I think they call it Early Warning Future Track or something like that.

Re: Eye Wall Question [Re: Geoff]
      #62111 - Sun Oct 23 2005 02:49 PM

Quote:

When an intense hurricane partially makes land like Wilma did, and the inner eye wall loses some of its momentum and becomes obscured, do they generally undergo an eye wall replacement cycle when they get back over water. Anotherwords, do outer bands eventually become the next inner eye wall, or does the original inner eye wall typically just redevelop (given enough time back over warm water)?

I've been curious about this since Wima left the tip of the Yucutan, and I was hoping one of the experts might help shed some light on it (hopefully this is the right forum for this question). Thanks.

Also, you may have already seen this link, but I just stumbled onto it. You can animate all the Channels of the GOES-12 at the same time. Pretty interesting.

http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/goes/realtime/grtmain.html




I don't think Wilma is currently undergoing an ERC right now, as it just finished the one earlier this morning from when it was over land. RIght now, it seems as if she is trying to recover from land. This may or may not happen before landfall in Florida.

1. She has picked up some speed this morning (from 2 MPH to 8 MPH, may even go up at 11AM)
2. She is currently over the loop current, but depending on the vertical sheer at the present, she may or may not pick up any strength from that. At the very least, she will remain a Cat 2 for the present time.

Katrina evacuees moving again.... [Re: FireAng85]
      #62113 - Sun Oct 23 2005 02:50 PM

Katrina evacuees are moving again, this time in Boynton Beach, FL as another hurricane follows them.

Among those headed for shelters are 117 evacuees from August's devastating Hurricane Katrina, Dimke said. Their refuge at Palm Meadows, a horse-training center west of Boynton Beach, has some rooms that lack hurricane shutters, he said. Courtesy Sun-Sentinel.

      #62114 - Sun Oct 23 2005 02:53 PM

11 AM Advisory just in. Here are the vitals:


At 10 am CDT...1500z...the center of Hurricane Wilma was located
near latitude 22.7 north... longitude 85.8 west or about 285
miles... 460 km... west-southwest of Key West Florida... or about
340 miles... 545 km... southwest of the southwestern coast of the
Florida Peninsula.


Wilma is moving toward the northeast near 8 mph...13 km/hr. A
gradual increase in forward speed is expected today and tonight.


Maximum sustained winds are near 100 mph...160 km/hr...with higher
gusts. Wilma is a category two hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
scale. Some strengthening is possible today or tonight.


Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 70 miles...110 km...
from the center...and tropical storm force winds extend outward up
to 200 miles...325 km.

Slight south shift at 11:00. Landfall just south of Marco Island 24 hours from now. Seems about right. maybe 20-30 miles either side would be best bet. However, with a diffuse storm, center point will not be as critical. Most models show heavy rain will be in the north becuase of interaction with the front. Heavier wind will be in the south. Either way, a messy day for Florida tomorrow.

Judging by the vis loop she looks to be going ne. Wobbles here and there but over all a ne motion. She looks that way to me anyway.

By subtracting the distance between 5am and 11am she is moving more east than north by a tenth of a degree. She is faster than stationary but not much. Watching this system is like watching rocks grow. We know that they do but it sure is hard to see.

It really looks like that front is cutting off that northery severe weather at this point, you can watch the Sats/Radar and see the intensity dissapating, not totally of course

The hurricane center seems to like to press in the 11AM discussion yet again that it is still possible a Category 3 storm is possible before landfall. I think this is definitely a possibility due to the inner core reorganization process. If the inner core spits out all of the dry air, and sucks up enough of the loop current energy (and trust me, the warm water is deep enough down there) it is very possible.

Can't stress enough to listen to local officials on preparedness, and all preparation should be rushed to completion as Wilma will start to effect southern Florida this evening.

Oh I hear you regarding the Loop Current, we have all seen the prior TC's go through there and explode quickly. We can look and hope for that drier air to get underneath and make that Maj Cat growth unfavorable.

Hiya, can you please tell me why the mets on TV are forecasting the worst of the storm being to the south and east of eye? When I look at visuals, I see lots and lots of purple to the northwest quad, headed straight for tampa bay?


I can see now that it is storm surge they are concetnrating on, I am wondering about tornadoes and such in my area.

Does anyone know if a decision was made on Seminole County school closures for tomorrow? They were supposed to meet at 10:30 but I have not heard of the decision.

Current motion [Re: Tazmanian93]
      #62127 - Sun Oct 23 2005 03:22 PM

The current motion is far more NE than ENE. The graphic is two hours old now, but that it has been moving whithin a degree of NE is pretty evident.

11am Recon - the 10NM eye has officially reformed enough to be considered an eye apparently. We now have 10NM and 60NM concentric eyewalls. Winds appear way down - only recording of 67KT FL winds for 964mb pressure - thats indicates TS force surface winds with Cat 3 pressure - wow. If this thing can keep its pressure down, I'd expect the winds to recover fairly quickly once the eye becomes less ragged.
