#TD8 continues to look healthier on satellite imagery. The lunchtime recon mission showed hints of a contracting vortex at the end, but we will need to wait until the next mission at ~6:00pm CDT to see if the circulation is truly tightening, which would be a strong indicator....

Looks like one of those sprawling monsoon trough depressions. Incredibly impressive but just gotta work on core a lil before it starts exploding... good thing it doesn't have much time
Avatar
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE) 23-Jul-20 05:22 PM
she's have about 48 hours before landfall. with an RI of 1.3kt/hr she could make it to 90kts. but that would be on the high-end of RI rates (harvey). WISC microwave data still not workign so i have nothing to compare to (edited)
found the UCAR ships data. 25kts/24hrs is at 22% which OK but not great. logistical models are showing some warning signals for RI at 48% for 25/24 and 41% of 55/48
so ships is giving it a 2-4* odds of normal for RI, which is pretty good

Zachary S (Jasper, AL) 23-Jul-20 05:40 PM
Gonna be ironic if Hanna is our first hurricane instead of Gonzalo but could definitely see it if the core consolidates, upper level environment seems to be phenomenal

The uppers levels are amazing. Moisture is great. Near zero shear. All that's needed is time for this baby. If anything was gonna oops into a hurricane this year it would be this thing

The question is whether or not these winds are also down at the surface, they may be lagging behind a bit. (edited)

I can see a Cat 1 or low end Cat 2 on landfall depending if it RIs or not
Cat 1 is definitely possible.
If you ask me it could make landfall as an 80 mph C1
Just my guess though

TJ (Houston/Galveston TX) 23-Jul-20 11:24 PM
Galveston floods after 1 inch of rain, but even after Harvey, most of the flooded roads cleared in a few hours. Inland bayous are screwed after 4 inches....but that flooding happens anytime we get a freak summer thunderstorm

What are we looking at in terms of storm surge from Hanna?
Avatar
Alex V (Wausau, WI) 24-Jul-20 12:28 AM
Probably minimal to moderate, it is an average sized system but the winds are low in most areas and the area of TS winds currently has a rather small fetch, there is also the factor that it probably won't have time to build up a huge surge. Still could be large enough to impact low lying areas by the coast, around 4-6ft of surge is what I would guess, but I am not an expert. (edited)

Alex V (Wausau, WI) 24-Jul-20 06:47 AM
Hanna has had a pretty massive blowup over the past couple hours
Avatar
Jaden L. (Topeka, KS) 24-Jul-20 07:40 AM
There was a buoy that gusted over 50 and apparently hurricane hunters that gathered gusts over 50 as well so this might be bumped to 50 in the intermediate advisory
Avatar
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE) 24-Jul-20 08:23 AM
Surprised she didn't get stronger overnight. looks like there was some shear from the N that was not forecast, and mid levels were a little drier than expected
Those should both slow down her potential RI for a little
Avatar
Alex V (Wausau, WI) 24-Jul-20 08:33 AM
IDK dude, given the current convective action I can still see an RI happening, just with a delayed start
Avatar
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE) 24-Jul-20 08:33 AM
Nhc looking at 4-8" with isolated 12". That area is much drier than the last time they got a storm. So runoff will be unpredictable

Alex V (Wausau, WI) 24-Jul-20 08:33 AM
Lots of pinks currently
Avatar
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE) 24-Jul-20 08:34 AM
Yeah she's trying to RI. But it's a fight. I thought she would be 60kts by this morning if we had a good RI.
Maybe tonight. She should take a break during the day
Avatar
Alex V (Wausau, WI) 24-Jul-20 08:46 AM
According to the NHC's discussion they are being a bit on the conservative side until they have data Recon later this morning, it very well may be a moderate to strong TS currently. (edited)
Avatar
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE) 24-Jul-20 08:48 AM
this morning's SHIPS was not impressive. 36% of 25mb/24hrs was the best output. down from last night. and no higher numbers. the models are pulling back a little until it gets a better fit. the core being a mess is the issue
Avatar
Alex V (Wausau, WI) 24-Jul-20 08:49 AM
Recon should give us a better picture, but I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be 50 kts

Pat Kepka (Russell Co. KS) 24-Jul-20 08:53 AM
You can see a ship reporting 45-50 kts wind near the center

Alex V (Wausau, WI) 24-Jul-20 09:01 AM
The shear appears to be from a stationary front in the Eastern US, though the front is decaying steadily and shear should relax a bit, it's doing well given the conditions, imho. (edited)
I've seen a lot sloppier stuff in the gulf at this time of year
GFS is being derpy and strengthens it significantly after landfall
Avatar
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE) 24-Jul-20 09:06 AM
the GFS is doing that because of the baroclinic instability of a storm makign a sudden run up to 6000 ft elevation /w 5000+ cape surrounding it. it's turning it into a hyrbird MCS as it destroys itself over the mountains
another reason why GFS its great for pathing ensembles, not so great for intensity forecasts
Avatar
Alex V (Wausau, WI) 24-Jul-20 10:23 AM
The Overseas Houston is reporting a solid 35 kts but it is a bit away from the center. The Pacific Sharav is closer to the center but got no report from it. (edited)
Needless to say the windfield is expanding

45 kt and 999 mb if this is correct.
@Pat Kepka (Russell Co. KS) I can see that since it's smack dab in the middle of the sector with the most convection, recon should sample that area.

I know the NHC is playing it conservatively but ship and recon reports support more than 45 mph

Pat Kepka (Russell Co. KS) 24-Jul-20 11:03 AM
Apparently the ship reports are from nearly 100 meters above the surface
Avatar
Alex V (Wausau, WI) 24-Jul-20 11:04 AM
That's still really close to the surface
This is probably a good 50 mph at least (edited)
Recon SFMR estimates 46 kts at the surface on the pass of the eastern quadrant.
The two ship reports, even if somewhat elevated, support this.
Recon is also showing a rapidly expanding windfield, which could become a cause for surge concern if it does become a hurricane. I'm still not expecting anything crazy or historic, but still enough surge might be possible from this to cause notable impacts if it does reach C1 intensity. (edited)

Most recent Microwave imaging shows #Hanna has almost completely surrounded its center of circulation with convection. If it can complete that sooner rather then later it has the potential to 'overachive' current NHC wind forecasts. https://t.co/t9SMkq1DKi

Cameron (Fortson, GA) 24-Jul-20 05:45 PM
Microwave imagery verifies what we been seeing all day today on the IR and VIS satellites for Tropical 🏝 Storm #Hanna. An inner core of strong convection wrapped around the center of circulation has developed. #HurricaneSeason2020

A buoy also reported 50-55 kts quite a bit aways from the center too.
This is looking more likely to landfall as a hurricane.

One other comment. The most recent Vortex Data Message (#VDM) sent by @NOAA_HurrHunter in their #Hanna center fix also showed improved structural organization. They reported a formative circular eyewall, though still open to the west.

The Hurricane Warning has been extended southward to Port Mansfield Texas. The Tropical Storm Warning has been extended northward to High Island Texas. The government of Mexico has issued a Tropical Storm Warning north of Barra el Mezquital to the Mouth of Rio Grande.
They still only have peak as 75
That is very conservative considering
"The peak intensity could be higher than what is shown in the intensity forecast below since landfall is expected to occur between the 12 and 24 h forecast times"

Ok let's take bets. What's the landfall pressure
Low end models say 985. Hwrf says 975. We got a NAM at 965. "Don't use nam for hurricanes" they said. Then it nailed Dorian's pressure and track. So it earned a spot.

We are seeing a normal, steady intensification process where the pressure is falling by about .5-1 mb/h. We are also seeing an eye forming. Hanna would not be intensifying like this is dry air was being entrained into the center. See Georges in 1998 for a real dry air intrusi...

We would expect recon to trail Dvorak in a storm that is under RI. Convection leads pressure, pressure leads wind. So the dvoarky now is what could recon in 6-12 hours (edited)
So if we landfall at 975, that's a borderline cat 2.

Eyewall is huge and hasn't tightened up yet. Think of it like a reserve transition to extra tropical

It's going to have more time over water if it slows down more and there's the weird baroclinic thing that models have been predicting which will help it strengthen. It might maintain strength inland a bit before rapidly decaying. The dry air over NM might help stop it from being a massive flooder but it's still set to keep strengthening steadily and bringing coastal impacts and inland wind impacts. (edited)

yup, the storm is still not mature enough to get the winds out to the proper radii, if this had been in the gulf for another 1-2 days it would have a much larger more mature wind field

this storm is behaving alot more like a WPAC system than an atlantic system, and most automated systems are built around atlantic analysis, so its rough on us

Yeah, Atlantic systems tend to be neatly wrapped around the center while WPAC systems are broad.

Although the deep-layer vertical wind shear is expected to remain out of the north-northwest to north at about 20 kt, the relatively large and stable eye, along with the expected convective vigor of the hurricane, could result in a little more strengthening just before landfall occurs.

Avatar
Blaine K. (Pocatello, ID) 25-Jul-20 11:06 AM
Think time will really be the difference, but we'll see what happens
The aircraft measured a peak 700-mb flight-level wind speed of 77 kt, which equates to about 69 kt at the surface. During the past hour, Doppler velocities have sharply increased with numerous patches of 85-90 kt between 7000-8000 ft common in the northern eyewall. Although these values would typically correspond to surface winds of about 75 kt, the Doppler velocity are occurring in low reflectivity regions of 25-30 dBZ, so the full effect of those winds are likely not reaching the surface. This could be why the highest SFMR surface wind observed by the aircraft was only 63 kt. The initial intensity has been increased to 70 kt, which is a blend of the aircraft flight-level, radar, and SFMR surface wind speed estimates.
I thought SFMRs looked off

VAD at CC has 80kt winds at 10kt feet
that's well away from the eye wall, so those 120KT estimates in the eye wall at 10k feet were not a bad forecast. they just aren't mixign down well
now that the eye is closing up, i would expect some of those higher gusts to mix down to the surface. we might sneak in cat 2 just before landfall

Gusting to 60 in the eye of the storm. Should be a fun drive through the north eyewall to get back to the house. Fun storm!
