Tropical Hurricane Ida

Some hot towers going up on the North side of the LLC.

Wrapping around NW and W Side

Now convection is wrapping around the SE side of the Storm. Cuban radar shows convection popping on East and West side of the eye-wall. Looks like vorts are stacked on Satellite.

I think today is a very important day for setting up for landfall. NHC and models "bend" this back more NW starting later this am.

Not the ugliest storm ever but doesnt look to be off to the races yet, still got some work to do structurally....but its getting there. Recon will shed some light on the internal structure.
 
Recon about to arrive in the storm. Should be some interesting passes over the course of the morning as it's arriving just as Ida is paused to strengthen based on satellite.
 
Dropsonde measured a 987Mb SFPR. A second Dropsonde measured 94MPH winds just above surface, and 81MPH surface winds out of the SW. Thought the pressure would be lower at this point.

The storm has been slow to recover from its passes over land overnight. But, it has looked markedly better on satellite over the past few hours.

Agreed. Also seemed like the storm was having trouble fanning out to the south. Didn't really see much LL inflow and UL outflow.

Yep. But man, it's really getting it together this AM. Each frame looks more impressive than the last. I'll be shocked if there isn't some impressive pressure falls with each recon center punch.

Yeah this new band wraps the center and persist then she will undergo RI with that core she built.

I'd literally take a three hour nap if they measured the same readings. It actually looks like Recon is going to find some decent winds on the NE side this time around. They're measuring 76 Knot flight level winds a ways from the COC.

Second Recon plane has found a 984Mb pressure, so it looks like this thing is quickly ramping up.

Huh. So recon reporting an elliptical eye. So satellite imagery isn't as strange as I thought.

A lot of nerds are going to be severely disappointed if this thing doesn’t RI! They almost seem disappointed it’s not a Cat 4 already! Geez
The double eyewall look, is not conducive for a monster , intense storm . It seems these have happened a few times in the last few years and they seem to keep the storm from reaching its max potential
