Tropical Hurricane Idalia

Who came up with this name? seriously, never heard of it and I have many Amigas/Amigos.
They have retired a lot of I names, it’s getting dudficult to come up with ‘l’ names
 
Kinda pointless to speak pressures based on models like the NAM but 920s showing up early on per 3KM. Stronger storm will pull East one would think.

edit: 914mb

12K already coming in east of 12Z. 0Z, 6Z, 12Z, and now 18Z have all stepped east, in terms of landfall.
Another I’m noticing is that it’s moving a bit faster over land… at least through hour 30 which is all I’ve got up to now. It’s about 30-40 miles further NE at 0z Thursday than it was on the last run. So that tells me, the more it slows down after landfall, the further inland in SC it should be. Either way, I doubt expect the center to be more than 35-40 miles inland in SC.
 
It's moving from South to North so thats why I was wondering.
Yes… it definitely looks like a PRE developing. None of the models have really picked up on it which is fairly typical. It’ll be interesting to see how far north it moves… it’s got plenty of juicy air ahead of it.

Looking the 12z Euro and the 18z NAM3k are actually pretty much in lock step with each other through hour 30 in terms of both track and speed. At that time the 3kNAM really starts to slow down the speed as the trough begins to pull away and the Euro keeps it the speed up not slowing until it gets off shore. So the NAM brings center up slowly through SC about 30 miles or so inland to about Florence while the Euro keeps the center on shore but closer to the coast and exits around Myrtle Beach.

Question for knowledge and not a statement. If they moved the track west and the ridge to the east of Florida is stronger and the trough is pulling out faster how is the track pretty much the same with a westward update?

This actually looks pretty good considering the trends in the modeling the last 18 hours and looks weighted to the latest guidance. They have obviously adjusted the landfall point to further north up the coast and made the adjustments to the storm surge forecasts.
 
964 mb per latest NOAA recon which corresponds to 969 mb. Also 103 kt flight level winds and 84 kt SFMR winds.
