I like RBTOP and Funktop. They're good for showing the stronger parts of a storm, Funktop for precipitation especially. Rainbow is also used a lot. Dvorak is used sometimes to classify a storm using the Dvorak technique.

Damn, that radar pic from recon looks crazy. Just a "beautiful" looking storm. I know it's not good IRL, but as a storm, that thing is wrapped up nicely.

When did the eye of a storm pass 'over' West Palm Beach? I owned a home near there in Ocean Ridge and don't recall any storm where the eye went over Palm Beach.
Wilma's eye passed right over my house in the 33409. I lost directv after the eyewall passed. Then it went out to sea in Jupiter.

That just caused quite the rise.....in barometric pressure

The data dump was ingested by the 00z NAM and it is kicking the trough out faster. Have to wait and see what that means in the GFS but there will probably be some significant shifts.

NOAA2 is in fact going home
now AF305 is the only plane currently doing recon in Irma

Eta: Do you mean the trough is forming faster or it is weakening faster?

I read that as bad b/c the trough is what's supposed to grab Irma and pull it out to sea
ETA: if the trough is out of the area faster... that would mean the chances of Irma finding it is lessened

So these things collecting info ... if they're dropped how do they get them back or is it just all computerized?? Not trying to be silly at all. Truly trying to learn and y'all are great at simple terms. Tia.

I can't remember a single update recently that shifted the track east. This thing is consistently shifting west. I'm sure by tomorrow It'll be going through Destin.

How's the hurricane looking for the gulf? Haven't been able to keep up with the thread much today.
A trip up the central Florida peninsula is basically the consensus at this point. A trip up the easter Florida coast is the next most likely outcome, followed by a trip up the western Florida coast.
Direct impacts in Florida are pretty likely at this point. There are a few outliers that suggest it may get into the GOM, but of those, most suggest it will head northward after entering and hit the panhandle.
I'd argue things look better for the GOM today than they did yesterday, simply because we're roughly 5 days out and most models are still suggesting a northward turn before, in the middle, or immediately after it passes Floridia.

They just report data back. Pretty sure they're left at sea.

You're right. I'd blocked it out. We had lots of tree damage and damn near lost Two Georges there off the intercoastal at Boynton Beach.Posted on 9/4/17 at 9:44 pm to tiger91
Do you mean the dropsondes?
They send back info via radio and have a gps to track it. Can you imagine trying to retrieve one in the middle of raging hurricane?
