Waiting on this band to swing on through. Should be fun.

So I guess no upgrade at 5pm.....really dont understand why there is no plane in this storm with it literally right on the coast....and showing signs of deepening...

The evidence isn’t conclusive even though isaias looks better on radar.

This should be exciting!

Looks like a tornado watch is now up for parts of the coastal Carolinas.

This buoy here will be close to the eyewall most likely. Right now sustained at 47mph gusting to 63mph.

Is it me or does it look like two vorts competing here?

Two items, Isais is a strong contender for most lightning, at least in the ATL from a TC. Even the bands today over the Carolinas were active, and the show through the Bahamas and east of FL was epic. 2nd KLTX radar sucks, always has and in need of an upgrade or forest management, don’t know what to believe.

Pressure is dropping at that buoy referenced above, down to 999mb as of 4:40pm. Might get a decent idea of the pressure since it will be close to the center.

70mph gusts now, def picking up

 

[Rain Cold]

Getting hammered by a big tropical shower now. Even @SD Going to get smoked!

 

[snowlover91]

Buoy 41004 is down to 998mb and E winds gusting near 60mph still.

 

[Shaggy]

Simple fact is that even though he looks so much better than he did this morning we just need a plane in there to confirm his organization. He has 6 more hours that's not a lot of time.

Thank goodness for that buoy's location because otherwise the data gap is ridiculous.

Down to 997 at that buoy and gusting near 60mph still. I’m guessing the pressure is around 990 or so. Hopefully this buoy will give us a good idea.

 

[eyewall]

Holy hell at the shelf cloud that just came through. Drone shots to come.

 

[snowlover91]

Plotted that buoy in RadarScope. Based on that it looks like the center will pass over it!
