This is very clearly weakening and was probably never a hurricane again to begin with, or it was but very briefly. Pressure has risen over half a dozen mbar since the recon flight that found a 60 kt TS.

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.

I didn’t get that. It did its thing, but outside of minor track and intensity fluctuations, it’s done what many of the models and NHC suggested from 5+ days out. I thought it was an eastern Gulf storm from last Thursday. I wasn’t sure if it was going to reach hurricane strength in the Gulf (debatable if it did), or exactly which side of our armpit it would land on.

Is there a minimum amount of time a TC has to be at hurricane strength in order to be classified as one?

Tellingly, though, they dropped any chance of hurricane force winds for Tampa and cut the probability of high-end TS winds almost in half from 64 to 34.

New cone. Now forecast to landfall as a TS, even though it most certainly already is.

Given the 2pm intensity was 70mph--confirmed by recon--and radar appearance this was almost assuredly a hurricane, but probably around 5pm.

I don't think so. Barry in 2019 was a hurricane for a few hours right at landfall, so it's entirely possible the final BT has the 18 and 00 positions as tropical storm, but have an intermediate point indicating it was a hurricane around 21z.

Called it. Not that I expect it but at this point, better safe than sorry.

Really curious as to what caused the almost instantaneous collapse right as it was in ramp up mode. Fascinating
