ATL: IGOR - Ex Hurricane - Discussion

[brunota2003]

It looks like they might get 48 hours (or more) of tropical storm force winds and higher...that is a scary thought!

Agree! The anxiety is building

[plasticup]

945 mbar.
90 knots.
Weird.

[cpdaman]

any pro-mets around the board have any updates on the impending track of igor.

could she be moving further left than anticipated.

Here is a zoomed map I made of NHC Advisory #42 forecast track:



And another map I made of the Wind Field:

[cpdaman]

nice graphics weatherguy

anyone have a good link to a recently (i.e last 45min) satelite shot

ramdis isn't updating and nhc.noaa.gov is slow

[brunota2003]

Try this: http://weather.msfc.nasa.gov/GOES/

[brunota2003]

50.5 knots winds at this buoy as Igor approaches it:
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=41049

Strongest 1-min sustained winds were 55.6 knots thus far. Highest wave heights were 38.7.

>>Advisory #42

Give credit to KWT a while back for speculating that Igor could be an "ACE raker."

[brunota2003]

No problem!

that is some really good work weatherguy, keep it up

[cpdaman]

it would appear to me igor turned more northerly or NNW in the last couple hours.

[Ptarmigan]

945 mbar.
90 knots.
Weird.

Igor had a central pressure of 939 mb and 110 mph winds. That is like Ike because of their massive size.

[cpdaman]

yup he wants to be just like ike.

seas are most impressive with this storm sort of like ike....ike brought storm surge to the entire gulf of mexico....that was an eye opener.

I will be awaiting Igor's swell's at the ocean on monday w camera

[weatherguy2]

Except Igor is much bigger:
Map I made to measure the size

That map of Ike is incorrect I believe, as hurricane force winds (sustained) did not make it west of downtown Houston and didn't make it east of the TX/LA Border. Even still that is a large area of coastline to receive hurricane conditions.

i think alot of times the hurricane force winds "extend outward" is more like the "furthest POSSible sustained hurricane winds " ....extend up to xyz miles.

I remember hurricane wilma in S. FL raked far south florida up thru fort pierce a very wide swath was cut with hurricane force winds...just a beast moving thru.

[weatherSnoop]

He have not heard from any of the hunters...just wondering what they are doing!
