Resource meeting today for Miami (telecom). Looks like ill be busy again for the weekend. No one is really lighting their hair on fire yet.
Who in hell would of thought in two week span we have a potential for 2 Major Metro areas in the US to be affected by something like this.
Wanting this to be a fish storm so bad!

Haven't followed this much at all until now. My dad has property in south Florida in Palm Beach County...how screwed is he?

That video of the eye is amazing.

Weird situation. My parents are on the SC coast, so obviously want to keep it way from them.
I'd prefer it turn north and avoid everyone, but a turn to the north sooner than projected isn't good news for SC coast.
As if my desires control the storm....I still don't know what the best case scenario is?

From what I've gathered from the informed guys here is that the best case scenario is that High ridge being weak and not building further westward allowing Irma to go out to sea.
However, this is looking more and more unlikely.

Still a chance that it turns out to sea and avoids the US.

A fish storm is one that gets pushed out to sea and never makes landfall. An annular hurricane is one that is very well formed and symmetric, with a large distinct eye.

Fish storm: hurricane that only impacts fish. Doesn't hit land.
Annular hurricane: An unusually symmetric tropical cyclone that doesn't feature the typical spiral banding. More or less looks like a big donut in practice. These storms are more resistant to adverse conditions and keep their strength longer.
The conditions to meet are technical, and the pros at the NHC have an index to categorize a storm as one. Irma isn't there yet.

I thought some suggested they could bowl through resistance. That if they were large enough they dictated to their surroundings. Something unique based on the size of the storm, not just taking the path of least resistance.

8:00AM official forecast

So from that track if she turns north now that puts a Major Metro Area in the NE Quadrant.
Wonderful

Storm that stays out at sea, usually recurving into the Atlantic.
An annular hurricane is a symmetrical storm with no distinct banding in the middle. Something like this:

No bueno.

Hurricanes are pretty much betas when it comes to steering. They're controlled by strength or weaknesses in high pressure.

Physics governs the storm no matter how powerful. It won't plow the heart of a dome of high pressure, fluids don't flow from low to high pressure. It will find a spot where the high pressure blocking is the weakness and follow that path.

Question. Has a powerful storm like this ever hooked and held together long enough to cross the Atlantic and hit Spain or England?
Posted on 9/5/17 at 7:53 am to Costanza
Has Disneyworld ever taken a hit like this? Can they take the damage?
