Tropical Major Hurricane Milton

25N/85W will be a good checkpoint. NHC track has it going almost directly over top those coordinates. So in a few hours we’ll be able to tell if it’s still running SE of the forecast IMG_0597.jpegIMG_0596.png

Purple dot new coordinates.

To interpret the numbers, the right column is pressure; the middle line shows the lowest pressure, the center; then using the coordinates to the left of it.


Edit: Recon satellite image just updated. The lowest pressure for this pass is above.

Edit: In the 17 minutes since I posted this, the green eye wall solidified, and now has gained yellow in the upper half of the ring.

That center of lightning closer to land, I wonder whether it will continue all the way to shore, and to where.

Milton looks like a dome.

Looking better for Tampa but now Port Charlotte may be under the massive surge gun

4 am NHC

"The NHC track forecast is nudged a
little to the north of the previous one to be in better agreement
with the latest models. It should be noted that this forecast is
based on the model fields, not the interpolated models which
appear to be too far south. Users are urged not to focus on the
exact landfall point as the average error at 24 hours is about 40
miles."
 
Shear definitely effecting it this morning, honestly a little early from what I looked at last night. Now the million dollar question is how much weakening occurs and how much does it make a difference.
 
Euro all over Tampa, 06z ICON all over Tampa and 06z GFS maybe just a smidge south of Tampa (center) but eyewall still hits them hard. All these models did better with Helene track, makes sense track shifted north.
 
I know some folks who live in Florida and they didn't evacuate. Some of them are just east of Tampa in Plant City. I don't understand why people are so stubborn. It's not like staying is going to prevent anything bad from happening to your home.
 
Really feeling the shear now, still powerful storm but getting lopsided quick. If any dry air can penetrate it could see rapid weakening, could still be a Cat 4 at LF too, but hopeful it can weaken quickly on approach
