Looks like "Ian" follows "Hermine" right up the east coast on that run like a RB following his FB.

I'll be gone when that next system makes its way over. That thing looks like a nightmare waiting to happen, but luckily it's at hour 336 so hopefully something will happen to weaken it as it makes its way across the atlantic

Back to 99L. Not trying to stir shite up, but I recall K rapidly intensifying almost overnight to a Cat 5 before reducing to a 3 at landfall. rdc and others, what caused that rapid intensification and does the gulf currently possess similar conditions? Again, I'm not trying to stir it up, just am extremely fascinated by/scared of these storms.

HWRF backs off from Cat 4 to more believable Cat 2 but still direct hit on Tampa.

That's a little too close for my liking.

Deep eddies in the gulf caused Katrina to explode. If this little fella hits one of those all bets are off.

At that point the storm is referred to as a "bahama buster"

IMO we should be looking at P25L more than 99L, it has unanimous support from the Global models. Yeah, I know models sucked for 99L, but 99L never had unanimous support.


P25L is too far out to focus on at this point... I mean it could literally end up anywhere in the Atlantic

However, as I check the 00Z models this morning, I'm finding the best concensus yet that 99L develops in the Gulf. Even the GFS agrees with the Euro at this point, which hasn't happened at all before in this storm.

It does get me back to wondering why the Euro has been busting so hard on 99L though... going back, I think a few of the models (not just the Euro) have been overestimating initial intensity which snowballed into later forecasts. It's probably not that simple but it's a start.

We're looking for low shear, a very moist atmosphere, and water temperatures above about 80°.

The water temperatures are definitely there... with most of the gulf above 85°. Moisture seems to be there as well, especially in the eastern gulf, looking at water vapor imagery. There appears to be a weak upper level anticyclone over the central gulf as well, which is producing a low shear environment for 99L the rest of the way.

So yes, the conditions are pretty much prime for intensification when it gets in the Gulf. That's part of the reason we've been keeping such a close eye on this one... because it could quickly become a threat once it gets close.

I always like to look at the Intensity Guidance along with the Spaghetti.
GFNI would hit BR as a Cat 1. Worst of the models for us.
