Theres a bunch that only measure water height. I'm also wondering if they are using any Saildrones. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recon is going to be just a little behind the report too unfortunately. They are flying into the NE quadrant now. Probably be 20 mins before they get to the eye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators StretchCT Posted September 8, 2023 Moderators Share Posted September 8, 2023 As of 5am EDT this morning, Hurricane Jova was a Cat 5, later downgraded to Cat 4 at the 11am EDT update. That means we had a Cat 5 hurricane on the same day in both basins, just not at the same time, but perhaps within 12 hrs of each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators StretchCT Posted September 8, 2023 Moderators Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) Recon going into the eye from the NE had 10 sec flight level winds of 169mph and sfmr winds of 163. Min pressure 925. Then it took a hard left turn and looks like its going out the SE quadrant. Edited September 8, 2023 by StretchCT 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burr Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 And looks like they’ve turned around to give us another pass through… 929mb officially on the last run, but looked like a 925mb on the plot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1816 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 3 hours ago, Psu1313 said: This is a semi-rhetorical question and somewhat of a real question. Can Lee reach the theoretical limit for wind speed in the Atlantic? The Pacific had Hurricane Patricia at 215mph which would be virtually impossible for Lee to hit. Hurricane Allen hit 190mph in 1980 for the highest ever 1 minute wind speed in the Atlantic. With a lot of really warm water, perfect conditions, and runway, can we get there again with Lee? For anyone who is interested in some light reading, check out just about anything from Kerry Emanuel from MIT. He placed the upper limit around 190mph, though not an absolute. Intensity would increase with an increase in SST's. Most of this post is just train of thought. This seems a bit like unchartered territory and I'm just in awe. I'm putting in my prediction for 195. Only because I'm too chicken to say 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are certainly in the upper tier of direct wind measurements I've ever seen, other than upper air maps. on this graphic, 920.7mb, so perhaps the next official pressure value could be down there Edited September 8, 2023 by Chinook 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
