Has anyone seen anything from Joe Bastardi’s Weatherbell yet today? It’s after 1 PM and he’s been unusually quiet.
Bastardi didn’t do a daily update video, but he is tweeting. Here’s one from 20 mins. ago:
“This should intensify quite rapidly late tonight till landfall. Already starting to ramp up. “
...and... 4 mins ago (with corrections - he can’t type worth beans):
“[i]mmense warmth with Irma demonstrated by Nassau ob[servations]. Gusts over 35, but temps of 90 with DP [dewpoint] 81. Irma should explode over [Florida] Straits”
