Wish this happened in the daylight.  Probably not completely clear but almost - ADT not recognizing an eye, but when it does it will spike.

Sunset shot with lightning overlay.  A bunch just went off over the center.

Not many people probably even care but I’m a wrestling fan, and NXT and the WWE performance center for the WWE is in Orlando, Florida and they’re just causally having their normal Tuesday night television show. I know Orlando is only in outer bands but Florida is built different man 😂

Yea if we can see this maintain a solid structure and solid convection around it for the last 6 hours wouldnt be surprised if we spike to cat 4 levels just before landfall. 

Definitely agree with that landfall location NHC has. May see an explosion of storms on the east side coming up which will wobble this east.

Yeah sure, for you it was a category 3 tropical cyclone. 

 

For Florida it was just Wednesday.

Mission 12 almost through another pass.  Not impressive winds on the NW side but noting that the hdob is down 3mb in the last 1:10.

Will edit when dropsonde data is posted. 

Drop was a dirty 962.

Yeah brother that eye is clean. Clean and tight. If anything there's sideways rain in the bottom of it. 

I expect to see that green dot clear out to blues or even whites in the next few minutes/hours… wrapping up and cleaning out the eye.

They're running out of messages that they have at their disposal. Might have to break out a winter storm watch just to try it out with all the other messages they're sending. 😛

There's gonna be a bunch of warnings for these tornados  here overnight  I'm afraid. Nighttime tornados in a place where they are rare is always a bad scenario.
