Tropical Major Hurricane Maria

This is a very good site with Maria information consolidated into one place, including the raw T numbers.

Shawn,
Good pick up!
FWIW if members want to browse, that and many other resources are in Wiki (that one is in http://flhurricane.com/ so it's not apparent without visiting and looking around), but I'd hope our folks take advantage of what FS and unnamed others have put in to Wiki ...

Well Irma had winds of 185 mph

I know, but I think I'd still have to put Wilma's two to four mile wide eye and sub890mb pressure over Irma.

Jose is actually not weakening, if anything he's actually intensified, recon finding an extrapolated MSLP ~ 971-972 hPa

Talk about everyone on the edge of their seat waiting on this vortex drop lol.

925.9 mb and 152 kt!!!!

 

[Jackstraw]

Jesus that can't be right

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

This defies all logic ...

In a season that's defied logic. Jose doesn't look good, but is still strong. Crazy.

 

[Shawn]

Here come the scary numbers.

 

[Shawn]

There are flags on the 152KT reading "05".

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

925.9 mb and 152 kt!!!!

Holy mackerel.

 

[Webberweather53]

Recon finding evidence for a cat 5 on the first pass...

Extrapolated MSLP ~ 925 hpa and uncontaminated winds of 140 knots (160 mph). Not surprising at all given the satellite presentation. Recon hasn't even hit the strongest quadrant of the storm (NE quad)

Insane.

Yeah the winds are flagged but holy crap

 

[Shawn]

139KT reading is clean though. That is still a Category 5 hurricane.

 

[ForsythSnow]

Yeah the winds are flagged but holy crap

Not the 139 knot one. That is unflagged. I want to see a drop though.

If I may ... I'd just like to see it stop ...

 

[Brent]

Yeah that definitely supports a 5 and that's just the first pass
