The eye wall replacement is really taking a toll on Irma's intensity right now, at least from a maximum wind standpoint. Looks like the pressure will be up to 923-927 once a dropsonde confirms.

I'm still nervous about this thing here in Louisiana. At least until it turns north.

Inner eyewalls has probably fully collapsed based on the sharp pressure hike.

If so, the pressure will start falling in the next couple of hours. Just something to watch for without a proper microwave pass to look at.

It would take a colossal frick up by NHC and computer models for it to make that far of a shift west. I know Katrina happened but computer models have come a LONG way since 12 years ago.

You really shouldn't be. You have to assume every single computer model, the NWS, and the NHC have completely wiffed on the steering with features that currently exist for this to be a real concern.

Or that Irma will violate the laws of physics.

Probably because of that huge shift west overnight when Florida was in the sights.

I don't get it either.

A) Buras, LA stayed inside the cone the entire time. People just focused on the line, not the cone.

B) It was 12 years ago. The NHC is 40% more accurate in their forecasting now.

I get that but they weren't wrong. It was still in the original cone

you're talking extreme outer edge of the cone to the center of the cone just 3 days before landfall

was it in the cone? yes... but you go from "ehhhh" to "oh shite we have to go NOW" in no time flat

Hope it doesnt recover well, coming ashore as a Cat 3 will lower the impacts immensely to inland areas especially.

Sure, but that is not the NHC's fault people didn't take it seriously.

ERC is completed and a new larger eyewall has developed.

Nah, not yet. Still an inner eye wall present in that scan.
