LIstening to MSNBC, the MET there seems to think the Press Conference may just be to explain the model differences and that this is normal. May not see any major changes at all. Will see in about 10 minutes.

check out this lapse rate:
I. 12 C/ 3059 m
J. 19 C/ 3051 m

i don't know how uniform that is around the storm thermodynamics but that's.....that's impressive. 26+' and your temperature plummets 8C!

OK, 18Z NAM run is further northj, staying just offshore of NE Yucatan, then nudges eastward.

My understanding of the "oops" part of the 2pm was that one of the models ingested bad data and it's affecting the models that build off of it (in part or total).

Is Clark around here hiding with extra insight?

I think that everyone is just holding their breath until after the news conference and the 5:00 NHC discussion and new track comes out.

Thanks Tip and Lake Toho, that's just what I was looking for, a bit of constructive feedback.
And, yes, Toho hit the nail on the head when I mentioned inertia, didn't realise that Tropical Cyclones weren't affected by it. Great stuff..

short and skinny...lapse rate: 'rate of change of temperature with height'
(I. 12 C/ 3059 m) - (J. 19 C/ 3051 m) = 7C in 8 meters... Or in none si terms, about 12F in just 26ft!

Anyone have a link to listen online to the NHC press conference, since I'm still at work?

That temperature difference is more reflective of the horizontal rather than vertical change in temperature, since one reading is taken in the eye (where it is warmer), while the other is the max temp found in the eyewall. Stronger storms will have larger differences between eye and eyewall temperatures.

Hi All--
I'm new to this forum but live near Tampa and have been tracking Wilma extensively the past few days. I've been a weather junkie for years. One of my favorite sites is Weather Underground... what do you all think of the latest from Dr. Jeff Masters??

bottom line, more uncertainies....

the GFDL, which Max said is his best hurricane model has changed alot since this morning, slowed the motion down... and that has the NHC concerned...

Slowed down the approach, that is about it. Trying to figure out the change in models and wanted to announce why.

the 7C eyewall temp diff is much lower than this AM when it was 12C or more.
