Well that didn't take long. #Lee has gone from a 75mph hurricane 24 hours ago to a 130mph beast. Likely another cat5 on the way... Almost a double rapid intensifier. Impressive to say the least. Still much to be watched into next week as steering sets up. Any potential direct

This is deeply troubling. NWS forecasters don't just come in and put a forecast together. They make processes for all forecasters so much better. I encourage you to read @mammatusman last forecast discussion he wrote to see how deep this cut really is. This is just one

It cannot be understated the threat #helene poses across the southeastern United States just based on current intensity projections. There doesn’t appear to be any wiggle room on the downside either. This will be a historic storm for many including southern Appalachia with

As I sign off for the night #Milton continued to attempt another sub 900mb run within ~24 hours of landfall. This storm has everything going for it as it continues to push out Cat5 storm surge with a guaranteed expanding wind field expected at landfall to push that surge into

This is horrible news for numerical weather prediction in this country. The data that comes from these key parts of our weather enterprise saves lives. DOGE moves to cancel NOAA leases on key weather buildings

Jaw-dropping #Milton has its only escape route being the west central coast of Forida. Still a Cat5 160mph beast with a pressure of 907mb as of 5am NHC advisory. Incredible.

Wild how Miltons eye has constricted back down to 7 miles wide. Highly unusual! What a powerhouse.

Focus on the surge NOT the category!

A Category 4 hurricane can produce a storm surge of 13 to 18 feet, causing severe coastal flooding and damage. This surge can inundate homes, roads, and infrastructure, extending several miles inland, especially in low-lying areas. As for a Cat 5, we are talking 20 feet! #milton
