The Arlene Situation
|
5PM Update 10.Jun
Hurricane Watch extended eastward to Indian Pass, FL (Just west of Tallahassee) and winds upgraded to 65MPH.
See Clark's blog below for an updated discussion.
11:00 AM Update 10.Jun
Arlene Strengthens some more, now Hurricane Watches are up along the coast from the mouth of the Pearl River in Mississippi to Panama City Beach, FL.
The windspeed is based off of aircraft recon reports, which reported around 50 knot winds near the disorganized center of Arlene. In fact they moved the center northward a bit because of relocation. So this may happen again. Vertical windshear weakened and has allowed Arlene to strengthen a bit as it entered the Gulf. And because of the close call, Arlene may squeeze itself to minimal hurricane strength, and at the very least force the Hurricane Watches along the coast. Folks in the watch area will want to be ready for a minimal hurricane.
Most of the energy is on the Northeastern side of the storm, including rainfall bands coming into Southwestern Florida now.
8:00 AM Update 10.Jun
Arlene is now in the Gulf of Mexico, and the winds are up to 55MPH. Arlene has been spawning waterspouts near the Florida Keys, and may stir up the atmosphere enough to spawn more relatively weak waterspouts/tornadoes.
7:30 AM Update 10.Jun
Tropical Storm Arlene got slightly stronger overnight, and now Tropical Storm Watches are up from Morgan City, LA to Indian Pass Florida. The models have drifted a bit west, and this watch area is pretty solid I thnk. A good portion of the energy extends Northeastward on this system, which will bring rain to Central Florida as well.
The forecast maps below are probably too far east, but we'll wait and see today.
Original Update
Tropical Storm Arlene is still south of the west of Cuba, and not all that organized right now.
It may have a chance to strengthen just a little when it gets into the Gulf proper. However, if it gets closer to land the windshear as it approaches will likely pick up, which would keep the storm in check and stop it from growing too strong. Arlene still has a window to reach minimal hurricane strength, but I doubt it will reach that. A strong Tropical storm and rain event is most likely over the weekend.
The most recent trends have it going a little west of the prior forecast tracks, which is good news for us in Florida, as it may keep some of the rain away. However, the extent of the storm northward will still give us some of the outermost bands, as Arlene is a large storm, so it won't be rain free. Some of it is already in the Keys. The intensity is still in question, so we'll have to watch. As mentioned before the good news is that it might weaken before it gets to land a bit, from whatever it will be at the time. The 36 hour timeframe is liekly when Arlene will peak.
Skeetobite Forecast Maps: (Click Maps for larger image)
Movement likens it more from LA to the western Florida Panhandle. Centering along the Alabama and Mississippi Coastline. This could change, as I'm not all that confident in it. The trend has been to the west, after moving a bit to the east. Persistence is the key to watch here.
As this is an early June storm, they actually tend to be easier to predict, but even then, it's not all that great.
We'll be watching it closely. The area east of the Caribbean is still looking ragged and not at all likely to develop anytime soon.

Re: The Arlene Situation

The new 00z Models are in and they have shifted somewhat more to the west it seems. Also the NHC track is in agreement with most of the models. I guess its now a wait and see whether or not she can get her act together in the gulf.

Re: The Arlene Situation
|
With so much heat and humidity and that is creating so much scattered thunderstrom up and down the east coast, how much effect will this have on the Arlene situation? Does it have little or no effect, or does it have a greater effect on what will happen once those bands hit land and all this heat and humidity?

Re:Arlene Update

I believe that some of the heat and humidity that you are experiencing on the Eastern Seaboard is due to an elongated trough of low pressure, feeding moisture from the Gulf Of Mexico.
Arlene is presently, 0837Z, in a small pinch of an area between the elongated trough and an encroaching ridge of higher pressure moving toward the west from the Atlantic Ocean.
Two scenarios come to mind. (disclaimer-I am not a meteorologist)
1-Arlene squeezes throught the 'pinch' area as forecast and contributes more moisture to your area.
2- Arlene absorbs, and cuts off the moisture being ejected toward the Eastern Seaboard.
That being said, the last frame of present satellite imagery ends at 08:15Z. 4:15EDT/ 3:15CDT.
http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/trop-atl.html
Several of the channels on the SSD website are now showing a very easily seen low level circulation. Just S of the most western tip of Cuba. I believe this is the Cape San Antonio and Cape Corrientes region.

Arlene - Jun 10th at 5 a.m. ET (09Z)
|
If you use Channel 2 IR, you can clearly see the low level circulation of Arlene separated from her convection. The upper level situation this morning indicates upper level trough remains to the west and north of Arlene, subtropical ridge to her northeast and building towards the SE-Carolina coast, upper level closed low underneath the ridge. My memory serves me correct; this placement of the lows & highs, will continue to build the ridge in the short term. I had a hard time finding the upper level low on satellite, so this might bear some watching later in the forecast period if it reflects down to the surface. There is a window of opportunity looking at the GOES 12 Shear analysis, but shear is expected to increase just prior to landfall according to the models. Arlene's appearance is that of a hybrid system. She continues to have a large circualtion envelope as evident on the water vapor imagery this morning. I'm not about to guess whether she'll obtain CAT1 Hurricane status; hybrid systems can often achieve that status; but no higher. Track position looks good, though I expect the center will continue to be nudged westward, a north moving system has all her weather on it's north and east flanks and Arlene is true to form.

Re: Habana

had me guessing for a minute too... last advisory, satelite presentation, vortex message... the evidence didn't add up.
arlene has its winds bumped up to 55mph... recon evidence is there.. but i wouldn't call that characteristic of how strong the storm is. the shear has been forecast to relax gradually as arlene moves into the gulf, so that numbers should seem authentic as can be later today. official track is over in ms again this morning. still leaning a tad east, but it's close enough (ms gets hit, and al/fl panhandle get just as much weather). think arlene will get stronger than officially forecast, but not by much. it's getting around the unhelpful side of the upper trough to it's west right now, and the subsidence entrainment should be slowly slacking off. enough for limited further strengthening, anyhow.
out-of-the-blue.. nhc is mentioning disturbed weather near the islands, but they could also give a shoutout to the low southeast of bermuda.. yesterday's 91L. this morning it's popping a couple of thunderstorms near the center. it's a regular td 4 (2000) out there. i have a feeling that it won't go away until it makes the TWO highlights.

Re:Arlene Update

I just got finished watching the "path" of Arlene on our local station and I noticed this: the "brick" wall looks like it went down from 3 "^^^" to 1 "^" between us on the Florida Gulf Coast and Arlene. I can tell by the radar that we're gonna be pounded here in Lakeland in a little while, but I am wondering if it will eventually turn more NW or stay on a more NNW track keeping it closer to the Not-So-Much Sunshine State today. Any thoughts?

Re:Arlene Update

arlene is becoming interesting again...she has bumped up her winds to 55 mph with reports of gusts to 70...she has also begun to accelerate slightly and is expected to continue to speed up her trek towards the gulf states...landfall and intensity are still anyone's guess, but ima say just west of mobile bay, saturday night (late), 65 mph or so...every one from mobile east is prolly due for a decent soaking, though if she continues increasing her forward speed, it may spare most from 10+" deluges...winds shouldn't be much of a problem, but if one still does not have a roof, tarps better be secured as frimly as possible
i had a little side bet with jason that this would at some point achieve cane status, but right now this is a bet ima prepared to lose (not quite crow...but close...i'm starting early this year) too much sheer left over from an upper level trof in the GOM will prevent intensification to cane status (not that that is a bad thing)
watching TWC as i type this and it is amazing how Pensacola in many areas still looks like a war zone from ivan...
that's about all for now...will wait and see what the 11:00 says...

NWS Discussion @ 8:46am

Just read the updated discussion for the Tampa area. Looks like they plan on "upping" the rain %'s and possibly extending and/or expanding the Flood Watch, but they want to wait for the 88D's, whatever they are, before doing that. They are also concerned about "spinups" in our area.
Didn't want to paste & copy the whole thing, just pare it down to the bare minimum of what's really the meat of the discussion.
It's getting breezy here and you can tell Arlene is getting closer....or at least her bands are getting closer.

I see what your saying JTH, Im not to sure myself. Looks like she went due north from the western tip of Cuba since last night. Im guessing there is supposed to be a turn to the NNW or NW later on in the day, but thats anyones guess right now. 06z GFDL seems to be on target predicting this movement north, then turning NW towards MS/AL.

Re:Arlene Update

It's almost impossible to see what direction she's heading in...NHC says NNW, so I guess she's going NNW. Maybe she will begin that eventual turn to the NW soon, who knows. Or she might just ride right up the eastern side of the Cone of Death. I look at it this way: she's still moving in a more northernly fashion. While this really didn't matter when she was out in the open waters, it DOES matter now because as long as she's on that course, the worse the weather in Florida will be. I am actually surprised that with her being that close to the Keys that they have not put up TS Warnings for that area. But what do I know?
As the old saying goes, "Time will tell."
p.s...they do have up TS Warnings for the Dry Tortugas. Just saw that on TWC. They also said it looks like it's trying to form a CDO, just north of Cuba.

That's true...but you can look at the radar and see what they mean by "trying" to form a CDO. Wouldn't that mean that *if* that is happening it's not entrained in all that dry air to it's west but in a more favorable environment for development, like say, further east?
I'm not worried about the winds, I'm more worried about getting more rain than anyone needs, especially since half the county has roofs dressed in blue.

CDO
|
The CDO... What I see looks like it is forming to the E of where the center is supposed to be... far enough E that the whole thing will fit on top of Cuba, looking at the map. With such a 'poorly defined' center of circulation, is it more likely for the center to shift?

Couple quick things, abbreviations commonly used you can move the mouse over when reading the forums and see a description and sometimes a link for more info.
For example try moving your mouse over these:

Arlene seems to have had her morning coffee. The NHC didn't mention the possibility of rapid intensification, but she really seems to be popping at the moment. Is this just a pulsing effect, or is this storm going to make a run at Cat 1 before landfall? Thoughts anyone?

I know I don't post often, but, I am a reagular "lurker" and look forward to hourly check-ups with you guys. I know most of you aren't pros, but, you are all seasoned vets of these types of storms.
But, the point of my post was to thank MikeC for the roll over effect on the most common acronyms. I am by no means a meteorologist nor an atmospheric scientist, and the addition of this feature will help me to understand the posts a little more clearly.
Thanks again.

Hurricane Watches and TS Warnings at 1100

HW---Pearl River to PANAMA CITY
TS Warnings- Grand Isle to ST. MARKS
Arlene is definitely on a track that has significantly deviated to the left of the forecast and is growing stronger faster. Landfall as a 70 mph tropical storm...think Barry.
Looks like an eye feature is beginning to show....

Is this what I am seeing?
|
I am looking at this WV loop...
http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT/float-wv-loop.html
I am only looking at the last five frames (sat repositioning).
It appears as though some of the stronger rain bands that were close to the center of circulation are being ejected (toward FL) and that the cetral area of the storm seems to grow more intense very quickly.
Does anyone else see this, or am I too new at this that I am not aware of what I am actually seeing?

Well now i am under hurricane watch....interesting the "center" reformed a little more north than forcasted.....should move the track a little to the.... i would say to the al/fl line atleast....and i think she should slow down justa little before landfall (forward speed)
also appears in morning sat that the storms to the east are trying to start to wrap around the center

Re: Hurricane Watches and TS Warnings at 1100

Worst of the weather, despite the landfall point, will be felt across points to the east of where the storm makes landfall -- i.e. Florida. There's not a lot, save for dissipation or a strong jog west, to change that, considering the rainfall bands making their way across nearly the entire state this morning. With the landfall point largely unchanged near Mobile/the MS-AL border, it's going to be from the FL-AL border east to near Marianna/Apalachicola that sees a lot of heavy rain with this storm through Sunday.
There's more of my thoughts on the front page now, in the blog below the main article.

THE NORTHERN COAST OF THE GULF OF MEXICO FROM GRAND ISLE LOUISIANA TO ST MARKS FLORIDA...INCLUDING LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN. ALSO AT 11 AM ...A HURRICANE WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FROM THE MOUTH OF THE PEARL RIVER TO PANAMA CITY FLORIDA. A TROPICAL STORM WARNING MEANS THAT TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WITHIN THE WARNING AREA WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

Flood Watches Extended in Florida
|
In case anyone missed this, the NWS has now included the Tampa Bay area under a flood watch until tomorrow night. 3-5" can be expected with a potential for locally heavier amounts in some areas.
Remember...be careful not to drive over flooded roadways: TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN.
I'm thinking that this storm may have more of an impact on Florida than previously thought by the NHC.
BayNews9 is still reporting on the 8:00am advisory. ACK!
I'm sorry...but this continued N movement with a "gradual turn to the NNW in the next 24 hours" is starting to peeve me. If it's moving at 13 mph to the N right now it could be closer to Tampa in 4-5 hours than it should have been had it been on the NW track that it was supposed to be on.
Okay, got that off my chest. Now it will probably begin to turn to the NW since I vented.

There are no "up to the minute" sats...sometimes NWS will run a Super Rapid Scan mode that gives one minute imagery updates (but with some lag), but there are not running SRO for Arlene. There is a link to the RAMSIS page at the bottom of the main page where rapid scan loops are displayed.

Re: Hurricane Watches and TS Warnings at 1100

Just want to post a few quick points here. Everything that most of us mets or future mets have said with Arlene has happend. She has strengthned in the se GOM, still dry air on its sw side, ( as said was going to be back 3 days ago) and a possibility of her making it near hurricane strength at landfall. My forcast still stands at a Panhandle hit. Most of the worst of the weather will be from near the center and to the east of the system. This is typical in GOM storms of this status.
On a quick model note: Consistance is a key to a good model, but sometimes the model on each storm will perform different. Currently if you look over the last 6-8 runs, the BAMM has been most consistant. The 12z models right now coming out already have Arlene alittle too far to the west near 85.5 (matters which model) by 8pm tonight. That wont happen unless she moves NW now. Anyways I agree a track simular to the BAMM but alittle to the west.Again its going to be the weather near the center and to its east will be the main factor. Pressure should continue to drop into the evening. scottsvb

Re: Hurricane Watches and TS Warnings at 1100

I've been watching the sat loops for a little while now, and it looks to me like she's tracked a little more W than N over the last few frames. Though, she's still so disorganized it's hard to see any definite movements. Like had been stated previously though, a stronger/more organized storm would probably track more north and landfall would shift a bit east. A less organized one and the track would be more to the west.

The storm appears to be enhancing in the NW quadrant. Still, it seems to be too close to Florida to allow it to strengthen much if it races through the gulf. But, anything can happen to change the scenario.

But Charlie, as I recall, was a mature storm when it entered the gulf; didn't appear as ragged as Arlene. Remember also that Arlene is handicapped in the SW quadrant- nada. There is no 'enclosure' and may become less viable with landmass interaction.

think it could still blossom a little...appears to be wrapping around itself...we all know what the GOM can do...
what are the potentials...given the SST's, and the wind shear....and the dry air to the west?...

Re: Hurricane Watches and TS Warnings at 1100

Just the track in general as well as Landfall, and if we all don't have enough to talk about. There are 2 tropical waves over the Atlantic Basin. One tropical wave located near the 35/36 west line and 15 north moving west at 10-15 knots; no deep convection is associated with this system. A large wave is along the 74/75 west line with the extreme north portion extending over Haiti. The wave is moving to the west at 10-15 knots. There is numerous strong convection associated with this system over northwestern Venezuela and northeastern Colombia

Re: recon info

Your right but everything leads us to believe that she can make it up to hurricane strength in the next 12 -24hrs. She always had the dry air to her w and shes been holding her own. Her center was broad with many vortexs rotating inside. Pretty much she is alot healthier then 12hrs ago.

Re: Back for Another Season

Any idea when she is going to move farther to the West?? I mean, it looks like she is right off the W. Coast of FL. We honestly can't take any more rain. As Colleen can probably agree with me on this, the road have sitting water in them already. I can't even begin to think of what one-two more days of heavy consistant rain is going to do.
Anyone watch Fox News? They make it sound like this is the end of the world. They are so darn dramatic when they show coverage of the storm. I have no choice that is the channel that is on in my face here at work, but give me a break.
I do wonder how much stronger she will become before making landfall. I didn't think she would be more than just a rain maker but I might have been wrong

Hahaha, ROBIM!
I've been staring at loops for so long and I still can't figure out where the center is. One loop it looks like it's headed due north, another loop looks like might have just crossed 85.
And another loop, all I see is a big red/purple blob headed towards the west coast of Florida...closer to the coastline than I would like.
Can anyone tell me what the heck where the center actually IS? Is it a jog to the west? Heading North still?

i been watching the lastest vis, and i think she just threw out another swirl in the last few hours and looks like she is trying to get another center up under the convection to the ene of the center. Storms fired up this morning to ene of center but now have weakened, cloud tops have flattened and appears she is up to something now....holding her own. I just have a hard time thinking the dry air over on the west side of her will weaken enough for to much more strengthening, but the ships model calls for it, so will see. Then again its JUNE in the GOM...will have to see

Re: possibilities

The center is more or less a conglamoration of all of the little vortices spinning about...probably three in total, one that has been really visible on the SW side of the storm this morning. The broad center is probably just east of 85W and just south on 25 N. If one of them could ever take over or they converge into one true center, we could see some development of the storm. Otherwise, in a weaker state it will remain.

That center is too broad to evolve into a hurricane; unless storms fire up in the SW quadrant and the vortex decreases in size; then, I agree it would have a good shot at hurricane 1 status.

I believe the GFDL may actaully have a good handle on this system now. Everyone should take a look.

That dry air should be modifying some soon. Im not concerned with the dry air. Im worried about shear. So far in her life, the shear hasnt let her develop storms over her center. If all of a sudden before landfall she decides to flare-up, which Im thinking she will, we may a minimal cat 1 on our hands. I say minimal, not WEAK because I dont believe any hurricane is weak.

Ugggg.... Hey what's all this fuss about... is there something in the GOM this morning? hehe
First Hurricane watch of the season and I'm in it.... hopefully this will be our swan song this year..
Predicted a couple of days ago between Ocean Spring and Pascagoula.... still looks right to me give or take a few miles... min Cat 1 certainly NOT out of the question, but FL panhandle will get the worst of it...

TS winds
|
Gainesville received 'only' TS storm force winds during Frances and Jeanne, but that was enough to create 25 years worth of yard waste in one month. We lost a LOT of trees and many people went without power for up to a week or even longer. Unless it's a weak TS, I wouldn't take it too lightly. I'm assuming that if the storm heads nearly straight N, as some models have predicted, that Gainesville could see more winds of at least 30 mph with stronger gusts. I guess that also depends on how much the storm strengthens/expands in the next several hours (lots of IFs.)

I agree Colleen, also notice there is convection starting to fire up on the west side of the center... which is a first... best I can determine is the center is around 25.2 and 85.1.... but the main feature is the convection starting up on the nw and west side of the center... albeit not much, there had been none throughout the history of storm... NNW looks about right for motion...

all depends on degees of NNW it takes, a true NNW would put it around 87.5 or so... wobble here or there, new center refomation, either could make the difference in a MS/AL line hit or a AL/FL hit... regardless Pensacola will probably get the brunt of it...

We got a real good rain ban earlier just about 11 am and the wind in the past hour has picked up a bit. Just cloudy no rain as of right now. The radar didn't look too hopeful for any sun today, so we are keeping the umbrellas ready. I may venture out in an hour or so for ice cream break for the office, unless it starts raining again.

I'll stick with what I said on the chat last night - I'm saying Cat. 1 (real weak, barely) for a brief time in GOM, and then it'll wussie out and return to TS status for landfall. I didn't call where, but I'll say somewhere between Pensacola and Appalachicola.
Now, back to work on the hurricane program. ;-)

Re: could it be?

mysticalmooons -- it is picking up on the remnant center going out into the Atlantic and developing as a midlatitude (extratropical cyclone). However, it is likely underestimating the current intensity of the tropical cyclone -- the global models never do well with them -- thus giving the impression of intensification in the NE US.

Re: could it be?

Yeah its very interesting on the exact position on where they want to put the center. Radar shows the center fixing itself more N near 26.2 right now moving almost due N. If this does infact become the true center, then they might adjust the warning areas to the east. Still dont look like anylandfall S of Cedarkey but remember this is mainly a rain maker with quick spawned tornados. Pressure of 997mb coordinates to 55-60mph. Canes are usually near 987 or 988mb.

What are your thoughts.
The bouy nearest the storm had a very significant pressure drop in the past hour and is reporting an east wind. It appears Arlene may be moving more NNW to NW in the last hour and is now around 85.5 per bouy report and sat pics.
What are you thinking?

143 from center of arlene

also note that the ships WAAH and C6FM5 were within 3 miles of each other at 1800.....strange? and only 53-56miles form center of storm...both had pressure of 29.49 and look to have reported winds out of south

My Thinking...
|
My thinking is unchanged in the overview...I still think a Mobile-ish landfall as a Strong TS looks pretty good...and if there has to be an adjustment then it would have to be to the east, but not radically so. I have faith that the NW turn will happen, if it hasn't already begun. Arlene is trying to organize, but as Clark accurately described this morning, the core structure is still somewhat disjointed and rough...if it firms up a bit and develops a coherent center, then we could see a minimal Cat 1 prior to landfall, but I think we do see some weakening prior to landfall as well.

I, too, love the bouys and have been watching this guy all day... I wanted to add to your post by putting the links to the pressure plot for this particular bouy as it is totally interesting!
Current pressure is 29.56 in Hg = 1001 mb... Still not the lowest, but getting there...
Anyone know of any sat plots that show where these silly bouys are located? I drew them on a tracking map, but, it would be nice to see them with the sat images to get a better feel for how they relate to the storm center.

Re: could it be?

RedingtonBeachGuy: central Florida is in for a fair amount of rain overnight. The threat for tornadoes will persist through the night, however, as these are not driven by daytime heating -- instead, they are driven by the dynamics, or how the wind changes direction with height as well as locally near the surface. That's just a factor of the hurricane being there, really.
Rain will be the biggest factor, yes, but tornadoes cannot be ruled out.

Re: The Arlene Situation

#29 Published Friday June 10, 2005 at 2:15 pm EDT
As of 2:00 pm EDT T.S. Arlene is moving due north at 13 mph with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph. This northerly course is a little to the right of the official NHC forecast track and is what I was alluding too yesterday while discussing the weakening of the Bermuda high pressure ridge over and east of Florida.
She is still disorganized with most of the convection E-NE of the low level center, thanks to continued SSW wind shear in association with the weakening mid level trough in the western Gulf Of Mexico region. Even with continued wind shearing she still has managed to strengthen some and could still reach minimal category 1 status before landfall. However I think she will fall just short of a hurricane with 70 mph sustained winds. What's 5 mph though. While a course turn to the NNW with a landfall near Mobile Bay sometime late on Saturday June, 11, 2005 per the official NHC forecast track is still very possible, I think that a landfall near Pensacola tomorrow evening is also increasingly possible.
Tropical storm force wind gusts, a small storm surge, heavy rainfall and destructive tornadoes (due to extra-tropical characteristics) are possible along the coast from Key West to Panama City and probable from Pensacola to Mobile Bay during the Friday-Saturday 06/10-11/05 period. Once inland flooding rains could occur across the deep south and Tennessee Valley regions.
And speaking of tornadoes they are occurring in the Florida Keys region northward along the west coast to the southern Tampa Bay region as I type.

Re: Satellite & Winds

I found it, but had to go through the colostate.edu main site to get there.... This is what I was looking for earlier, since it very much helps to see where the bouys are with respect to the storm. Only thing, the loop looks kind of freaky, since it keeps moving around....
Thanks!

Re: My Thinking...
|
I'm inclined to agree with you today. I took a long look at the upper air environment, and I don't see the ridge building in to the SE USA just yet. The 500 mb UAA at 12Z showed no height rises at all. Looking at the satellite; which chasing all those small vortices can drive you to drink; there are a few of them embedded in the overall circulation. I do note the shear is lessening as clouds are tending more to the W and SW around the low level center, but I did find one ominous sign at that's NOAA buoy 42003, just to the NW of the center. Pressure as dropped rather rapidly to 999 mbs now, but a closer look at visible satellite shows a small vorticy in the vicinty and the buoy is indicating an E; not NE winds; maybe a bubble ridge or wake from a near by thunderstorm; difficult to say at the moment. Disjiointed systems can become hurricanes, but minimal. The UL trough is still entraining dry air into her and there is considerable subsidence to her west, though the winds do appear to be backening; which will help in sustaining some strengthening if they continue to backen as she moves N. I think if Arlene can get her center up under the convection; she's in business, o/w CAT1 is plausible. 10/2023Z

Re: My Thinking...

If high pressure were building east to Florida, wouldn't the bouy 120 miles east of Port Canaveral have a pressure increase instead of a pressure decrease? They are down .04 in pressure in the last hour and although just slightly below 24 hours ago.
Or is the high pressure in the upper atmosphere?

Well i am still sticking to what i said when this thing first became classified - landfall near or just east of Mobile, AL, with sustained winds of 70 - 80 mph - strong TS / weak Cat 1.
Satellite imagery seems to show that she really is trying to get herself together, but the core remains very disorganised, with multiple LLC's still evident on the visible imagery. If only the core consolidated we could see this get stronger, stronger than currently forecast. Expect to see official Hurricane Warnings up within the next 6 to 12 hours.

Re: The Arlene Situation

#30 Published Friday June 10, 2005 at 6:00 pm EDT
At 5:00 pm EDT T.S. Arlene is now moving slightly west of north at 17 mph with maximum sustained winds of 65 mph. The NHC has now brought it's official track further east with a landfall near Pensacola, in line with my forecast. Remember that this tropical cyclone is large and disorganized and sustained tropical storm force winds with gusts to hurricane force will impact much of the Florida Panhandle coast tomorrow from about Apalachicola westward, well in advance of the cyclone center landfall.
Also as I've mentioned repeatedly flooding rainfall, a small storm surge and tornadoes are likely east of the landfall location.

Other than the tornado our county had this afternoon, it has been very mild here. It is raining.
Only thing worth mentioning is the rain is falling sideways. That became all too familiar last season. I had actually forgotten about it til today.

Re: Satellite & Winds

Clark, what up man? How are things going over there at FSU? Tell Travis I said what up, I haven't talked to him in a couple of weeks.
As far as Arlene goes, I agree it's probably 50/50 at this point. It sure looked like earlier in the day that she would get there as they were bumping the winds up with every advisory. The presentation of the storm is surely looking much better this afternoon, so I could see Arlene hitting the 75 mark rather easily if this continues. The biggest hinderance towards Arlene becoming a cane at this point is probably the forward motion (time).

Re: New Vortex...big pressure drop...

No..Arlene is not a hurricane as of this vortex message. The flight level winds are 75 kts; not the surface. They try an obtain a surface wind when they can; but most of the time it is extrapolated from winds at flight level; and depending on what FL is, depends on what percentage they lower it. Latest 11/0435Z message shows FL winds of 71 kts and they recorded a sfc wind of 57 kts; but 120NE of the center. I suspect if the center was under the convection they might have upgraded her to a CAT 1 storm; but she continues to be disjointed and convection tops have warmed considerably on past few satellite frames. What appears to be the low level center is well removed from it's upper level circulation.

11/0615Z - Arlene, new center? - MCC movg due W
|
So many centers..and now at 11/0615Z, another possible new center and it's moving due West along 27.5N. Looks like 2 distinct centers, one devoid of Tstms, the other the new MCC moving due west inside a larger cyclonic envelope. I was about to write, I'm sticking with Mobile-Pensacola, but this has me scratching my head. I don't see anything in the upper air environment to change the NNW course towards the coast...the 200mb ridge has strengthened over FL and SE USA as her outflow indicates; but 850, 700 and 500, show continued slight weakening or neutral heights over past 24 hours. I can't imagine what the NHC boys are thinking now...so many centers; which one? Safe to say, this is a storm we don't concentrate on the center; the action is well away from the center at the moment with the exception of this new development.

11/0800Z - Arlene Update - New center? MS/LA Landfall?
|
Latest RUC & satellite show Arlene may have finally gotten herself organized enough to indicate a possible new "eye"...though not a true eye, but a center. A MCC fired up and moved due W early this morning and clouds are now appearing to wrap themselves all the way around the newly developing center as of 08Z. Latest RUC confirms a NW movmt now; while GFS continues to pick up on mid level center developed from yesterdays premature analysis of a CDO. The 0435Z Vortex message verified the strongest winds were with this mid level circulation. The 0619Z message now shows max winds in NW quadrant; a change from earlier messages.
