Tropical Major Hurricane Irma (Part 1)

I used weather.gov and clicked on my region, then my location, then scrolled to the bottom under Additional Resources and clicked the chart.

Thanks, but I see no "Additional Resources" on my location ...

She spends enough time over Cuba to weaken around 10MB or so before FL approach. Gains some back on the way.

see if you see HOURLY WEATHER GRAPH or something like it

 

[Brick Tamland]

It just keeps going west. I am starting to wonder if it will miss Florida and get into the Gulf. And then who knows what after that.

I think I know what.

On Jacksonville page it's under hourly forecast

Cleveland TN Gust to over 35 mph

If that doesn't help, here it is for just North of Gainesville.

 

[deltadog03]

7 hours of gusts up to 50 here now per FFC.

I wonder what they have for Macon

 

[accu35]

I swear, that storm could circle the whole gulf coast and somehow still ends up in south FL.

Can you post one for us?

Posted one for my area which should be the same for Dawsonville further back a few posts.

Landfall along northeast Cuba coast.

I don't expect Irma's interaction with Cuba to have a substantial effect on her. The part of Cuba that her inner structure will likely pass over is some of the flatest on the island. She's surrounded by some of the warmest SSTs on the entire planet. We saw how she burped out the dry air from earlier. She's too big, and her inflow is too massive to have any major impact on her strength. A drop of 5-15mb at most, and when she pulls back to be fully over the bath water SSTs she is going to regain all of what she lost and then some.

Here's a good terrain map of Cuba showing elevation in meters. Also, per the Cuban radar it doesn't appear that she moved South. It just looks like that way on satellite because of the shape of the island. She's moving west and very close to the NHC forecast points.

Not sure where you are seeing that. Can you post a source?

someone may be scrambling to revise the forthcoming 11:00 PM update, in that event ...
Oh Oh

 

[Brick Tamland]

Yeah, it's moving SW in the last frame.

Yeah that SW movement will have her getting back in water quicker to her south

 

[MBell]

I'm curious to see if she maintains that movement. What a weird storm.

I can't imagine her doing it for too long, but if she does get over those waters... a big explosion is going. All the strongest storms in this part of the world have been at their worst around there .

Like on the south side of the island? LOL

 

[Tarheel1]

Damn!
I think she's about to start WNW again soon. Like a ricochet off of Cuba

 

[ForsythSnow]

Wow, she is definitely still a monster.

 

[Brent]

That's only 800 or so feet above the surface

More or less what the forecast called for...

 

[Jackstraw]

Thats what some of the Sonde drops were looking like just East of the islands.

 

[Arcc]

If Irma does bounce of Cuba, it may have done about the best thing possible for the storm. No doubt friction has tightened up the eye and probably the windfield as well.

 

[VegasEagle]

Could Cuba be making it turn wsw due to that side being dragging the land? That is what I believe is happening?

 

[Stormlover]

500, or even 450

She walking along the Cuban beaches like she owns it

 

[Shawn]

Ugh @ the NAM with the slower movement and more wind, rain over into SC.

 

[Jackstraw]

500, or even 450

Are you guys estimating that from the central pressure or from the 945mb surface pressure on that drop?

don't eat the brown acid ...

 

[stormcentral]

Irmas outer rain bands approaching FL Conditons will deteriorate on saturday.

Nevermind i was looking at the completely wrong drop lol

 

[RollTide18]

I wonder much Irma will weaken before going back over water
