Yeah little doubt that Emily is getting it back together. According to that vortex, pressure down 11mb and the winds should be back up to 110 or 115.

Center is near 15 and 73.3.

Huh?




That must have been right when the antenna got hit by lightning ... and then came back online later

Thank you for the update and link to antenna problem info Hurricane Fredrick 1979

Oh, wow! I was correct? Maybe I'm learning something...came here to find info for Dennis when I was worried about my brother, and have stayed because it is so very interesting to analyze these storms.

The IR pictures between 17:15 and 19:15 UTC showed a large flare-up on the east side of the outflow... and when viewed as a still image, may have given the impression that the storm was disorganized... is that what you were looking at, or something else?

Not sure if anyone noticed, but the NHC track at 5PM had a point of 15.2 and 75.4 for the 12HR position. At 8PM they have it at 14.9 and 73.4, although if you look at sat views, it's clearly at 15.0 and 73.4. Their 12HR position may be a flop, and that's not good for Jamaica. The Jams need one more of those due west jogs.

Yes - huge difference between 19:15 and the next pic at...22:46? Is this the sat outage that was mentioned. I was pretty busy this aft and I didn't even notice. I'm looking at infared and just went back and checked and visual & water vapor not updated yet. Anyway looks like what I thought I saw did happen; the inner part of the storm is breaking away from the outer edges on the N and E and they don't appear to be connected to the storm's motion in a strong way.

Gotta agree with you there, Shawn -- on the current course, it's headed straight for the western part of the island. They need one of those Ivan or Charley-type jogs to the west as it approaches, or they are going to take it on the chin from a yet-again rapidly intensifying hurricane.

Recon reports pressure down to 956mb. Eyewall is elliptical in nature and pretty steady; probably should hold for awhile, allowing for more intensification (given favorable upper level winds). It might yet make one more run at its previous intensity, unfortunately. Emily's proving yet again to be quite the bugger intensity-wise...no one has really called this one right so far.

I wonder if we'll see it back to Cat 4 status tomorrow. It is looking very clean and tight on the sat pics.

Whoa! Hold on there. She just got to CAT 4

Emily continues pressure fall. Latest Vortex message is indicating Emily's pressure is down to 954mb.

Wow that strengthened REALLY quickly. What a fickle storm. It weakens and strenghtens faster than you can say wow.

Well where the sam hill is everybody...things are starting to get very interesting (as in a Chinese curse: may you live in interesting times). It looks favorable for holding strong intensity, and the course may be closer to Jamaica tomorrow.

I'm guessing that means the eyewall replacement cycle is over!! It's amazing that winds can strenghten by 20 mph in 3 hours!!!

Every day I am hearing about a couple of homes going up in flames from cloud to ground lightning in C FL.




There is a meteorologist at Melbourne FL NWS named Matt Bragaw who is a lightning specialist. Might be interesting to ask him via their web site.

How about in two hours.

From Discussion 21, just in:

"Very recent maximum 700 mb flight level winds from the aircraft were as high as 128 kt in the northeastern quadrant...up from 108 kt in that same quadrant just a couple of hours ago."
