Tropical Hurricane Isaias

Well, I don't know what to say about this storm....other than it looks pretty bad right now. Convection is warming, low level center looks like its moving WNW....

My hunch is in about a few hours, convection will explode on the eastern side again once the center clears away from Abacos Island...
 
Sure looks pretty severely decoupled with hints of the MLC in the remaining convection and the LLC being puked out to the west. About as ugly as it gets right now if you ask me.

The head has been chopped off the snake.
 
Not sure I buy restrengthening at least in the short term although it is the Florida straits I also highly doubt it's 75 mph right now though lol

Im Sure some of y'all are excited and ready
 
Did I somehow miss the 1:00 PM run of the Euro? I didn't see the track from that run here.
 
So @Webberweather53 what's the Ukmet seeing that allows it to landfall over Florida and weaken to 1000mb and then go bombs away as it races north into Wilmington with a 978 pressure?
Deep layer shear becomes unidirectional and weaker than it is now, and the storm develops a nice poleward outflow channel into the mid latitude jet. Some intensification is possible if isaias manages to go back over water after Florida

It was nothing special, while it stays over Florida longer, and is further west, it somehow manages to remain further east over the Carolinas than 06z.
 
We will have our answer about these paths soon enough. If weakening continues certainly seems like significant interaction over Florida could be in the cards.
 
If it weakens enough could this sneak into the Gulf of Mexico?

Brad P catching a lot of hate on FB for calling the storm pathetic. Emergency managers that evacuated down East are trying to get in touch with his network to take that post down.
 
I was kidding but the general low numbers on that map is surprising, given the tendency for those wind maps to be way overdone.
That track would be a little problematic for us wind wise. I don't like the increasing forward speed #1 it cuts back on rain totals #2 if it is starting to come back together before landfall not a lot of time to spin down. I think an end game similar to Ernesto 06 maybe shifted 50 miles west is likely with the interaction with Fl then last second attempt to strengthen.
 
It's hilarious that they are calling this a Hurricane

If I went off of presentation alone I would only think this is an open wave. Hurricane is definitely generous right now. It put up such a good fight yesterday I was uncertain to what extent it would actually weaken compared to what most model guidance suggest. We certainly got the answer today.
