ATL: MILTON - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[nascarfan999]

Does Florida have a Contraflow plan like Louisiana does? Where all lanes of the interstates flow North? I'm seeing posts all over of the interstates at almost a standstill

Florida does not use contraflow, but they are using the shoulders of the outbound interstates as additional lanes on I-4 and I-75

This is what everyone though Eta would be.

That's almost T8.0. I think Wilma might be scared right now?

[HurricaneBrain]

What do I win? Seriously though, such an unbelievable number and it will most likely go lower.

899

Place your bets everyone, what will recon find?

I’m going with the very lowest 900s with evidence of an outer eyewall.

Half of the storm is dark pink on the IR brightness temp satellite (-90c) so that definitely cannot be good... does that mean its still going under rapid intensification?
real western pacific type stuff going on right now

[got ants?]

Phenomenal phenomenon in the making. Funny thing is, it's giving me a sick feeling, not giddy at all.

I'm fair to call myself safe being in Hollywood Florida, but my heart aches for those in his path..

What is that blob hanging out next NE of Milton all day?

[HurricaneBrain]

Reminds me of when Typhoon Haiyan when it went nuclear.

Totally Insane!

[HurricaneBelle]

What is that blob hanging out next NE of Milton all day?

It was to his E and SE earlier, it seems to be rotating around and will be absorbed eventually.

[HurricaneRyan]

This thing is still bombing. I wouldn't be shocked to see this get down near Gilbert pressure in the next few hours.

Or Patricia's windspeed.

Is it something they can implement on the fly??? Because I believe more people will evacuate this storm, than has ever in Florida's history. I hate to think of so many stuck on the interstates

AVN Loop for Old Time's Sake:

Black ring encircled! Sub-900mb club

OMG! Where on earth (or the Internet) did you find this?! I've driven myself batty trying to locate these old-school GOES floater IR products (AVN, RBTOP, etc) ever since the links disappeared from the NOAA site (although, the TT IR products have grown on me) without success. I believe this is the page I used to find them on but now it seems to only have them for the Himawari-8 satellite which only covers the WPAC.

If you can point me to a link where these still can be found...

[Exalt]

Unbelievable. Wow. This is some incredible stuff no one was predicting, and it could still strengthen

Do we even see this dropping below Cat 5 at this point? The eye won't pass over the Yucatan, and are conditions near FL that bad for development/stability?

Shear is going to significantly increase in the last 12-24 hours before Florida. Combine that with an interaction with a trough, and it should weaken rapidly before landfall.

But how rapid is rapid when this thing could be top 5 on record by the time it gets to that point is what I'm worried about, especially with the southern dip :\

[Hypercane_Kyle]

Eye is making some violent oscillating loops; we saw that during Wilma as well, right before an EWRC.

Anyone know what the pressure of Camille was in 1969 (I think that was the year)

Would be careful if there's an EWRC though

900mb

900 mb was the lowest (at MS landfall).

I believe their thinking is that by using the shoulders to give 1-2 more lanes of traffic, they accomplish the same traffic volume as contraflow would but do so with needing fewer resources tied up closing ramps and allows for resources to still get inbound toward the affected areas as needed.
