ATL: NICHOLAS - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[jasons2k]

Wow y'all. What an interesting system. Very dynamic with a mixture of dry and tropical air. It looking more like a Freeport area landfall and a very tight rainfall gradient. I may not be getting much more out of this. Forecasts for Houston and a lot of surrounding areas are going to bust...

Just gusts here in Victoria, Virtually no rain since earlier in the day.

I am actually at work in Quintana which is the island toward the coast next to Freeport. Work wind gauge is showing 40mph with gusts to 55 so far but it is also being blocked by a ship so it will not be as accurate.

Will be really interesting to see what the NHC says at 10PM.

[Stormcenter]

It sure will be interesting.

I wouldn't speak so soon on that looks like areas in Jefferson County south of I-10 are going to see very heavy rainfall still

[ElectricStorm]

NE side much weaker now was not expecting that

[IcyTundra]

Nicholas is on crack or something very odd storm.

[Sciencerocks]

Very close to hurricane strength! On the knife edge!

[underthwx]

Alot of wind. Rain and lightening in Sweeny

[capNstorms]

Jefferson county and beaumont about to get hammered when thar feeder band shows on the back door, I think I might get the Yukon out and go play hehe

[ElectricStorm]

Did they miss that big band? Just seems weird how the FL winds are so much lower this pass. There's some SFMR close to 65kts but those can't be trusted in shallow water near the coast.

[HurricaneBrain]

Center reforming NE again, this has been in the works for hours. The two other “centers” are dissipated now. New center moving NNE. Strengthening. I think we will see Hurricane Nick here soon.

[Hammy]

NE side much weaker now was not expecting that

Looks like it's started decoupling again within the last half hour, probably the current convective burst dying off. It remains to be seen if it can produce another and spin up just enough before landfall.

I am N. of Beaumont in Lumberton. Let us know what you see if you dare to go out. Be safe please.

NW Houston isn't getting much of anything. It actually feels like a Fall cool front outside.

Jason, center relo again closer to freeport? I am on 2004... .I drove down and driving back...screw this...I have chased before but rather not be in the NE quad exposed.

[ElectricStorm]

There's the FL winds I was expecting. They're just on the E side instead of NE. Almost a hurricane
