ATL: IAN - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[eastcoastFL]

Noticing a lot of traffic jams starting to pile up in the Tampa area particularly on I-4 eastbound.

I can promise you that's not related to the hurricane. I-4 east near Celebration always clogs every single day.

What is unusual is that it's occurring at 2 PM EDT instead of the normal rush hour times

Maybe because schools are closed today. But yah it’s a traffic haven always.

Freaking Champions Gate, in traffic right here now as well

Does anyone have the steering maps handy and/or can post a link to find them? Thanks!! (Had posted this in models thread accidentally)

So if we get a stall offshore Tampa area due to the trough not picking it up and leaving it sitting there with no steering, what are successive days showing? I remember Elena (was living in Mobile at the time) was making a beeline towards Mobile, turned and headed toward Cedar Kay FL, then reversed and paralleled the Gulf Coast and finally made landfall on the Mississippi Gulf coast.

I was at Ft. Gorden in '85. When I saw Elena head towards Florida I took a pass back to Biloxi. Darned if it turned around on me. I ended up AWOL because I couldn't get back to GA.

Pinellas mandatory evac for Zone A at 6, tomorrow morning for zones B and C

Hillsborough started already. Pinellas is one day beyond on Hillsborough . Including letting teachers out and shutting down schools

Looks like two high-helicity hot towers firing side-by-side.
I think this is about the time the models were predicting a high-probability for RI.

Hey there you are. Been waiting for your CAPE analysis.

[GCANE]

High rain rate with these two towers. Close to being off scale.

High rain rate with these two towers. Close to being off scale.

Like how high? 3-5 inches per hour?

A big pool of 4500 CAPE just west of Tampa.
We'll see how it holds up.

It’s going to be a long wet week statewide

[Iceresistance]

When is the next low-level recon?

[GCANE]

Picking up a strong in feed of high TPW air from the EPAC across Panama.
This is about the widest infeed across Panama that I have seen from any Carib TC.

Its a GOES derived product. It doesn't have an absolute scale, just relative.

Speaking of that, another insanely high tower just blew up just to the NNW of the circulation.

The east tower is really going to town.

Kinda crazy how NHC's forecast doesn't even really a show a blip in the intensity from going over western Cuba (or maybe that's the only reason they don't bring it higher than 120kt ). I have to imagine it would at least pause the RI for the duration.
