Hurricane Irma Live Thread
NHC/NOAA ^ | NHC/NOAA | NHC/NOAA

Posted on 09/04/2017 2:02:19 PM PDT by NautiNurse

While thoughts and prayers are with our Texas FRiends and neighbors, we are at the peak of the Atlantic Tropical Storm season. Hurricane Irma continues its trek from Cape Verde across the pond and toward the Hebert Box (see below). People with interests in the Southeastern U.S. and Gulf of Mexico should be alert to the forecast path updates for this powerful storm. It is important to note that the average NHC track errors are about 175 and 225 statute miles at days 4 and 5, respectively.

Hurricane Irma originally had a small wind field. In the past 24 hours, however, the wind field has expanded with hurriance force winds up to 40 miles from the center, and tropical storm force winds up to 140 miles from the storm center.

FL Governor Rick Scott reminds Floridians: Families should take time today to make sure you have a disaster plan and fully-stocked Disaster Supply Kit. Florida residents from West Palm Beach to Tampa Bay are heeding the alert. Store shelves are emptying of bottled water.

Lesson learned from Hurricane Mathew. Leave your home and go elsewhere to a safe place.

Working out from the eye, tallest convection spiral begins at 1 o’clock. Winds all the way around, 360, then around again to 9 o’clock.

That’s today’s...production. Symmetrical, a large area of laminar flow, no turbulence or friction, over warming water.

Wonder what happens next?

My thinking as well. Thread the needle between cuba and florida and then it’s pick a port...any port...

You are an old pro, emphasis on “pro”. In a couple of days we'll know the path. Chickenhearted me will have my niece and her dog out of the State, so my Sis won't be mad if Ft. Lauderdale is hit. God Speed to all in FL. Irma looks mighty mean.

My daughter is in Miami in the Redlands. Her in-laws were there during Andrew and were fortunate to survive. Whenever it looks like a bad one is coming they head north. I’m sure they will be boarding up and heading north soon.

E-W track leaves an Irma-wide swath of roads blocked by fallen trees, coast to coast.

S-N track means a Florida wide swath of tree blocked roads, from Jacksonville to the Everglades.

If the eye passes over much of the Dominican Republic or Cuba it could be weakened. Cuba is 735 miles long and if it tracked along half of it...

Looks like Rush won’t be abandoning the EIB Southern Command until he finishes Friday’s Show.

Good morning. Headed to the office to wrap up and plan on sending everyone home early.
