I believe sustained at 180 may be the highest I've seen in my 32 years watching the Atlantic basin. I wonder how high it'll go.

Storm's still moving due west?




I can kind of see a WNW at the end of the loop but that could just be a "wobble"

Apparently moving the game to Week 11 is an option b/c both MIA & TB have their byes that week

that would be something if those 2 teams have to play 16 straight weeks without a break

esp. for MIA since that's the week after they return from London for the Saints game

Hurricane Irma Discussion Number 26

NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL112017 1100 AM AST Tue Sep 05 2017

Irma is an extremely impressive hurricane in both infrared and visible satellite images. Experimental GOES-16 one-minute visible satellite pictures show a distinct 25-30 n mi wide eye with several mesovortices rotating within with eye. The aircraft have not sampled the northeastern eyewall where the strongest winds were measured shortly before 1200 UTC this morning, but the Air Force plane will be entering the eye in that quadrant momentarily. A peak SFMR wind of 154 kt was reported, with a few others of 149-150 kt. Based on these data the initial intensity is set at 155 kt for this advisory. This makes Irma the strongest hurricane in the Atlantic basin outside of the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico in the NHC records.

4. The chance of direct impacts from Irma later this week and this
weekend is increasing in the Florida Keys and portions of the
Florida Peninsula. However, it is too soon to specify the timing
and magnitude of the impacts. Elsewhere, it is too early to
determine what direct impacts Irma might have on the continental
United States. Everyone in hurricane-prone areas should ensure that
they have their hurricane plan in place.

It doesn't take much more than a thunderstorm for South Tampa to flood as it is - can't imagine what a hurricane will do.


Drainage is so bad here, south Tampa specifically.

Weather gurus if this track stays consistent for the next few days how much weakening would occur from the glancing blows to the D.R and Cuba?
