122kts

Corresponds to 112 mph at the surface... borderline Cat-3.

[Normandy]

Yup the winds are catching up.

even lower

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

122=140 mph flight level down to 130 sea level...Maybe 125 mph.

[clfenwi]

so, adjusting the max 30 sec avg of 120 knots to the surface yields... 123 mph...

122kts

Corresponds to 112 mph at the surface... borderline Cat-3.

According to the Saffir-Simpson scale, Cat. 3 is after 111 mph. So technically, it's a cat. 3.

Ok, I know I should know this by now, but which columns are which wind measurement...

[mtm4319]

Isn't the multiplier 80% at 700mb?

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

I think its 90 percent for 700. 80 percent for 850.

[gkrangers]

Isn't the multiplier 80% at 700mb?

90 at 925
80 at 850
90 at 700

[drezee]

122 *1.154*.90 = 126 surface winds

Right. It's whether or not the 97.6-knot extrapolation will be rounded down (to 95 kt) or up (to 100 kt) that will determine cat 2 or 3.

Ok, I know I should know this by now, but which columns are which wind measurement...

The second group of three digits is the 30 second avg... the last set of three digits is the 10 sec avg...

[mtm4319]

Well, my last 5 posts in here have been pretty much all wrong. I wish I could delete them.

[gkrangers]

Ok, I know I should know this by now, but which columns are which wind measurement...

The second group of three digits is the 30 second avg... the last set of three digits is the 10 sec avg...

So 120kts is the 30 second, and 122kts is the 10 second?

That is correct, my friend.

No....it's normally 90% at 700 mb and 80% at 850 mb.

122 kts (140 mph) - 10% = 110 kts (127 mph)....IMO we now have a 110 kt cat-3 hurricane moving toward NE Mexico...and still intensifying.
