ATL: HELENE - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[Slughitter3]

I want to get this saved. Helene is pushing back the front which had just cleared my area. Outflow is incredibly vigorous.

Southern side of the eyewall not looking as robust as an hour ago

Looks like some dry air in the SW quad

I seem to recall Levi Cowan saying in one of his recent videos on Helene that some shear out of the west/WSW will pick up and start to hit the backside of Helene in the final few hours before landfall. In his words, not enough and not long enough before landfall to weaken it. May be what we're starting to see.

Anyone have some good links to cameras showing the effects of the storm rolling in? Preferably where it’s worst.

Spectrum News and Bay News 9 on tv just showed Gulf blvd completely underwater. Check out their website and fb page. Shocking!

Didn't they go underwater for Idalia?
They had the streets blocked off down in Dunedin for the 4 ft elevation for that storm.

Private jet N610FP decided to be an adventurer and fly right through the eye of Cat 4 Helene just a bit ago. I wonder if this may have caused some of the delay for recon.

Doubtful at 45,000 feet.

They reported to have been caught in some crazy updraft that caused mechanical issues for a while then bolted out southwest.

Yes but not like this. Looked like a full river

For reference, this was Idalia last year.

Helene to cousin Idalia: "Hold my beer."

You’re right but radar can’t penetrate it. Didn’t look at satellite though

Second floater link with repositioned to the north.

Wouldn't be surprised if it makes one last intensification push before landfall.

SW side still looks good on satellite. I agree, I'm not sure the radar is able to penetrate it.

Please delete if humor is inappropriate even though related. Bit vanishes, I will know to never do it again.

Isn't 23mph of forward movement pretty fast for a storm? I thought they had trouble staying "stacked" if they went faster. Does that only apply to weaker storms?

The flight path doesn't support that:

Why does it feel like these storms ALWAYS come ashore when it's dark? The reason I say that is that every time I end up staying up all night to watch (and often regretting it). At least this time it won't be like 2am.

live links for Josh or any other chaser? Thanks!

Hurricane warning up into Atlanta

Josh Morgerman left Panacea which is SSW of Tallahassee, going east, he should had put more trust on the GFS!

It was Ryan’s recon guy who said it. Perhaps it was southeast. Reilly said they’re heading back in.

Duke reporting over 141,000 with their power out, I'm amazed you still have power out on the beach?
