So as always, LOL we have the euro west in the GFS east.

 

[ForsythSnow]

If the winds drop down 2 mb, Irma will be the first 200 mph hurricane in the Atlantic.

 

[Brent]

That dropsonde means we might have the strongest atlantic hurricane on record by wind

May keep it at 185 though

Wow 196kts at 915mb.....

The dagum HMON was right.

 

[accu35]

This seems so unreal, winds that high. Defiantly in the end times.

 

[Arcc]

Did clusters of members shift in any particular direction.. I am still waiting on TT to update

I don't know, I mostly use PW and they only have the mean.

 

[DadOfJax]

So now the GFS Op is an outlier to its ensembles...seems so familiar....again, this thing is Gulf bound

 

[NorthGaWinter4]

GEFS mean is near the west coast Of Florida and tracks it's straight through ga

That's 225 mph. Just insane. The HMON is a great model. I think we should watch it greatly.

Good grief. Just because Irma is on course to be the strongest hurricane on record(wind wise) doesn't mean some biblical apocalypse is upon us. Plus they only started keeping record since 1851. I'm sure somewhere down the line there was a stronger storm.

I can understand how some would think this is some sort of biblical apocalypse. I mean Harvey and now this ? Assuming this storm doesnt weaken dramatically, when''s the last time the US dealt with 2 storms the magnitude of Harvey and Irma in the same year ?

18z HMON makes landfall SW of Homestead, FL

The US went 12 years without a major hurricane making landfall. We were due

Did two Cat 4 or higher hurricanes strike the US in 2004 ?
