ATL: DORIAN - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[MacTavish]

Long time lurker here. Can someone explain why the radar does not show the rain on the east side of the eye, but does show storms in the bands the same distance away to the north, south and west of the radar station?

SE side of the core has very light precip. Dry air and shear are to blame.

961.1 on that station.

This is the most classically structured Hurricane I've seen come up this way in the 20 years I've lived here. Holding together and seems to be laughing at the sheer. Most storms up this way the eye is already clouded by now.

If that were the case case the precip wouldn't suddenly appear at the coast as it rotates into view. There's definitely some sheer, but radar would still pick precip up if it were in range.

I don’t believe that the radar can’t penetrate through.

Looks like convection is trying to deepen around the core again. Must've found a patch of warm water.

Yesterday, I think, someone posted asking for those inclined to pray, to pray for those about to feel Dorian's wrath. With much work to do (I am a teacher), I have not had time to post, but I prayed right then, and several times throughout the day and night, yesterday and today. To those who feel alone: be encouraged that you are not alone in your prayers. I know this may not matter to all, but I think it may matter for the person who asked for prayers. I know many other Floridian friends of mine continue to pray that the other states are granted a measure of the grace we have been granted.

Pressure down 5mb then? That's quite the drop this close to the coast.

Hopefully someone can chime in on this big discrepancy.

Too much precip at the Wilmington radar, range is way down.

Looks like its headed NNE.

Gonna be a close call for landfall. Eyewall brushing Wilmington soon

[tolakram]

Composite shows the motion a bit better. NE movement for now.

That's about as close as you can be the landfall without actually doing so. Wilmington has been in the eyewall for a bit now, they must be getting quite a hit.

I'm still listening (it's dark) to the frying pan ocean cam, expecting the eye to move over it any time now.

Could you please post a link? I'm sorry if it's already been posted; I did a quick search and turned out empty handed. Thank you in advance!
