
| Estimate Confidence: Good ( +/- 10mb +/- 12kts )
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Storm is sub-sampled: Bias correction applied is -6.0 hPa
Channel 8 (~150 hPa) Tb Anomaly: 4.36
Channel 7 (~250 hPa) Tb Anomaly: 4.49
Channel 6 (~350 hPa) Tb Anomaly: 4.12
RMW: 18 km
RMW Source is: MW
Environmental Pressure: 1012 (TPC)
Satellite: NOAA-15
ATCF data for Month: 09 Day: 27 Time (UTC): 0000

57.7W for Irma is the easternmost category five on record so that would obliterate the record by a massive amount if it WERE to be classified a 5. Which, I doubt happens without recon support. Cloud tops definitely more impressive than Dorian, but Dorian's symmetry was incredible and though Lorenzo is definitely breaking some records I'd like to see that eyewall organization trend continue before I'd make a case for cat 5. If it somehow goes without an ERC tomorrow it'll be on its way if the OHC there is even enough to support 135-140kt. No doubt the closest candidate in the satellite era in that area though.

Not a meteorologist, in fact more of an idiot than anything. You should probably check with the NHC or a local NWS office for official information.

Seeing a large area of CMG, borderline CDG, on the southern side, but the cloud tops have warmed a tad on the northern side. If everything can wrap around though, we'd have a solid cat 5.

Not quite actually. Hugo '89 and Isabel '03 were both a little further to the east as category 5s. Here's all category 5 points east of 60ºW in best track.

Yes, the title says 60ºE. Ignore it, I messed it up.

Hah, I THOUGHT Hugo seemed like it was further east. I must have been thinking about it being the easternmost outside of the deep MDR northeast of the Antilles... but Isabel has it beat there as well. Oops.

I doubt NHC will upgrade on a TC Update or Special Advisory unless it is crystal clear though. Just need the NW quad to thicken about 0.2 degrees for a clear-cut T7.0 (really more like T7.3 in that situation).

If I recall correctly, MICHAEL featured a similar convective pattern in its CDO as it rapidly intensified upon landfall in the FL Panhandle. IGOR (2010) also exhibited a similar CDO and peak temperature in the eye at its peak over the open Atlantic. Based on these data, I would say that LORENZO likely peaked at 130-135 knots, though it could have briefly attained Cat-5 status (140 knots). Perhaps the post-seasonal analysis will increase the intensity to at least 130 knots, based on satellite data.

Why are you saying it’s already peaked?

Stronger westerlies are already impinging on the northwestern semicircle, so LORENZO should begin to slowly weaken within a day, despite warming SSTs.

It appears sheared to the WNW to me...could be wrong as I'm a newbie. Other areas look stronger though to me

Making a move to the N, may be a wobble though

Wow, Lorenzo is looking pretty powerful! Sure, it might not get classified as Category 5 unless it's CDO gets even more symmetric and the eye more round. I think Igor 2010 is a good comparison.
Also, this storm may be a case like Edouard 1996, which was kept as Cat 4 even though he looked like a 5 to me at its peak. With no recon, it is hard to get a 5 far east in this basin lol.

That frame might not even qualify as T6.5.

This is basically an EPAC esque strong Cat 4.
