Today I learned the dropsounds are biodegradable non recoverable disposable measurement units. Why did I not know that already?

Allen might have had 190 MPH but at least it weakened to a low end Cat 3 when it hit south Texas. I think only fervent prayer at this point can Melissa weaken to a low end Cat 3 before it hits Jamaica.

HH found pressure of 902 MB. Sub 900 is within reach now and cpuld happen in the next hour or two if it continues to intensify.
902 mb 180 mph sustained winds.

I fully suspect a 180mph upgrade at the next advisory.
Kermit dropped two dropsondes in the NNW eyewall - both were still at 175mph. Consistently wrapped.

Yeah. Had there been multiple tropical systems moving thru the Caribbean already this season, I would have questioned it. But that's not the case.

thats absurdity, whp physics gunned this sucker from wpac this kind of thing just doesn't happen here like wth
Looks like it's beginning a very slight northeastward turn. But with how wobbly it is, I'm not willing to call it a full on turn yet.

It’s so perfect it’s weird looking. Like a Halloween stunt or cartoon character. It doesn’t look normal. Idk

Also I'm fairly certain this is the longest a major Atlantic Hurricane has gone on without a disruptive full EWRC.
