Re: ATL: IAN - Hurricane - Discussion
Shear is negligible thru 500mb.
There is a 35 to 40 knot jet at 300mb in the NE GoM, just north and west of Tampa

The person who first said it at the news conference was Florida's Emergency Management Director. He said that the NHC had told him near Venice. When he finished the governor ask him about it again and it was stated that it will be in the NHC's 11am forecast.
I watched the entire conference, it was more than the governor speaking, and it was very clear that both the FEM director and the governor have been in close contact with the NHC. They both gave the usual mentions of forecast uncertainty and it could/will affect a large area of the state.

I keep seeing this heading more NNE. Recon fixes are confirming this

i am here all the time but maybe it would be helpful to those here for the first time, what that means and what it means to storm development

Just like Jon Snow..."I know nothing" except what I know, and most of what I know is gathered by the fine people of the NHC

Re: ATL: IAN - Hurricane - Discussion
They are just putting out the best data available. TVCN consensus model is southern Sarasota County and with possible east shifts it could come in further south. There's currently 1 Million+ in the Ft. Myers/Naples metro not taking this storm seriously and it is very possible if it comes in on the south track the shear may not weaken it in time and it comes in at a Cat 4. I believe NHC will move the track south and east at 11AM from looking at the data.

Source it or it did not happen. I doubt the NHC gave an exact landfall location.

Re: ATL: IAN - Hurricane - Discussion
Wobble watching isn't a productive use of time. People were talking about Isle of Youth landfall only last night, so it may well correct west again.

Hitting the water with a vengeance.
Near 60mm/hr rain rate.
High probability goes to a Cat 4.

I'm now very concerned about RI until landfall. I thought it was highly unlikely, but now that Ian's track has shifted further east and it didn't take much of a hit from its Cuba landfall, it has become a very real possibility. It might not get nearly as much shear with this track as it would've if it went north of Tampa towards the panhandle. Also, SSTs/MPI are nuclear in Ian's path. Let's hope that shear kicks in sooner than later.

This unfortunately does not appear to be the case because the wind shear appears to be favorable directionally.
Unless I'm mistaken, Wxman57 discussed the shear that will affect Ian, and weaken it somewhat upon its approach to land...this is an excerpt from the 5am NHC discussion..."By 24
to 36 hours, increasing southwesterly vertical wind shear and drier
mid-level air are likely to result in some gradual weakening." By favorable wind shear, do you mean favorable because it will weaken Ian somewhat?....Just to be clear Ice, thanks!

Hopefully the trough will get that 300mb jet well over Tampa before landfall.

With how fast pressure was rising over land, Ian might have actually been in the lower 940s as at least a high-end Cat 3, possibly Cat 4, at Cuba landfall.
That would be insane as it was "only" 90 kts at 11pm, and recon supported 95 kts at ~12am. Explosive intensification just before landfall likely happened.

Re: ATL: IAN - Hurricane - Discussion
Down the rode I think we could see more problems for Florida east coast and potentially the southeast coast of US especially if the storm moves into the Atlantic.
