Tropical Major Hurricane Michael

Cooling cloudtops again, this time over land....hell why not...lol
Shane brought up a great point about the incoming trof, and maybe the extra upper divergence is giving him the boost to help stay stronger.

As one might expect, power outages are increasing across GA as Michael treks through the state. 70,000 Georgia Power customers are without power so far tonight.

Michael still looks very impressive after hours over land. I'm wondering if it's going to end up still being a weak hurricane/strong tropical storm (like I was warning my dad as a possibility) when it gets to me.

Edit: To add, although I haven't felt great today and yesterday, when I was looking through Brett Adair's footage, I was getting a little nauseated at it. There was a time when I was a youngin when I thought I'd go into meteorology (and my mom thought the same), but seeing that footage, man I couldn't do that.

I just looked and TWC no longer has a high wind forecast for us. We shall see. The 50-70 winds. And you're in a tornado watch and I'm not. Thank goodness for that river.

If the 3k NAM is doing the best as you say you’ll be right in the center and I’ll be right on the edge of the center. If it stays a hurricane once it gets to us it could be a long night. I’m in Gray btw
 
Mexico Beach was devastated today. Ginger Zee was sheltered at the Summerhouse condos. Her Twitter and FB page shows some horrific images from the town. There are houses in the middle of hwy 98 and popular landmarks are gone. The word is that most everything beach side of hwy 98 is either heavily damaged or destroyed. These photos are from Ginger Zee's FB page. We are heartbroken tonight for a town that is so special to us.

That house is sitting in highway 98 in front of the driftwood inn if you are familiar with the area.

HRRR insists on a narrow band forming tomorrow with winds 75-85mph in gusts. Other models show similar just not quite as strong. This will produce a ton of problems if it verifies.

It shows it developing those strong winds in the midlands of SC beforehand so if it verifies that will be a huge stretch of wind damage.

HRRR still insisting on 70+ wind gust with that baroclinic enhanced wind band on the backside tomorrow night..... what you think?

I am thinking the local mets really dropped the ball declaring this morning that this will not be as bad as Florence here. I think a lot of folks are going to be caught off guard tomorrow.
 
I've been out of the loop for the last few hours yall. Any word on fatalities/casualties? Or on the overall scope of the damage inland? I saw something about major damage in Marianna? Obviously pretty widespread.

I think we will most likely see this enhancement occur to what degree I'm not sure. Winds at 850 are likely to be in the 70kt-80kt range with 925s in the 45-65 range which makes me think that gusts of 40-45kt are a good bet. Getting above that well into the 50s and 60s I'm not sure yet. It's pretty cool though that you can see the hrrr mixing that dry air to the surface and dropping tds as it arrives around 10 degrees.

NAM showing 70 mph gust as well.....
 
And just as I make that post I go back to the hrrr on another site I see 850s at 23 hr of 85-90kt. Yeah that's a problem, start transporting that downward and you are looking at widespread 60-65kt gusts with some max gusts near 75kt
