This is why we need unmanned drones flying in between recon flights

Would be a great supplement to the manned flights for sure, and could also be used when HH deems it too dangerous to enter into the eyewall. We can replace drones but not the folks operating the planes.

Once current mission is done next recon mission will be 8 PM.

I found this on CycloneWx:

Special recon mission sounds like and for good reason

I just can't believe this. 49 hours ago this was a TD, and it is now a Cat 5.

Eye is now perfect - a dot on the world.

This is just a crazy storm. Reminds me of Eta.

Here's why. This is a prime example of how the MJO going into unfavorable phases for nearly 3 weeks in mid August/early September was a bad thing. It allowed the Gulf and Caribbean to heat up even more allowing OHC (Oceanic Heat Content) at deeper levels. Helped Helene and now Milton.

This is what 2023 could have be without El Nino.

Federal emergency declaration for Florida ahead of Milton.

President Biden approves emergency declaration for Florida

"To save lives and to protect property and public health and safety, and to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe."

This has got to be the strongest ATL storm I've ever tracked since I began tracking in 2020.

Oh yeah, I'm sure that's normal and good.

Oh yeah, I'm sure that's normal and good.

+13°C in about 40 minutes is absurd

914.4 extrapolated pressure

914.4 extrapolated pressure

WTF

 

[warneagle]

WTF

Not only is it still intensifying, it might be intensifying *faster* than before. Absolutely wild.

[JPWX]

Sounds like NHC might be issuing a new special Update soon

Who Wants to make a bet that it reaches sub 900 by midnight?
