Phil Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Looks like WNW.Yeah, latest fix is W/NW. What happens after sunset/during diurnal maximum is key. If convection fires close to the center, then rapid-intensification and core contraction is very possible. If it fires in the outer eyewall or farther away from the center, then the windfield will expand and the pressure will drop but max winds might not increase much. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Hmm..extrapolated pressure down to 933mb already, which is a drop of 9mb in 2hrs. Should it continue, these models showing drops of 20-30mb over 6hrs might not be too far off.

stuffradio Posted September 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 It's still raining and 57F here. My temperature actually dropped. Max temp at 59 so far today. I'm at at least .48" of rain so far today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawniganLake Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Filtered sun and 70 here... better than I expected today.Over a .25" of rain and still 56 here. We did need the rain though. Hopefully the interior gets some too. We are still evacuated from our cabin up there. It's not long until freezing becomes a concern as we haven't winterized it.

epiceast Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 They are comparing Irma to Charley in 2004. And we all know how awesome the winter of 2004-05 was here. The Summit at Snoqualmie was opened for maybe 2 weeks and all season pass holders got free passes for the next season. We built our house over that winter and I remember many warm, sunny days that winter monitoring the progress. It wae delightful.

That would be awesome for Florida and a massive blow to the forecasting community.I think they've done a pretty piss poor job so far. Anyone with internet access could have done as good a job or better. They seemed ignorant to the land interaction with Cuba and inevitable weakening. They also seemed to ignore the progged strengthening leading up to landfall until late yesterday. 1 Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.

Phil Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Irma still tracking WNW...It appears as if it will miss Florida!The turn N/NW has consistently been modeled to occur between 23z and 03z, by both the 12z EPS and the majority of the higher resolution/mesoscale guidance. I would be surprised if it had already occurred. I'm thinking it'll start between 8-9pm.

TT-SEA Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Got the lawn mowed... started out with filtered sunshine and warmth but ended up being drenched. The clouds have steadily lowered and now its actually raining pretty good.

Phil Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Looks like Irma has ground to halt now.Yeah, the pull N/NW is beginning now. Irma's central pressures are way down (~930mb), but winds are still just 120mph. For context, last night she was 931mb with 160mph winds. Once the concentric eyewalls consolidate, winds are going to respond in a hurry. A 930mb central pressure is something you'd expect to see in a 150mph storm, not a 120mph one.

wx_statman Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Pretty interesting two-day heatwave ended today in 1963, in which the PDX-Vancouver corridor appears to have been strangely avoided. PDX only managed 89-89 on the 8th & 9th (with 87-88 at Vancouver), but surrounding readings were much more impressive: 98-98 at Bonneville Dam, 98-94 at Hillsboro, and 96-95 at Salem. Kind of a head-scratcher since winds were out of the west on both days. Strong east winds would have been the obvious culprit to suppress maximums in September, but this was not the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
