ATL: DELTA - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[plasticup]

Anyone care to venture what Delta's lowest pressure will be? I'm going to go with 914mb

I'll say 180 mph and 899 mbar, just so it officially enters the Atlantic sub-900mb club, which hasn't had a new entry since Rita and Wilma in 2005.

There are only 5 Atlantic members of that club. The basin can only barely support it.

130 kt FL and 115 kt SFMR!

We are witnessing something truly spectacular.

Looks like this thing will get to CAT5 in a hurry. Already ~115kt per recon

[MarioProtVI]

NHC needs to issue an update statement and then special advisory at 12pm EDT to update projected peak. Guessing they will go 130-135 kt.

[HurricaneEnzo]

Looking like the streak of consecutive years with a Cat 5 has a pretty good shot at continuing. Delta is going berserk.

[Do_For_Love]

Woah...Cat 4 already??

[kevin]

Recon can't seem to get enough of Delta. 3 center passes already and they're going South again so I think they might go for another one, right?

[Kazmit]

Did it just... completely skip over cat 3 strength and go straight up to a 4?

I always felt 2020 had to have a Cat 5. It just wouldn't make sense for it not to

[ElectricStorm]

130 kt FL and 115 kt SFMR!

Oh boy. Could there actually be a chance my 180mph prediction could be too low?... Please no. Anyone in Cancun needs to get out now

[p1nheadlarry]

NHC at 11:00 : upgrades to Cat 3

Delta at 11:15 : lol

NHC at 11:15 : pikachu face

928mb 140 mph

[supercane4867]

Delta is going to eat the remnants of Gamma for lunch

2020 would be the place to introduce a Cat. 6.

[WAcyclone]

FL winds just increased 25 kt in the same quadrant in 40 minutes...

I made a post over at Talkin' Tropics to discuss how strong Delta will get.
