Yeah, NOAA recons extrap pressure readings from h70 are always 2-4mb lower than actual.

Agree. Euro ensembles picked up on this overnight. As did that ibm model mentioned on page #42 in the models thread. A stronger storm is gonna pull right

Re: ATL: IDALIA - Hurricane - Discussion
Hurricane force winds only extend 15 miles from the center. I imagine those pressure drops will eventually expand the wind field.

Re: ATL: IDALIA - Hurricane - Discussion
Big tell will be when the NNE/NE turn begins. NHC says 005 heading at 8am ET, let’s see what the 11am says. Looking at radar, seems the general GOM showers are heading N to even just W of N.

Bene looking at the eye from radar in Key West and it looks like it's eye wall is reforming in to a smaller size.

I see a more meaningful eastward drift the last couple hours. All night it chugged north just inside the 85W line.

If this continues east of the cone all the way to land fall then entire Tampa Bay region could be in for a surprise.

This is something we will need to watch for. That mesovort traveling up the east side of the eyewall may be yanking it a bit east. With this, at least currently, being somewhat lopsided to the east, we could see this phenomenon continue in the short term. Everyone in the hurricane warning should stay on guard for reasons like this.

Re: ATL: IDALIA - Hurricane - Discussion
Recon is already reporting 65kt flt lvl winds and they are a ways from the center heading in that direction

Not much, about 15 miles.
As long as it keeps moving N it shouldn’t be too much of a factor for mid-coast. If it makes NNE turn quicker than forecast, then those 15 miles can make a big difference.
its off track to the east, looks lik emore than a wobble and this is what we have been talking about for days doe to the angle of approach, big track changes are possible with just a degree off track early on, its like compounding interest, it grows over time, give it a few more hours to see if it corrects
I hadn’t thought to put it that way, but it’s a great analogy! Due to the angle of the coastline and the movement of Idalia, small wobbles now can definitely have bigger impacts down the road

Re: ATL: IDALIA - Hurricane - Discussion
Using radar loops it looks pretty much due North to me. Maybe a slight east jog but I'm not convinced it wasn't just a wobble yet. It's gonna wobble around a bit while it's getting its core together. A long ways to go but I don't see this becoming significantly east of the NHCs track.
Also, never use satellite to determine track when you have radar available. It can be very misleading. And look at overall motion over an extended period not every wobble.
I remember in 2020 NHC had hurricane Isaias coming in around the SC/NC border. All you saw on twitter was these wobble watchers proclaiming it was going to go way east potentially to Jacksonville NC. Well, that didn't happen. This is obviously a completely different situation just saying the NHC is the best in the game always go with them first.
This is just my opinion though.

First light over Idalia. Looks like it is exerting its control all over the gulf now pulling in air, you can see band of clouds been sucked in.
