Confirmed. Also speed up to 8 again.
My thoughts on the current steering. Map is the latest one attm
HMON pretty far south still, south of the 27N line, I’m not really taking these runs serious nomore, but just looking at them lol
just posted friends
it started out at 911mb....it moves like W...then WNW then NW then back SW? HR 45
Wow.
Thanks, Chris. It is going to be a race and just so the readers are clear on this, the latest available, the 12Z you posted, is already 5 hours old.

I have never seen lightning completely around the eye of a hurricane before. Just insane.

Recon confirms Dorian moved due west between the last 2 passes instead of just north of west.
very true...site is a little slower to update, but will when it is. I think biggest thing is it actually looks to be maintaining its speed right now. Anyone have a close up view of model plots??

Related to this, does anyone have a link they will share to closeup satellite loops with latitude and longitude lines? I looked in our wiki and also I've been googling like crazy and can't find any. Thanks in advance.
I was just given this by someone:
https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?par...ecked=latlon-map-glm_flash&colorbar=undefined
Just a little mind bender, if Dorian took the track left of PR and as a result formed more slowly, it would likely be bearing down on southern FL right now at full strength.
thank you....someone posted close up of models many pages back. lol
