What Catagory do you think Ivan will be at Landfall?

#1 Postby rdcrds » Mon Sep 13, 2004 1:22 pm

From all the things i read and tracks i see and also dats from models if Ivan goes to the Florida Panhandle and hits there i think it will be a low CAT 3 but most likely a strong 2.I do NOT see any way for it to stay a 4 at landfall or even a strong 3 due to shear and also colder water temps.

So all those who sy it will be a 4 i think you need to go back and read the data.

I don't think the shear will be that strong. With the water above 82 to 84 degrees. I say cat4 with winds of around 135 mph...

So are you saying he'll pull a Frances...??

Could happen...


I still think they're overdoing the shear a bit but we'll see in the next 3 days...

I dont see where you get that reasoning. Water temps are very warm, and NHC predicts very little shear. Bastardi predicts it will be a 4, as am I. I see little reason for it to be a 2.

The NHC actually is predicting some solid shear developing....


I still think around 135 mph, same as Hugo was...

I am tellig you that the water temps are much colder and the warm water temps you are talking about don't go down that deep.Plus the fact they are talking about a slow track when it gets near the coast i see it doing like Francis in a way and maybe even stall some when it gets there.On my local news they have it at 110 MPH when it hits the east part of Florida.

NHC was predicting a Miami to Tampa landfall, Then Tampa to Fla Panhandel landfall to just FL Panhandel, now they as far West as NO LA.

So I don't think the NHC knows just how strong Ivan could be.

I don't put much faith in the NHC after the storms this season.First they said Florida landfall,kept insisting Ivan would cross overJamaica and Cuba.You should have heard Drudge last night raking Max Mayfield,and the NHC over the coals. Said its time we had alternatives to the NHC for hurricane tracking.

Cat 3-cat 4

The Gulf is very warm though... :grr:

I can see this storm being the most devastating since at least Andrew.
