For sure. It looks pretty steady state this afternoon on satellite, which is horrifying for the northern Bahamas.

Was the conclusion made from the twitter videos the dmg was caused by the western front and they hadn't even received the worse part?

I’m sorry. I read over your post way to fast.
Even if just gust, that’s amazing power

The current forecast is not very
different from the previous one, and it is very close to the
multi-model consensus TVCA. Both the deterministic and consensus
tracks have shown the usual variability to the right or to the left
from run to run, but the overall trend is for the hurricane to turn
northward offshore but dangerously close to the Florida peninsula.

Given the uncertainty in the track forecast and the anticipated
increase in size of the hurricane, a Hurricane Warning and Storm
Surge Warning have been issued for a portion of the Florida east
coast.
It is once again emphasized that although the official track
forecast does not show landfall, users should not focus on the exact
track. A small deviation to the left of the track could bring the
intense core of the hurricane its dangerous winds closer to or onto
the Florida coast.

Avila mentioning a possible EWRC could be occurring since the eye is shrinking.

Saw that. We'll know more shortly when HH gets back there. Nothing is really visible on radar yet.

Somebody said they are now flying to it from Biloxi, instead of Lakeland. Why would they make this change when Lakeland is so much closer?

We can see the side that will matter, the NW. That's where any potential secondary eyewall bands haven't been able to swing around with the squeeze on that side. Dorian has been able to expand a little bit in that direction and as the high erodes, a secondary band ought to be able to wrap around once it forms up.

*Speculation obviously, since PhDs struggle calling EWRCs*

Finally, not a bad call at 1:45 for the forward motion to be 5 mph at the 4 o'clock update.

ETA:

There will be another plane out of Lakeland tonight that will be in there about the same time. They've had two planes up at the same time for the past couple of days.

To FL East Coast Residents: Traffic on Northbound I-95 or Turnpike ? I-75 Northbound? I-4? Normal for weekend or holiday? Heavier? Just wondering.


Just went up 95 from palm beach gardens to go to the beach in Jupiter and it’s completely normal for Sunday afternoon.

Probably because the entire state of Florida is under emergency alert, if it made landfall those planes would be flipped over. At Biloxi they are safer.

Probably because the available crew is in Biloxi. There are only so many crew members and they have to rest.
