Did y’all split and I missed it?

If tropical storms are warm core with low level low pressure, how can it strengthen when it runs up against a front with cool air at the surface? I get the water is warm, but not far above that the air isn't.

I believe in look alone though, right, not actual obs?

Just trying to help differentiate btwn the trailer park/mobile home park…it’s two different worlds- and I never really saw the large park/small homes neighborhood until central Florida and south ….hundreds of those small homes w/paved roads and big community centers for bingo and shuffle board lots

It is all about flow and how different levels of the atmosphere react with each other. The positioning of the storm relative to the trough plays the biggest part.

That helps. As long as the front ain't into the circulation and it's still feeding off the warm water. All the colder air aloft would do is support convection, assuming it isn't bone dry. Often times though, it's gonna be dry behind the front too.
Now if the cold surface air starts getting pulled in/merges with the front, it ain't tropical anymore. Though it could strengthen off that interaction.
I don't think there's much front interaction happening, except for the beefy rain totals north of the system. What's going on is it's catching upper level divergence, supporting convection and outflow. Hence strengthening, despite the core being disrupted at this point.

I keep seeing SC will be Ian's 3rd landfall. It hit Florida and where else?

There's a plane en route to Ian currently.

I guess I assumed the front was already pulled down as part of the circulation. But if that were to happen, it would classified as subtropical?

Extratropical when it feeds off the spatial temperature difference, like you describe.

Tell your family to look at what we just went through here and to think about whether or not they are fricking idiots.

folks want to see crazy subtropical/extratropical lows. See some of the fall/winter storms in Alaska. They are quiet impressive to look at on vis

That is way more of a loss than the McLaren.

With that spoiler that thing probably took flight

It'll be fixed.
If it's a real one you basically can't total it short of burning it to the ground. Melting the trim tags in the process.
*Look for it on Copart soon.
