re: Hurricane Irma - Spinning Down

Surge is largely a function of the low pressure. There's less force pushing the water down and it rises up more. Size of hurricane and wind direction also play a role, so there will be some impact of the direction she comes at a location but the surge will be there with a big deep hurricane like this.
I take this back! iIt is indeed the winds pushing (though technically a function of pressure) that have the bigger impact.

Can u explain this. I'm learning so much, and wasting my day, lol

So how is Miami going to handle the surge if the current model holds true? I know it's not a Nola type situation, but I don't know the lay out and topography of that city

They don't lose their surge strength as quickly as their wind strength if they lose it at all. Katrina was still carrying the surge strength from her peak.
Not so much storm surge "strength" but the fact that it was such a huge size storm, and the surge started building and being pushed towards shore when it was a 5.

Would be great if all the Katrina memory-lane types started their own thread.

Whatever happened with that new satellite that went up earlier this year or late last year that was supposed to give us these new, crazy, never before seen views of the storm? Are those coming out yet?

Dumbass here, can someone tell me if there is much chance of Irma hitting the Louisiana and Mississippi Gulf Coast?

You'll often see strong bands immediately outside of the eye wall. Sometimes those bands wrap all the way around and will close off the inner eye wall, choking it's access to moist air. The inner eye wall weakens, and eventually gets replaced as the outer band contracts. During that cycle, you're weakening the part of the storm with the strongest winds, so the intensity dips accordingly.
After the cycle you'll usually see am expansion of the wind field, provided the storm has enough time and favorable circumstances.

As of now, the models say no, but if it doesn't push north at Florida, then it could

think NOAA2 is done for now
AF309 coming around for pass #3 through Irma's eye.

It's amazing looking at that awesome image of the eye rotation knowing below those clouds all hell is breaking loose!

You forgot speed of the storm as well. Speed plays a huge huge roll. A slower storm is gonna have more time to push water where a speedier storm isn't gonna push as much.

Me too lol

if I'm in the Keys or S. Fla. I'm getting all the essentials ready to go and if nothing changes by late tonight or early tomorrow... I'm outta there
also... don't see how they're playing the Bucs/Dolphins game in Miami on Sunday

Fox 13 said this morning that Publix is out. I am going to do the 5 gallon jug thing.
