ATL: HANNA - Remnants - Discussion

[Highteeld]

Looks like some mesovorts/vortex rossby waves rotating around the eyewall

[MGC]

Radar eye really contracting....obvious strengthening. Looks like a more SW motion also. Hold on to your Cowboy hats!.....MGC

All things considered, unless we get a land observation suggesting higher, 80 kt should be the intensity at landfall.

Well Considering we only have 1 station that could possibly be in the right location for the NE quad when it arrives is the RSJT2 station that just had a 103 mph in the West quad.

if recon find even slightly higher in the NE quad this pass 85 kts is quite reasonable. given the data

They are going to take a hard right to stay away from land. But the winds weren't very strong there on the last pass.

86/80

Pretty solid 80kt hurricane. Definitely a top-tier CAT1 and more impactful than Dolly given its size.

:uarrow: The biggest problem is the shear including mid-level shear which has likely prevented Hanna from blowing up into a Cat.2 or Cat.3. But it’ll still be a Cat.1 likely still landfall and a decent one at that.

I mean you no disrespect..but shear is a good thing from where Im sittin...harvey went pretty much where this one is goin...about 300 miles or so south of me..and I lost everything....so don't take my comment the wrong way... I know you are writing your posts in a meteorological viewpoint...so far here in Brazoria, just some rain and such... I'm good with that

Yeah I’m just saying how shear likely saved you from something more significant. Sorry about your loss!

Thanks for saying... I appreciate it

Center is about 15 miles off the beach now. About as close to a cat 2 as you can get without going over the line. 20:30 end of mission.

Looking at the live Bob Hall pier video from the beach at CC, I thought I remembered it having T-Section at the end. If so, that is now missing.

surf rolling in at South Padre Island

Does it always look so brown or only because of the storm?

In my experience, the surf in Texas (at least on the upper coast) is more often brownish than it is blue, particularly in the summer. The depth of the water falls off from the beach verrrrry gradually, which means that any decent wave action caused by even a good sea breeze will stir it up, turning it that brownish tan, which also happens to be the color of the sand here. Calmer days let the sand settle out, and the water turns nice and blue if it isn't an overly cloudy day. Typically, when there's a nice, blue surf, there are also very low winds. Gulf Coast fishermen call those "ice-cream conditions." They aren't rare, but they are infrequent enough (particularly when you want them!) to make you enjoy them when they happen.

Needless to say, no place along the Texas coast is under ice-cream conditions today...

5 PM update up to 90mph.

[wx98]

Bumped up to 80 knots

A few "top ten" list of records Hanna may be joining:

[HurricaneAndre2008]

Maximum sustained winds are near 90 mph (150 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some slight strengthening is still possible before Hanna
makes landfall in a few hours. Rapid weakening is expected after
Hanna moves inland.

[CrazyC83]

The eye has become stronger and more symmetrical on radar in the last hour. One last gasp intensification run?

[eastcoastFL]

Looking very symmetrical on visible. Do we have landfall yet?

Not yet officially. The center of the eye still has about 7 miles to reach Padre Island.
