Tropical Hurricane Dorian

[Philstorm91]

Visible satellite appears to show Dorian may be expanding his CDO now.

Would more cycles expand the wind field?

Yes, the net effect over time of eyewall replacement cycles is lateral expansion of a TC's warm core and wind field & EWRC frequency is partially a function of both internal TC structure and background relative humidity (among other things). Both of these parameters seem conducive imo for more frequent eyewall replacement cycles going forward but we'll see.

Latest recon data shows the pressure down to 967.9 mb.

 

[deltadog03]

Its definitely strengthening per recon it appears. Also Turning more on a WNW heading as well.

Here we go...

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Webb whats the site for this IR view?

 

[k0skinne]

Probably an ignorant question, but how does the strength of a hurricane impact the path it takes? I understand that steering currents play a major role ... areas of higher pressures as well as presence of fronts, etc. I suppose I am just wondering if a stronger cane would be more likely to bully its environment so to speak than a weaker hurricane? If so, would the models account for that? I hope what I am asking makes sense!

Thank you to the many members here that share their expertise ... I enjoy keeping up all year!

Stronger canes have a tendency to pull poleward

 

[KyloG]

Last 4 runs of the EPS.

When looking at this sure looks like Port St. Lucie to Melbourne looks to be the target. Also, seems like more members wanting to hug the coast as it moves north. Nothing good from this for FL/GA/SC coast.

Here we go...

I think we shall see the eye clearing out soon.

 

[ForsythSnow]

I can see this as 1 of 2 things:
Either it stays weaker than what models like the HWRF or HMON are showing, or it becomes a monster when closing in on Florida. Can't these storms change structure and slow their cycles? I feel like this is what happened back with Irma and maybe Maria. Just ERC after ERC until it became a monster. Only difference here is that the storm seems to not be as symmetrical, so it probably won't be a strong cat 5 at peak, but rather a strong 4 or low 5 at extreme worst.

 

[ForsythSnow]

Is it me or are we getting a lot less fishes these days?

Fish storms aren't memorable. Media outlets are just like "meh" to an offshore storm and many of them do nothing. We still get a lot of them. Just go look back at the hurricane archives.

 

[Ethan80963!]

Might see Dorians eye pretty soon

 

[RollTide18]

Storm looks like it’s growing in size

 

[ForsythSnow]

Storm looks like it’s growing in size

Definitely has. And is developing a proper eye finally. I'm not sure how long it'll last however.

 

[KyloG]

Thought it was interesting the slight similarities with Matthew.

Double the time out. Matthew only trended toward the coast. Probably going to mean Dorian goes all the way into the gulf if the trends are the same.

 

[ForsythSnow]

The eye is now opening for the first time on visible satellite.

 

[Metwannabe]

The eye is now opening for the first time on visible satellite.

And it has made up "lost ground" to the west, yesterday I mentioned 25N, 70W as a point of reference b/c ofc track and most modeling had it passing right over that point.... might actually go south of that now. Dang it, was hoping for slower which meant ots
