Raptor Witness Posted August 25, 2020 Author #27 Share Posted August 25, 2020 A direct hurricane strike on Houston, right now would help accelerate the coronavirus. It’s a potential worst case scenario, coupled with this virus. “The Earth is putting on her armor, and her sword reaches to the sun.” - https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/topic/298194-2016-atlantic-hurricane-season/?do=findComment&comment=5929551 https://flic.kr/p/z6AZRf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor Witness Posted August 25, 2020 Author #28 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Source It’s just barely visible but it looks like we have the beginnings of an inner core, which should result in an eye wall, with Laura. Every hour that the basic machinery of a hurricane is in place, increases the chances of a Cat 4-5 system. Comparing this to the best example I’ve ever seen of rapid intensification in the Gulf of Mexico, which was Katrina, I’m not very impressed. The key difference being a super intense, almost fluid-type symmetry. It’s still could happen, but first the machinery needs to be in place and it’s not yet. Hurricane Michael is another good example in the Gulf of Mexico. We don’t have the symmetry we did with Katrina but we definitely see the eventual formation of this almost liquid-type of eruption, once the mechanics are in place.

Raptor Witness Posted August 26, 2020 Author #29 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Laura is easily breathing out of all four corners, which is rare in the Gulf of Mexico. She is also now very symmetrical, which sets the stage for the next phase ..... a curious, liquid-type of intensification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor Witness Posted August 26, 2020 Author #33 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I don’t know if there’s time for an eye replacement cycle before landfall, and if the eye contracts just a little bit, we will be looking at another crushing cat 5. I wonder what the record is for U.S. landfalling CAT 5 hurricanes in a single term presidency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can’t seem to find the eye, inside the beast, and are too afraid to crawl outside its mouth to look for it. Jim Cantore is priceless, as always.

Raptor Witness Posted September 13, 2020 Author #40 Share Posted September 13, 2020 According to Levi’s forecast last night, Sally’s vertical alignment this early on Sunday is very bad news for U.S. The upper level low over South Carolina has completely backed off, and is no longer shearing baby Sally. As a result, we’re now seeing what looks like rapid intensification way earlier than the major models forecasted yesterday. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor Witness Posted September 13, 2020 Author #41 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) Sally’s starting to look a lot like Harvey, and Florence, with this dreadful stall routine. I got 3’ of water inside my residence from Florence, so I remember it well. My suspicion is, the atmospheric models don’t take into account all the extra cloud condensation nuclei from the unusual number of active wildfires in the western U.S. Thus, Sally will mark the rare collision between two fires, smoke from these record U.S. forest fires, with an atmospheric fire on the ocean.

Raptor Witness Posted September 14, 2020 Author #42 Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) It looks like Sally may have just inhaled some of that marijuana smoke, growing in those Western National Forests. Two more days before landfall? Two more days of rapid intensification? The convection already has that curios flowing liquid look, and she’s still just a baby. This is just 30 minutes of growth tonight.... with all 4 quadrants feathering out. Source Edited September 14, 2020 by Raptor Witness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eye Forming, and an interesting and sudden change in the direction and speed with the 1 AM advisory. Last report at 11 PM said WNW at 8 mph. So the European Model appears to be winning the race tonight. I was just thinking about that the other day as I watched the weather channel. Who had the more accurate model the US or Europeans? Looking at last year’s forecast, the European model did do better, especially when we were one to two days out from the storm. That’s according to the National Hurricane Center forecast verification report. According to the Washington Post, it's because the European model is considered computationally more powerful. That’s thanks to raw super computer power and the math behind the model. https://www.khou.com/article/weather/american-versus-european-weather-model/285-801286a0-a7a5-4044-a24c-86b3b0166e09 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor Witness Posted September 15, 2020 Author #49 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Sally is ingesting quite a bit of dryer air off the continent tonight, and has weakened a little, down to a 90 mph system. Pressure remains at 986, and movement is West at 3 mph. She is still feeding as far south as the northern Caribbean, so it’s not over yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
