That means higher winds further inland.
Outflow looks great on all sides. But we're not seeing the whites and pinks, in terms of cloud tops encircling the eye, as much as we were earlier. Not sure if that indicates anything right now, but it appears the uplift is not as violent, currently.
Edit: And it looks to be currently on a due west heading. I'm sure that's temporary. But it's a significant little jog, nonetheless.

Ha....he said the same thing about Michael, that intensity was capped....let's see if it happens.
Like with a lot of systems, you can sometimes see where this thing is going with what’s currently going on. The track has been laid out with the upstream features.
I saw where he said he was studying for high points. It's going to be a hard place to find around there.
I wouldn’t be surprised right now if there were isolated pockets over water with 145kt.

I have personally witnessed what a 20’ storm surge can do when I was with FEMA in NY after Sandy. If you have evac orders, do it. If not, leave your info with someone who can get it to authorities after the storm passes in case you don’t survive.

Those are some pretty big swells. A lot have went off line. Even oil rigs.

Crankyweatherguy should NEVER be used for anything hurricane related. He is absolutely awful. He is calling this a cat 2 and saying it is weakening while pressure is falling and the storm is continuing to improve outflow, symmetry, structure, etc. He said Michael wasn't even a hurricane at one point and said it probably was a high end 1 or low end 2 at landfall. He's an absolute joke when it comes to hurricanes... just saying.
Regarding the warming cloud tops, this is quite typical in the process of a strengthening major hurricane and during the daytime as well when the cloud tops warm slightly. This storm is still strengthening quite rapidly as evidenced by the clearing eye and continued pressure falls.

It's always a beautiful thing to see a storm from the safety of a satellite image. But what a terror for those who must be beneath its wrath. A thrilling feeling, mingled with terror.
My brother just saw that a Shell facility just recorded a 160 mph wind gust.
