Oh it's the 3km NAM lol sure why not

it’s really funny. these are all for Wednesday Zulu time, (so Tuesday late afternoon/evening). it shows up in view of the model at 1003 drifts down to 965 over 12 hours then:
00z: 972
01z: 965
02z: 956
03z: 933
04z: 908
05z: 880
06z: 874

seems legit, lockitin.

sorry to disappoint the hypercane fans though, they’d go down to like 700 hPa. hurricane Wilma has the record for the Atlantic basin at 882 hPa, the worldwide record is typhoon tip at 870 hPa.

That scenario looks really similar to how Katrina hosed up New Orleans, by just hanging out near the city for a long while instead of actually hitting the coast and rapidly losing power.

I feel like that's the first one that's done that. I would be incredibly surprised if it did that exactly. Usually when I have looked at the Euro it's dipping into the west coast and crossing the peninsula.

Oh so it's actually worse than H? I assumed hitting Cuba weakened it and turned it to uh Medium or something

I guess Cuba is too skinny for it to really have an impact on the strength of the hurricane then

Cuba has some solid mountains but usually it’s the eastern part of the island that will slow down storms

It’s not like the big island of Hawaii where Mauna Loa can just eat a tropical storm

There was a lot of uncertainty and wobbling in this forecast, so only two days to evacuate or less. get the gently caress out of tampa tonight if you can, roads will be a complete shitshow tomorrow

Dearest Tampa
I love your many bays
Your shopping centers

You're an ugly lady but a solid one
Tarpon Springs is pretty cool

Hopefully everything works out and old Tampa doesn't get sponged off the map

Will you stop going crazy in there?
It seems like maybe it's worthwhile to raise some alarms even when there's still a lot of uncertainty in the forecast, especially when you're talking about major cities. But I guess that would mean worrying about things or not always assuming that everything will work out so it's probably a bad idea.

it's very funny to me that so far my experience has been that it seems like either forecast models don't include any effects from the mauna's, or that they do it incorrectly. it always projects that hurricanes are gonna move through them with little effect and then the volcanoes devour the storm and we just get some rain

oh i have a real question: where can i get satellite or nextrad weather maps from a time that isn't within the past 72 hours? even maps going back a week or a month would be cool, and i can't even find those. i'd love to be able to pull up the measurements from years ago too, there's one hurricane that i distinctly remember was supposed to smash honolulu as like a cat 4 (which would be the end of honolulu) but then it just, stopped spinning. just came to a complete halt as it passed the big island, and we just got rain clouds.

At least for the West Indies, the GFS and Euro do a reasonable job of tropical systems interacting with mountains, but it still is one of those bifurcation points that can cause major model inconsistency. Irma was a real good example of this.

I don't know if there are sites that save long histories of radar in general. For old tropical systems though, I bet you can find some saved radar loops on the storm2k.org forums in the relevant archived storm thread. Although there are significantly less posts on systems that aren't gulf or atlantic threats.
