ATL: ISAIAS - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[ozonepete]

Tons of lightning in this thing

I thought that there was usually no lightning in a warm core system.

Though research is being done, it is still not well understood why some have a lot at the core and some very little.

Looks like outflow is starting to become established. Not going to write if off yet. I think another pulse of convection is likely before tomorrow morning.

Wait, what...

Outflow boundaries getting spat out again due to collapse of convection and downdrafts. Zero chance of becoming a hurricane again.

I agree, I think this is done....I mean, it's showing absolutely zero signs or organizing, and it's not as if conditions are all of the sudden going to get great for it. I think 65 mph is as strong as it will get it. It's been fun, BUT frustrating to track though...Learned that even though it's 2020, it doesn't mean that a system can magically overcome shear and dry air.......

I agree with a couple of other folks that said if this was late August/September, we'd probably be looking at a cat 3/cat 4 hurricane, because all of that dry air wouldn't be out there...

Next peak was progged to be about 4am EDT. It's on the way.

That’s what I am saying...It’s been dead calm outside. Still trying to find out the time table on TS winds commencing.

I'd be pretty surprised if recon found a coupled system when they investigate shortly.

Another burst of convection is trying to make it to the low level center, but my guess is that it's still southwest of this new convection.

I agree with that. Tops have been getting blown off to the ENE-NE all day. That's the way it went. Center might make it to shore, but I still think the bulk of the heaviest weather will mostly stay offshore for the next day and a half or so.

whoa look at the MLC blob sprint back to the southwest the last few frames, is it stacking back up???

That's crazy. I've never seen anything like that before!

Looks like most of the mid level dry air has been eroded

anyone know how to save that loop and post it? I tried to save image and post it to imgur but just comes up as the last frame

thank you! wanted others to see it when they got up later!

The center of circulation is getting much better defined the past 30 minutes. You can actually see the bands wrapping all the way around on radar. The MLC still looks to be about 20 miles off to the NNE. But it looks much healthier. https://www.sfwmd.gov/weather-radar/current-weather-conditions

could this be the anticipated warm Gulf Stream waters influence?

PTC #9 Advisory #1....Not exactly the worst initial track forecast I've ever seen...

[ColdMiser123]

Recon will also be important to see if there are any short-term deviations from guidance and the NHC track. Not only is this important for Florida impacts, but a storm offshore would result in a stronger storm farther north into the Carolinas.

Shear vectors will be much better aligned north of central Florida, and Isaias should be close to an area of favorable upper level divergence due to the jet streak to its northwest. That's why all global guidance and the hurricane models show deepening north of the Space Coast, with the HWRF/HMON now showing a hurricane at landfall on the NC/SC border.

Been awhile since we have seen the convection filling in from the south and west.

Appears a tad northeast of where the GFS had the forecast low position at 6z. GFS was 25.6 N/79.3 W, and the recon found the low level center on the southwest edge of the convection at 25.8 N/ 79.1 W.
