senorpeper - so how does that affect the storm - the loose gradient?

It allows for a lower pressure without the higher wind. Katrina was a loose-gradient storm. Her pressure was much lower than a storm of that windspeed. Charlie was the opposite, a tight gradient storm. His pressure was much higher than a storm of his wind.

The key problem with strong, loose gradient storms are higher than normal surge and wider area of impacts.

79 mph at this point inbound. The 75kts from earlier was a different pass.

79mph is not the high, but the highest inbound so far.

They're getting positioned for it.

Finally finding some higher winds.... 94 mph FL.

WindRunner · #190 Postby **WindRunner** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 4:44 pm

82kts FL, and that may not be the top in this pass as it's the last one in the set!

#191 Postby **P.K.** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 4:47 pm

Even the 30 second winds were 81kts in that reading.

Edit - 79kt 10 second winds and 78kt 30 second winds the the next set of readings.

Center penetration: VDM soon.

WindRunner · #193 Postby **WindRunner** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 4:54 pm

Vortex soon . . .

Now we're getting somewhere(with the winds).

I don't think we'll see a wind increase with the 8pm.

I don't either, but at least they've found winds to support the 80 mph now.

Not really... about 75 mph.

All I can tell you is that they will find much lower pressures. This thing looks like Katrina or Rita like with that Cdo. With colder cloud tops then them.

965 Millibars I will say!

WindRunner · #199 Postby **WindRunner** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 4:58 pm

I don't think quite that low, maybe 968 IMO.

Most likely 967-970.
