Recon hasn’t been in the center of the storm in a few hours now, but regardless, that’s my point. I want to see if they address the infrared they’ve had come in since recon left.


Recon was just in there in the last hour or so.

Strongest winds are north of DR at flight level. Didn't have a center fix. Did find some weak and cyclonic turning winds to the south that is probably a little vort center rotating around the main center that is over land. The convection is impressive but it's displaced as there is some northerly mid-level shear pushing at Laura.

This looks like a slower track... does that mean more sheer over the islands or more time to intensify... or both?

New advisory calls for wind gusts to up to 115mph with Laura at landfall. 90mph sustained winds at landfall.

After seeing so many posts, I feel I have to respond... It’s very clear you’ve taken this as your own personal battle tonight , and that’s cool

I’m not sure exactly where this started earlier in the thread....

The Northeast quadrant of tropical storms and hurricanes are typically the first to come together and hold together and typically always strongest here in the northern Atlantic. It is what it is. It’s physics and thermodynamics, and it typically holds serve.

Yes, based on graphic you provided, if a perfectly formed and perfectly symmetric hurricane hit at the right direction and angle, then another quadrant may produce a more net positive and stronger set of winds based on the hurricane’s forward direction and speed at the time.

But systems aren’t usually perfect. And east side of hurricane here is overwhelmingly the ‘worst’ side. And subsequently the NE is overwhelmingly the strongest and most solid quadrant.

I just realized how slow Marco's supposed to be after making landfall

24 hours after landfall in southeast/south central Louisiana... it;s just getting to the LA/TX border
