Re: Hurricane Laura - Lowest Sea Level Pressure Guess
I mean if the Euro is showing 940 landfall... It could very well be sub 920s.
Also Cycloneye and chaser1, we should give folks a 12 more hours to vote and then lock it up so people can't cheat in 24 hours
Gonna go with a 895mb to spice things up. THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL FORECAST!

Re: Hurricane Laura - Lowest Sea Level Pressure Guess
People already took all the 930's it seems like
937 seems like a good number though, so I will second chris90 on that one

Re: Hurricane Laura - Lowest Sea Level Pressure Guess
I've gotta admit, I originally thought we'd be seeing Laura in a RI trend by now. It's structure is certainly improving but so far not close to the pace where I'd still expect to see prior low-ball HWRF forecast pressures verify.

Re: Hurricane Laura - Lowest Sea Level Pressure Guess
My guess is at risk of being too high, unfortunately.

So while Laura is probably going to get more intense than my guess, and already beat my 120kts, I said 937mb during Advisory #28 period. We’re currently in the advisory #28 period and the update from NHC has the pressure at 937mb, so I nailed that and I’m feeling real good about that forecast, even if I end up being off on peak intensity.
I’m taking the win because I don’t get them often in my amateur forecasting.
