Hurricane Hurricane Milton

According to TropicalTidbits, there's a NOAA plane currently flying thru Milton with AF Recon enroute.
 
Is tropical tidbits struggling for y'all? I assume the site is dealing with a lot of traffic but I cannot pull up anything besides the homepage.
Not just Tropical Tidbits, even the NOAA National Hurricane Center site is struggling with all the traffic. Currently brings me to a "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable" error.

...and in a startling coincidence, my internet went out right as I was about to post this originally.
 
NHC site just went caput for me as well.

Yeah it just dropped like a rock for me. Nerds moving in herds!

For those looking for updating Sat images, SSEC is still up. Not sure I've ever seen those shades of pink before.

I wouldve uploaded the radar loop, but TalkWeather refuses to because the file is too large. Great.
Got the gif working. Will be posting true color in like a minute.

Neither can afford the really good stuff, to be fair.
 
Hurricane warnings all the way into Orlando. Hurricane watches for the east coast, including Daytona Beach, Jacksonville and the Space Coast. All of Florida outside the Panhandle under some kind of tropical advisory.

Looks like he's growing another supplemental blob. Those are interesting to me - in general, but particularly in relation to this storm, as it is happening out in front of where Milton will be passing with it moving east.

I'm wondering if these blobs are acting like a shield and/or making the environment it'll be headed into more moist/conducive for intensification. We saw it with Matthew and other recent powerful systems over the last few years.
 
TURN AROUND!
