touching moment

Expected 60kt but can't say I entirely saw that coming lol
15/5/1 now
(though 2 of those 5 lasted like 6 hours as a cane)

I think they went a little generous
Interesting to see if it stays in the TCR

I don’t even think it’s a hurricane anymore based on the last recon pass
Even if it was one

Max level decoupling

Nearing landfall
And increasingly organizing convective pattern

Such an indecisive storm with its stacking. There's probably hurricane winds in there somewhere
Alex V (Wausau, WI)03-Sep-20 08:02 AM
It probably became a hurricane due to coastal convergence, weakened rapidly right after landfall.
Zachary S (Jasper, AL)03-Sep-20 09:02 AM
The buoy reports and coastal measurements of surprisingly high end TS winds and pressures well below 1000 may lend credence to it indeed briefly being such
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE)03-Sep-20 09:03 AM
hurricane that cosplayed as a TS? or a TS that cosplayed as a cat1?
Pat Kepka (Russell Co. KS)03-Sep-20 09:12 AM
Buoy had 65 mph sustained winds so gives a little more to it being a cat. 1 if one assumes undersampling
Zachary S (Jasper, AL)03-Sep-20 10:49 AM
Yeah actually getting a buoy sustained wind that high in a storm with such a tiny max wind radius is highly impressive since measuring winds anywhere near max sustained is quite rare
Pat Kepka (Russell Co. KS)03-Sep-20 10:56 AM
Well nana has survived half the trek across Central America/Mexico
Zachary S (Jasper, AL)03-Sep-20 10:59 AM
That movement speed is surely helping, halfway cross Guatemala already
