Looks like the plane is heading in for another pass soon. NE to SW. We’ll see if the intensification is continuing (it likely is).

I'm thinking it finds a pressure around 955 this pass.

Both microwave and radar indicate there is a thin rainband just outside of the eyewall (you can see the 2 layers). This kind of structure reminds me of Irma.

Absolutely no EWRC anywhere near occurring

It doesn’t look like it will top Ragasa at this point.

It could be close, Melissa has plenty of time still and the SSTs are nonlimiting. However the environment isn't perfect and Jamaica is close enough to maybe put a wrinkle on the inflow. I wouldn't confidently bet either way.

Ragasa's official peak was 140 kts / 905 hPa (though admittedly in post-season analysis that intensity may be increased based on buoy obs.). Melissa is forecast to at least match Ragasa's wind speed, and matching its central pressure isn't at all outside the realm of possibility (several GDM ensemble members show such a scenario). We've got a storm with a nearly perfect structure, no signs of an imminent EWRC, and 36 hours before landfall...I wouldn't count her out yet.

Down to 959.2mb extrap pressure, and 114kt FL winds blend with 104kt SFMR to support 105kts.

AF301's previous pass had 966.1 mb extrap, and the dropsonade supported ~967 mb. That's roughly a drop of 7 mb in 2.3 hours (3 mb/hr).

That drop supports 958 mb - a drop of 9 mb in about 1 1/2 hours.

I’m about to head to bed, I really hope that drop rate doesn’t continue for the next seven hours. She’s trying to make her name in the history books.

Did I miss something? The most recent eye pass that I could find from either aircraft was at 2:28z, which was 2 1/2 hours ago, not 1 1/2.
