Tropical Hurricane Ian

[PEA_RIDGE]

EYEWALL IS JUST ABOUT CLEAR PER WATER VAPOR SAT. IF THAT HAPPENS I SEE 150MPH

 

[Arcc]

Sheesh. That may be the strongest eyewall I’ve ever seen on a live storm radar. Huge area of 50k plus tops with occasional 57k+ in the SW wall.

EF3 tornado wind speeds 136-165 mph.

Btw 6z GFS 2nd landfall Ga/SC border formidable Cat 1

UK hanging on to Charleston.....considering it's performance so far, I would bet on it.
HMON and Nam are still with Charleston as they have been for 2 days.

This thing is gonna scare cat 5 to death. It may already be there.

 

[Arcc]

You know looking at IR and radar, are we about to see the first time(at least to my knowledge) landfall of a annular hurricane.?I don’t know how you get much closer, the eyewall is at least 1/3 of the storm and the outer bands have decreased substantially from last night.

 

[HDGator]

Recon just measured 160 kt flight level and 135 kt surface winds in west eyewall.

 

[Arcc]

No chance at a ERC with that demon wall either.

Yeah that is the most complete eyewall I’ve ever seen on a storm. I said 150 mph at landfall but that might be conservative at this point.

Not surprised Ian keeps getting stronger up to landfall. I said from the beginning this is what we have seen with hurricanes the past few years, especially in the Gulf. I think it's the new norm with hurricanes in our current climate. I think it could keep a lot of its strength after it crosses FL, too, depending on how fast it is moving.

 

[BHS1975]

This will grind slowly ashore too.

Wonder if the run to CAT 5 is almost complete ?.

Cat 5 for sure.. one for the history books… I sure hope those people saw Michael and Katrina and got the heck out long ago!!!

 

[EMTime]

I wonder what the storm surge will now be in the worst areas?
It Was 12, 15 possible now with the strengthening?
