Well this will probably confirm that #Melissa is going to be the strongest landfalling storm ever in the Atlantic basin. Dropsonde reading of 893mb with 13kt of surface winds so reducing the pressure to 892mb.

The NOAA recon plane has found a similar extrapolated pressure of 892mb in #Melissa, however they also found the highest FL winds we have seen thus far; 173kt. This would be sufficient for an upgrade to 160kt in my opinion and following the logic used earlier.

Reading the report of Allen from 1980 makes me wonder how they got to that 165kt surface wind value? #Melissa, and many other storms have had higher FL winds than the 160kt described here. For #Melissa we have SFMR indicators up to 180kt so what should the NOAA do?

If we can agree that the raw data for hurricane Dorian was sufficient to support an official max sustained winds of 185 mph, then if we use the raw data from Melissa and apply it using the same algorithms, there is no valid argument to assign the same 185 mph MSW here. Melissa is

The 2025 Atlantic #hurricane season has now generated 127 ACE (Accumulated Cyclone Energy), making it an above-normal season per NOAA's definition. 9 of last 10 Atlantic hurricane seasons have been classified as either above-normal or extremely active: cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/outlo…

It’s worth noting that the 160kt (185mph) sonde rotated from the southern eyewall into the eastern eyewall, which is were the weakest in terms of wind speed. The strongest (northeast) was not sampled by recon, so it’s quite possible that winds here are much higher. Very

It seems like #Melissa is strengthening for a final time with the pressure now in the ~960mb range and FL winds peaking at 114kt. I think she will be upgraded to a Cat3 with the next advisory.

Dus je kunt geloven wat je wil en als jij niet met een man wil trouwen, dan doe je dat lekker niet. Maar bemoei je niet met mensen die dat wel willen. Je gaat er niet over. Punt.

When people talk about the extreme and sudden nature of storm surge, this is what they're taking about.... From earlier this evening 🌀 #typhoon #FungWong #UwanPH #Philippines Jordan Hall

Blocking me because I say that this conversation is pointless is very low man. I think you need to do something about your anger management cause this ain't scientific communication and this isn't the first time. Have fun checking all Dutch records in the future yourself 🫡
