ATL: FIONA - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[chaser1]

Small pin-hole eye becoming increasingly evident. My take on it's immediate motion is nearly "nill". Combination of a bit weaker steering and further deepening (970's?). I think we will soon see a bit of a NW lurch within the next couple hours as a result of the much deeper west side convection rotating around to the south and then its east quad.

982mb drop at 19 and NW from last fix (13).

[chaser1]

Any low pressure wagers prior to D.R. landfall? I think i'll go with 972 mb.

(Just once, i'd love to see the Bing bot or Google adsence bot chime in )

How long's the plane out there? This might've been the last pass until landfall.

Not sure I agree on the pinhole eye, it looks to be about 15 miles wide on radar, but the rest I agree with. The last 45 min or so it looks entirely stationary to me. Wobble watching at its finest

Looks like they’re getting ready for another pass. This will probably be their last of the mission.

Eye clearing out?

Even if it is going to turn northwestward I suspect that the DR will have a far larger impact on intensity then Puerto rico did and be inland probably for at least 12 hours.

I can't believe this is moving at 10 mph. It seems as though it's almost stationary.

Eye drop 980/8, supports 979-980, continues to gradually fall

With landfall farther south in the Dominican Republic, it could also throw off the future forecast. It will likely spend more time over land and have more time to weaken, especially if it interacts with the tall mountains. A weaker Fiona would likely go farther west for a while too.

980mb on the last drop, looks like it has also completed its turn and will end up landfalling close to or south of Cap Cana
