Tropical Hurricane Ian

[SD]

0z was pretty ugly in terms of overall precip here. That dry punch is going to shut off the rain fairly rapidly here, if the system comes in near CHS and tracks toward the upstate. We probably end up between 1-3".

I'm the biggest euro truther out there but boy does it stink low on qpf a lot

I think Kiawah is a really good call. It's been ground zero for nearly 36 hours.

Yep, also 2nd pic and his comments about some possible strengthening thanks to the right entrance region of a jet streak. Lot of dynamics at play

I know it's very disorganized this morning and difficult to pinpoint the center but the back edge to the cloud deck is halfway across Fl. This thing going to be over water before noon easily

Can see the heaviest rain has shifted over CHS to FLO to GSO now on Euro....past 4 runs

 

[KyloG]

3-6 inches in the dry slot? I’ll take it.

You must not have seen the 6z Euro...precip min in Wake. You know how it works around here.

Looks like the center is here and should be offshore soon. It's going to take a while though for all the kings horses and men to put humpty dumpty together

I'm having a difficult time finding any model that had it that far south along the Fl east coast

Lee County FL death toll in the "hundreds?" I know it's possible, but I sure hope that's one of those bad early reports we always hear. Absolutely devastating.

Ian will need to fire some storms on the center and really take advantage of that warm water.....still right now there is no organized core at all really, the chances he is able to put it back together seems rather low.....if he does continue his trend of being right of track however he will have more time over the gulf stream and water in general if he somehow ended up closer to the SC/NC border....even then he would only have roughly 24-30 hrs....

We've seen the gulf stream do some wild things before to storms though. Hugo was a Category 2 before it passed over.

Florida peninsula really crushed the structure of Ian. I highly doubt we see much strengthening before any potential 2nd landfall. Enjoy the wind and rain along the east coast....may be a while before there is any more.

 

[Metwannabe]

Looks like it's just east of Port St. John and almost over water (crude gif I know)

yep but it has to get organized first, if it does then the gulf stream might do it's thing but if it doesn't, gulf stream could be boiling wouldn't matter

Well sure but Hugo had a intact core....Ian has lost that core. On the vis loop the overall LLC looks ok, need to see Ian fire storms on the LLC and start rebuilding a eye.....crazy things can happen though so we just got to wait him out and see what he does,

I like short range models so far.. majority of models say 4-6 inches for our area and I expect globals to maybe lose some value in the qpf department since they aren’t as hi-res

Do you not think those totals are garbage?

 

[BullCityWx]

This thing is really speeding up on the modelling. Looks like most of the triangle should be clear by 10PM tomorrow night.

This is true… now I will point out that Bonnie in 1998 spent 24 hours on land in eastern NC emerging back over open water and then quickly regained hurricane strength within just a few hours… the redeveloped northern eye wall caused significant damage in Virginia Beach. I certainly think any model trying to build this back up to a strong cat 2 is overdoing it, but I wouldn’t be shocked to see this build back up to a 80-85mph cat 1 in the next 24 hours

Models are continuing to tick eastward

What’s with the one member curving all the way back out into the Atlantic ?
