Re: ATL: SAM - Hurricane - Discussion
Sam looks to be 125 kt. This means that the NHC’s 125 kt estimate for the very similar Felicia was likely spot-on, despite an extremely smooth W-ring CDO.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

Blended SFMR and FL supports 125. Probably stronger in the NE.

Hopefully they do a NE to SW pass. They might just do a N to S pass based on their current trajectory.

Big convective burst on IR!

I am by no means a professional. DO NOT look at my forecasts for official information or make decisions based on what I post.
Goal: to become a registered expert over tropical and subtropical cyclones.

Re: ATL: SAM - Hurricane - Discussion
Looks to be improving again on IR after losing some of its Wring in the NW sector. If recon sticks around for a few passes we might be able to get in-storm verification of this improvement.

Re: ATL: SAM - Hurricane - Discussion
Probably peaked an hour or two ago. Will probably restrengthen as recon heads out like Eta did last year
Figured it would be anti-climatic. NHC pretty much right on the money.

Kinda surprised that a Met at NHC isnt sure if the SFMR were fixed...
