Anyone have plots comparing Douglas's actually track vs. the NHC's?

115 kt is still too low for a system with a +18 C eye and a nearly full W ring.

At least he’s a Cat 4, though.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

My best guess is that this is 135 kt.

Black ring with some white showing up on Dvorak - I would say 120 kt given that structure.

Never seen a cat 3 look like this, surely NHC has to upgrade to cat 4 next advisory.

I'd give him 130kts/927mb right now. I don't think he's quite to Cat 5 yet. Tonight is probably his peak. He's heading for cooler waters and he's not giving evidence for developing a more stable, annular like structure so it'll be harder for him to survive with the more latitude he gains.

My name is being used for a cat 4 :cheesy:
I almost feel honored, haha. I remember DioBrando feeling the same way with Lorenzo last year, lol.

Damn dude, this might just skip Cat 4 and go to 5! Looks like he's making a run at 160 mph, what a monster! Holy cow! Man, Hawaii better start taking this guy seriously!
