Tropical Hurricane Idalia

[NCHighCountryWX]

Dry air ingestion on east side. Still catastrophic

 

[NCSNOW]

The NC Snow official call is Taylor County Fliorida landfall 948mb. Big surge that area as its in the funneld shepe big ben area. Lets hope my intensity is wrong.

Bump: My call from Sunday morning , Taylor County landfall at 948mb was just about spot on. Gonna miss the pressure by about 6-7mb.

There are a ton of RV parks and campgrounds right where the eye is coming in.

Perry Airport at 6:15 was 22 gusting to 33 only 40 miles from the center...in the NE quad no less, I imagine it's gonna go downhill quickly.

Got relatives with Campers year round on a parcel of owned land down there. They've all pulled em out. Thats Low. Low ground in that area, why you've never seen it get really developed.

Definitely well timed… unfortunately for inland impacts this will increase the wind field and bring higher gusts over a wider area

...EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CATEGORY 3 HURRICANE IDALIA MAKES LANDFALL
IN THE FLORIDA BIG BEND...
...745 AM POSITION UPDATE...

NOAA Doppler radar imagery indicate that the eye of Idalia made
landfall along the coast of the Florida Big Bend near Keaton Beach
around 745 AM EDT (1145 UTC). Data from an Air Force Reserve
Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that Idalia's maximum sustained
winds were near 125 mph (205 km/h). The latest minimum pressure
central pressure estimated from reconnaissance data is 949 mb (28.02
inches).

Within the past hour, a C-MAN station at Keaton Beach, Florida,
measured sustained winds of 61 mph (98 km/h), with a gust to 77 mph
(124 km/h). A Florida Coastal Monitoring Program tower located
southwest of Hampton Springs, Florida, recently reported a wind gust
of 68 mph (109 km/h).

Water levels along the coast of the Florida Big Bend are rising
rapidly. A NOAA National Ocean Service tide gauge at Cedar Key,
Florida, recently reported a water level of 5.9 feet above mean
higher high water, which is an approximation of inundation in that
area.
