Tropical Hurricane Isaias

Literally went to another tab for a bit and came back to see that this is apparently an 80mph hurricane now. In the span of an hour we already exceeded the maximum intensity forecast...

To be fair the 11pm was a copy paste lol
 
FWIW the para GFS has been consistently showing this getting into the 960-970s at peak strength.

Sure the Ukie had a high end Cat 2 maybe Cat 3 into NC last night.....but the consensus was TS maybe weak cane at best....the current ICON hasa 1005mb low over Washington NC.....GFS looks like a solid IBX hit....MHX to Nags Head...going to be a long 3.5 days but looks like a daytime hit WOOOHOOOO I hate them at night....also not kidding around sucker is scooting

Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 80 mph (130 km/h)
with higher gusts. Little change in strength is forecast during
the next 48 hours.

Yeah ok NHC they only strengthen it 5 mph lol

Pressure is still high probably would see it use this energy to grow the core and that probably would keep it fairly steady unless it stays a extremely small storm which seems unlikely.....still saying stuff like little change is strength is forecast just sets them up for eating those words if its 120 mph by 11 am tomorrow.
 
Brad P was noting how dang hot it is in the Gulf Stream right now. Mid to Upper 80's. Definitely keeping a close eye on this as we head into the weekend.
 
Ukmet is likely a major into NC 947 mb and then it basically hits NJ

Euro barely not hitting FL pretty much the same been closer to FL than the GFS and Ukmetecmwf_z500_mslp_watl_4.png
 
I love watching these things develop, the core is warming and expanding and this allows the wind field to expand and capitalize on the pressure drops.....then the process will repeat, crazy that the Euro/Icon have weaker TS and the HMON/Ukie Cat 3 runs, the GFS para inched back west with pressures in the 960's......being I have skin in the game those difference matter a wee little bit.....

Definitely expanding wind field looking for Carolina landfall possible SC from 0Z Euro.
 
5am NHC cone seems to imply a 80 mph Cat 1 landfall over the general MHX area sometime around 2pm Monday afternoon
 
After models overnight it’s safe to say the shift west along the coast is not done yet.

I dunno the models that run closer to the coast especially FL to lower SC all run weak TS's, the ens and models that run deeper stronger storms stay east.....it will all come down to how the trough/WAR setup works out...the amount of model agreement though is fairly scary.....
