Tropical Major Hurricane Irma (Part 1)

[SoutheastRidge]

2AM start or so! Only runs twice a day

I'll be glad when it starts running at 1am in November !

this thing may be near Cat 5 for the Leewards at this point, still strengthening per recon

and the environment only gets more favorable further west

It's just a beast and going to be bearing down on the islands very soon

I can't even imagine what it's going to look like approaching the Florida Straits at this point if the models are right about the upper level setup

Dave over at http://stormcarib.com/ slamming TWC and rightfully so. The northern islands are staring down the barrel of a nuclear cannon. I hope it starts the WNW bend before it gets there.

0z GFS is just a touch south thru 48.. and slightly stronger. Trough also seems just barely deeper

 

[Cary_Snow95]

Slightly south at 60

 

[Taylor]

Dang. This thing better start gaining altitude if it is going to pass 17 degrees north before 60W like so many tropical models forecast.

 

[Cary_Snow95]

Trough over the NE seems to be moving slower

 

[Brent]

looks very similar to the 18z see no reason it won't be into S FL again

Opal, Ivan, Katrina, Frederic, etc., I'm beginning to think I'm a frickin' magnet for these things, that's why I'm watching Irma so closely. And then there's ANOTHER system firing up right behind Irma..oh joy,for joy!

And another possible coming off shore.

Yup, 0z does have Irma a tick south vs it's 18z run but by very little. It's pretty much the same, no major changes (not as of yet)

This looks a touch south to me compared to 18z...just a touch...

As I fight very very annoying flies in my room.

Basically we've got a conveyor belt of tropical systems in the Atlantic right now. I realize we're coming into peak of hurricane season, but I can't imagine six more weeks of THIS!

GFS not backing down

 

[dsaur]

You got spare room ... LOL

Phil, if you were to ride up into here right underneath the eye, I bet you'd have some stories to tell in your old age, lol. Looks like a clear shot right into the mountains It'd be like surfin' only with a car, and low, low visibility, with driving wind. T

Gfs a little slower to turn so far. Weakness now starting to show.

 

[Brent]

if this doesn't change by tomorrow the crap is gonna hit the fan in Florida

Yep, the Saharan air layer is my favorite map in these times. Wondering about at least two impulses over the desert. This could be a year to remember, and for all the wrong reasons

It's like 2005 all over again hurricane wise.
