Tropical Hurricane Ian

brick i love you but i couldn't disagree more man. i think that there's an inflated feeling of uncertainty from both the variety of products, the reliance on ensembles and more 18z and 6z runs which increase the serialization of tracking these things. when i was in high school tracking irene i did not have tropical tidbits or any great resources like that; outside of official forecasts i had the gfs via the university of wyoming website, i had jeff masters wunderblog comment section and i had wxrisk on facebook, that was my diet. if i were in that position now i would have a vastly superior diet of weather consumption. there likely were greater forecasting battles, they just werent visible to us. as far as forecast quality i think it gets better every year; i think the NHC has been absolutely stellar in this storm in particular, that track had barely budged and the intensity forecast has held firm.

Way off topic but thanks for making us all feel even older!

964 mb and 21 kt in the dropsonde which equals 962 mb..
 
If a king tide starts at only 6.5 feet in Charleston and 9 foot is major flooding, the high tide from Tuesday until Saturday is right at six feet. You get a three or four foot storm surge and downtown Charleston is a soup bowl.

Providing these easterly solutions continue to mount, that’s gonna be a big deal.

The trough is slightly deeper over the east coast, but the key difference is speed of Ian. This run the storm moves slightly faster and equals a big jump east.

so then that begs the question how fast is he moving and is he ahead of modeling and if so by how much. He has been in the eastern part of his cone for most of the day

wouldnt slightly faster mean a slight jump ? Why would there be a big jump, if its only slightly faster ?
