It still hasn't undergone an eye replacement cycle yet, has it?


Last I checked around 6am, it was undergoing an EWRC. It's going to lose strength during it, those can last a day or two before the new eyewall is fully set. Over water that shallow and warm, and gearing up to plug into the Gulf Stream, rapid intensification is a strong possibility. Later overnight/early tomorrow is going to give the best idea of what to expect.

Before I forget, I've been watching a news channel out of the Bahamas while they're still able to broadcast, I think they're in Freeport. If it interests anyone, here you go:

NOAA gets it's hurricane info from the Navy.
Naval Research Laboratory Monterey IS THE Standard.

So, not Monterey? With the hurricane data from NOAA, I could make a graphic too. But there's no point because it's right there on the NOAA website.


The forecast is from NOAA, not the navy.

This is a wrong statement:


NOAA gets it's hurricane info from the Navy.

The forecast is from NOAA and, as I said, it calls for gradual weakening.

Not solely it doesn't. It's run by the National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, which is part of the Department of Commerce. Ultimately, the NHC collaborates with others. They do that with a lot of branches relating to Environment & with the military.

Isn't a forecast based on information?

I think the Navy gathers information and forwards it to NOAA who makes the forecast.

Not always. That'd be like saying the buoys here in Lake Michigan are all military buoys. They're not. NOAA gets their data (be it sat, buoy, ship station rigs, etc) from a lot of sources, not just the Navy.

Edit: If you're interested, here's a list of data categories from NOAA:

NOAA gets information from a lot of places. Satellites, ships at sea (including Navy ships), surface observations, aircraft, weather balloons.

But it's pretty clear that Violater was talking about the forecast, since that was what his post was about.

No they don't. NOAA is separate from the Navy.The Navy more often than not uses NOAA for weather guessing. Ex Navy here.

Given how poorly the Navy's hurricane computer model performs, I would not trust their forecasts.

I don't think it's going to come onshore.

The forecast track keeps Dorian offshore of Florida. Currently he is stationary which makes narrowing down the exact track much more difficult.

The NHC shifted their forecast slightly east this evening based on computer guidance models shifting a little east. This is good news for Florida but way to early to sound the all clear.

My concern is there is a chance the storm could taken a brief westward track before being picked up by the next trough making it come closer or perhaps striking Florida.

Seems like TABS is the only model that brings the storm ashore in Florida. TCLP has it grounding in Georgia at 85kts, HWFI in S. Carolina at something under 78 kts. Looks like it's going to pick up speed as it moves out of the Bahamas.

Pretty well guaranteed that most of the Florida coast is going to get tropical storm force winds, at least.

My thinking was that it takes a pretty tough and specialized plane (and pilot!) to gather data from inside a hurricane. Knowing that, it wouldn't surprise me that they use Navy planes, possibly with NOAA equipment, to get the direct data on the hurricanes. I don't doubt that other weather data that would affect steering would be pretty much NOAA.

I don't have any first-hand knowledge of this, but it certainly makes sense. I know NASA coordinates with the military to get the use of their equipment when needed.

The hurricane hunters are crewed by Air Force Reserves and NOAA personnel mostly.

And all of them are nuts.

USAFR 53d WRS

The Air Force Reserve 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, the world's only operational military weather reconnaissance unit, is based at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi; most weather recon flights originate there. The term "hurricane hunters" was first applied to its missions in 1946.

The 53d WRS hurricane hunters operate ten Lockheed WC-130J aircraft, which fly directly into hurricanes, typically penetrating the hurricane's eye several times per mission at altitudes between 500 feet (150 m) and 10,000 feet (3,000 m).

NOAA Hurricane Hunters

The civilian and NOAA Corps crew members of the NOAA Hurricane Hunters, until recently based at the Aircraft Operations Center at MacDill AFB, in Tampa, Florida, mainly perform surveillance, research, and reconnaissance with highly instrumented aircraft including airborne Doppler weather radar measurements in both Atlantic and Pacific storms.

They fly two Lockheed WP-3D Orion aircraft, heavily instrumented flying laboratories modified to take atmospheric and radar measurements within tropical cyclones and winter storms, and a G-IV Gulfstream high-altitude jet above 41,000 feet (12 km) to document upper- and lower-level winds that affect cyclone movement. The computer models that forecast hurricane tracks and intensity mainly use G-IV dropsonde data collected day and night in storms affecting the United States
