re: Tropical Storm Debby - Flooding Threat Slowly Shifting NE

They adjusted to 988. Still 4 mb drop in a short time.

Recon measured a 986.1 mb, but that is extrapolated.

Wait a minute, don’t tell me hurricane pressures are calculated like unemployment numbers by our government?

No conspiracy. Weather observations for hurricanes are based on surface conditions. When winds or pressure are recorded at flight level the data is extrapolated to surface conditions.

It is the reason why, when winds observed on a rig that is 150 feet up are lowered when used in the storm report.

All quiet so far. Little rain, breezy

I know the models don’t agree but looking at that gif this things headed straight for Tallahassee.

Rewind back to Barrel for a second, because I just remembered to look.

Hurricane Beryl made the top five for the most prolific tornado producing Atlantic hurricanes on record. It barely beat out Andrew by six tornadoes. Beryl's final tally, stretching from TX fo NY, is 67, the most since Rita.
