Ivan: Landfalling as a Cat 4 Burst! Radar Link

#1 Postby Clint_TX » Wed Sep 15, 2004 12:13 pm

Based on the last few ir frames, Ivan is undergoing the beginning of a major intensification.

God be with those on the coast.

He still has some dry to face so he probably won't become a Cat 5 again but strong 3 moderate 4 seems most reasonable imo.

Sorry to jump your post. I saw it and went right to the board.

Hang out, could just be a cosmetic occurrence that will average out to maintaining 135mph...

No prob...I've only been doing this for 15 years, so maybe I can learn something, there is more to my reasoning than I posted...i.e. outflow channels, sw interaction, and the rebound from a dry air intrusion...

Anybody think there is a chance for a NW "wobble" at landfall due to land interaction like at Jamaica and Grand Cayman?

Does anyone know what effect the relatively cooler river water and river current at the MS river delta will have on Ivan?

Yeah it's possible with the shortwave being so far to Ivan's NW

Hi Clint - could you give a layman's version of how that shortwave might impact Ivan's movement?

Looks like he's putting his game face back on...just when I thought he was going to weaken.

Yeah, can anybody explain why it looks more west of north on sat than on radar?

What's up with these storms rapidly instensifying before Landfall? Alex, Charley, Ivan....the only one that didn't was Frances.

I am not real experienced with hurricane watching, but I wondered why there has been so little discussion (i.e. the Weather Channel) about the similarities with Camille. Thread here anywhere about that?
