Winds are well ahead of satellite presentation. This is a super dynamic storm. Not a convective impresser. God forbid the convection kicks up. We could see some serious RI.
18z ships: RI (kt / h) | 20/12 | 25/24 | 30/24 | 35/24 | 40/24 | 45/36 | 55/48 |65/72 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SHIPS-RII: 22.7% 54.6% 35.4% 23.1% 13.9% 25.6% 16.5% 0.0%
Borderline cat 2 in 24-30 hours.
Pretty solid odds of RI gives us 80-90 kts by tomorrow

Josh Zitko(Cimarron, NM/STL, MO) 22-Aug-20 03:21 PM
Does the presence of lightning have to do with the mixing coming from dry air?
Avatar
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE) 22-Aug-20 03:22 PM
A well mixed and moist tropical convective burst from a tropical system won't produce lightning outside of the most extreme eyewalls
The dry air entrainment into the convection help promote cooler low levels and more traditional lightning. A true tropical updraft never freezes and therefore won't produce ice or lightning

Evolution of the eyewall of #Marco over 4 fixes/4.5 hours. Had to climb from 2500ft to 5000ft literally as we were making the 1st fix bc we wanted no part of this so close to water. Pressure dropped like a rock then leveled off. Let's hope this one is not a sleeper… @53rdWRS

Alex V (Wausau, WI) 22-Aug-20 08:03 PM
His main problem currently seems to be that intense band still.
That band is intense with an insane amount of lightning and that lightning has ramped up.
That cluster of storms needs to collapse for the core to keep strengthening

New HWRF run rapidly weakens and dissipates Marco

Avatar
Alex V (Wausau, WI) 22-Aug-20 08:57 PM
Lightning activity in that storm cluster decreased a bit and it's cloud tops warmed a bit, convection seems to be trying to fire around it's core so it might be able to re-intensify again soon.
FL winds in NE pass at 55 kts but surface at 60 kts, probably will be kept at 65 mph next advisory.

It appears to be improving already since the thunderstorm cluster is deteriorating while it's throwing up more convection near the core again.
Next advisory will probably be 996/65mph
Or 997/60mph
Though the SFMR makes me think it will be kept at 65

Obvious even when looking at sat, though in the last few frames it does appear to be pulling itself together again somewhat.
Whatever happens Marco is just a player for Laura's stage anyways, what Marco does will be more of a concern with where Laura goes than Marco's impacts on land at this point. (edited)

ADT puts Marco at 61kts, so we should keep in mind that ADT for Marco (due to it's dynamics) probably has a +5-10kt margin of error. (edited)
@Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE) For that graphic is that surface level winds or aloft? Because Marco going to 90kts already would be an achievement for a storm like it.

Still a north movement but slowed some it seems (edited)

That would explain why shear is suddenly taking such a toll on it, previously it's rapid movement was aiding it against the shear.

It is not out of the question that full decoupling could happen before Marco reaches the coast and the system never makes landfall.
If this thing actually never makes landfall lol

As I said the other day, Marco is and always was just a player on Laura's stage anyways Yao
The impact of Marco was always going to be greater when it comes to Laura's positioning than what Marco does on land itself

@Sean H(Houghton,MI) fortunately neither storm looks anything like Harvey, but it never hurts to take some precautions if needed. Marco is really falling apart, but will still dump some rain.

Marco is currently racing towards the panhandle
There's a chance it could unexpectedly make landfall their fairly quickly
This isn't just a wobble, it looks to be moving Northeast

Pat Kepka (Russell Co. KS) 24-Aug-20 03:44 AM
The CDO is moving that way, but the LLC is currently SW of the convection

Garrett (Hillsdale MI) 24-Aug-20 03:45 AM
In that case, is it already decapitated/decoupled? (edited)

There’s some sort of swirl around 28.0 N 88.0 W. Not sure if that’s the center or not
Advisory 2 hours ago had it 40 miles south of that (edited)

Garrett (Hillsdale MI) 24-Aug-20 03:54 AM
Recons just entering him now so we'll see whats up
I'd expect even more weakening despite the cool cloud tops

idk if they will keep the Hurricane Warnings, the convection is really dislocated from the center now
Avatar
Garrett (Hillsdale MI) 24-Aug-20 05:01 AM
...HURRICANE WARNINGS DISCONTINUED FOR MARCO BUT DANGEROUS STORM SURGE STILL ANTICIPATED...
Data from the Hurricane Hunter plane indicate that maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Further weakening is expected, and Marco is forecast to become a tropical depression late on Tuesday and dissipate on Wednesday.

Michael Carty (Plano, TX) 24-Aug-20 06:07 AM
So now that Marco is choosing to do this , do you guys think Laura’s track will shift eastward especially as the storm pulls south of Cuba?

Laura will move west

Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE) 24-Aug-20 09:58 AM
marco will likely be a remnant low off the houston coast tuesday/wednesday, but it will still impact laura, and possibly get absorbed. this mild fujiwhara will likely putt laura a little further west than forecast

All the hype about two hurricanes in the gulf and it looks like we won’t even have two systems in the gulf now

Tropical Storm Marco has made landfall near the mouth of the Mississippi River. It is expected to become a tropical depression later tonight.

It still looks like it produced minor TS conditions at mostly uninhabited areas.
Def nothing noteworthy, just thought it was funny.

Definitely gonna be written off as post tropical asap
Yeah I like that for statistical reasons at least lol
Sixth named storm hit of the season already

Well the tropical storm winds never made landfall
The center did basically but the TS winds were in the sheared off CDO south of the Florida peninsula and Alabama
