ATL: NICHOLAS - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[Teban54]

Whoa, 70/988 now. Well that was quite a jump. Maybe Nicholas will try and juuust make it to 75 mph before landfall?

Yesterday, in his video, Mark Sudduth predicted it would be a hurricane by landfall.

I think Nicholas' lack of additional organization and failure to stack earlier today made a lot of people doubt it would still become a hurricane.

Am i loosing my mind, or is radar showing it going back out to sea? At this rate and direction it will pass right under Houston.. I don't see anyone talking about it so I feel like I am seeing something that isn't there. Reality check anyone?

I think the band is wrapping around the center making it look like it's moving back out the sea even though it's not.

A few observations: it’s pretty cool outside here for an incoming tropical system. It’s doesn’t feel muggy at all - feels almost like fall.
Also, to the northwest it was partially blue skies with a nice bright sunset.
Nicholas is basically half a storm and I am on the edge.

Nick looks quite impressive until you realize the actual CoC is on the SW edge of the CDO feature

Ah okay this makes sense, having trouble keeping up with the "center" so didn't even think about that. Thank you!

You mean blue ocean effect?

That shear is still shoving what ever tries to wrap around back into itself. Doubt it because Texas Ain't no brown ocean, its a brown desert.

No problem!

If it fully wraps up 970s might be in play. There's some crazy mid-level vorticity up for grabs

[ElectricStorm]

Looks like the winds still haven't caught up yet now it just needs to get to land before they have a chance to do so

Where can I find this radar?

There are plenty of hurricane-force FL winds, and pressure continues to drop. It won’t be long before we have Hurricane Nicholas — not a very impressive hurricane, but still one nonetheless.
