Re: ATL: MILTON - Hurricane - Discussion
A few hours ago, I was thinking Milton would be ahead of schedule as a strong category two tomorrow morning. Now I'm thinking he could well be a strong category three by then...

I'm certainly not experienced enough to know for sure, but it would appear that he is beginning to clear out his eye.
I'm a bit puzzled. The satellite image would seem to suggest that, and I've seen at least a couple of posts from professional meteorologists on twitter etc. concurring with that interpretation, but the latest VDM reported no eyewall, closed or otherwise, and recon has yet to report the kind of decline in central pressure you'd expect to come along with a clearing eye. Probably we'll have a better understanding of what's going on with Milton within the next hour or so, though. I can't imagine you get a change in satellite presentation like that without some corresponding change in intensity.

Oh G_D, that's never a good comparison. Tbh if the outflow starts to take on that 360 degree "feathered" or buzzsaw look, I'd fully agree!

Looks like that ESE movement is starting and will be easier to track with an eye.

I was about to say someone is bound to point out that weakness in its northeast quadrant (guess it’s me), but a new tower just popped up. As has been said many times, some warming of convection is normal when an eye is carving out, and it seems like all systems go at this point.

You beat me to it! As stated though, some warming/weakness during this stage of intensification is not uncommon, and likely isn't indicative of true disruption or weakening at the present.

Hey Steve
Been a while hope all is well. NO not so much concern getting out of the Keys tomorrow, more concerned with water in my garage. Will be a good 10 days before I can get back and flush it with fresh water, salt water sitting not a good thing.

Starting to lightning in the eye wall, which IIRC, is an indication of RI.

Re: ATL: MILTON - Hurricane - Discussion
Crazy indeed, lets hope that this isn't a "Reverse Andrew"
Definitely think it's going to bomb into a Cat 5 by later tomorrow or Tuesday unless some unforeseen conditions limit it somehow.

Re: ATL: MILTON - Hurricane - Discussion
Someone mentioned this earlier, but -- why did the most recent VDM (admittedly from 1.5-2 hours ago) report no eyewall at all, not even an open one, despite the recent satellite appearance that Milton is clearing out the eye? Even at the time when this pass was made, the eye was very apparent.

Re: ATL: MILTON - Hurricane - Discussion
I'm not sure it's ready to pop a real eye yet. Still only 65 knot flight level winds and some asymmetries in the North. Another 6-12 hours IMO and it'll clear out, I could definitely be wrong though.

Has anyone seen a recent SHIPS forecast or know where to find one? Also is there a SLOSH model available to te public? Stay safe Floridians.

Re: ATL: MILTON - Hurricane - Discussion
I'm not sure if there was some dry air eroding the northern half of the CDO during this loop or just convection waning, but the recent bursts should fence that off.

A more recent VDM just came in with a closed, ragged eyewall:

Noticed the ragged northern semicircle too. That blob to the east that was predicted has started and may be along for the ride for Milton's Journey across the GOM!
