Big *** tornadoes with this thing. So crazy because you need shear for supercells, and you need no shear for hurricanes. Getting the worst of both. That's the rotation of cells interacting with the friction of the land, coupled with an active jet.. It's another angular momentum thing. No surprise e...

Cpv17 unfortunately that weakening came too little to late, storm surge will still be at cat 5 levels This is what I don’t understand. How’s that possible when it’s a Cat 3? Love to know the science behind that. Guessing it has something to do with all the momentum that was already built up from wh...

Wedge tornadoes - that's not a site you want to see. Hope everyone there stays safe.

or not.

Still looks like the mouth of Tampa Bay to Sarasota.

Looks like it...

It should be interesting to see if HWRF and HAFS models drift south at 18z and 0z.

This is basically a wedge EF5 tornado with a 4 mile wide donut hole. Hand of God stuff.

Mother of God….

200 mph tonight. Imagine a 4/5 hour EF4 tornado.

Wxman57s thoughts I'm expecting weakening prior to landfall. Hurricane force sustained wind (75-85 mph) may extend inland just past Tampa. Wind gusts 120-140 mph possible. The most vulnerable part of most homes is the garage door, particularly double-wide doors. During Ike, I set our big garbage bi...

175 mph

The GOM is bathwater and there's no shear yet.

Milton, despite the name, is a Beast. It's a CAT5 in reality 155 mph and rising 933 mb and dropping on the pressure.

Guys and gals, I'm officially starting the pursuit of my meteorology degree with Mississippi State University. Possibly Spring 2025, Likely Fall 2025. Waiting to see which credits will transfer (if any) from my Bachelor's Degree (Microbiology) from LSU and my Doctorate Degree. I was an O-3 in the U...

The weather here has some large temp swings. We've been having daily highs in the low to mid 90's during the daytime.But overnight/early morning the temps have been dropping into the upper 50's. Ah the dry air of the lands west of 35 or 281 depending on personal takes of delineation (also much less...

Feeder bands on stun. Kirk out.

While Yucktober largely continues unabated, ironically NE breeze advection courtesy of Milton and Don's vibes have lowered the DP to about 60°F. Doesn't feel as bad vs. this morning...although were still at 92°F. Despite more Texarrakis weather I bought 2 bags of fungicide in preparation for Brown P...

Milton is ahead of schedule. Even if the trough in the eastern Gulf weaknes it, the strength should be CAT3 with CAT4/5 momentum like Katrina

Kind of weird seeing where Milton is forming and then seeing all the models saying Florida instead of Texas/Louisiana. That's actually a common direction storms take in the gulf in the month of October (even when they develop in the western gulf). Due to the westerlies storms move northeast towards...
