Looks like my family in Melbourne/Cape Canaveral area might get a great deal of rain. Hopefully none of the bad wind being on the east side.

It’s from the GFS that just wrapped up running around 10:30PM

It's got the right timestamp.

Also, the HRRR isn't blasting the biblical rainfall totals. Still in the 20" range but notably under the GFS.

Tampa will avoid the really bad storm surge, however, Tampa will still have rough weather, including extreme rainfall totals.

They're gonna get whalloped by the fresh water flooding and probably some still pretty nasty winds.

This is a cool quick video at the link:

This certainly looks to be a 150+mph #mesovortex or mini-swirl in the eyewall of #HurricaneIan over the Gulf 85. Comma-shaped reverse hook with strong tight velocity gradient. Strong #tornado embedded in the #hurricane #eyewall

It hasn't really ever bought into the really high totals.

getting better and better for Tampa for the storm surge as the eye has moved further South.

NAM isn’t going with the same high end 30”+ cumulative totals, but still has some troublesome 12”+ totals in 6 hour intervals.



It’s also showing some 4”+ 1 hour totals in some early morning Thursday snapshots.

Obviously high end rainfall totals are possible.

Probably just had a tornado cross 75 West of Fort Lauderdale.

It is on the ground again.

, yeah, not really giving it any credence on the strength, just trying to get some rainfall ranges from a few of the models.

Seems like the biggest concerns for rainfall, from really any of the models, will be the big outside band that comes in off the Atlantic side as the storm approaches landfall, and the areas to the the immediate N and NW of the storm center.

That makes sense to me logically as areas to the immediate SE and E or the eye will be relatively drier due to the intrusion of drier air.

Looks like it's close to finishing the eyewall replacement cycle. Tons of lightning in the hot towers wrapping around the eye.

A little notch of dry air on the western side is seen on mid-level water vapor and IR.

Weird move.

Maybe going to cut across that roaring convective burst on the west side.

Some pretty intense supercells in that band. I don’t recall seeing much lightning in outer bands like that very often.
