Hurricane Harbor: Hurricane Lorenzo, Cat 5 King of the Atlantic Road. Full Blog Sunday Morning...

Cat 5!!!!!

Ireland in the Cross Hairs.

Forecast to be a Tropical Storm at landfall.

But... it's 5 days out so much could change.

But so impressive.

Worth noting NHC didn't have it at 160 MPH.

Interesting to see what the next models show.

Well ...with regard to down the road.

Earliest winds cone....

Below we see how long it's strong.

If you are keeping track....
...this is the 2nd Cat 5 this season.

And many had questions a few days ago.
When Hurricane Recon left the hurricane...
...but kept flying around.

That's got to be the first time...

...I've heard them do that.

Sad story with regard to Hurricane Lorenzo.

If you haven't read or looked at the pictures.

Keep reading.

Good loop of Lorenzo over time.

Great Tweet.

Quick update on Hurricane Lorenzo that is a Category 4 Hurricane and I was obviously wrong the other day when I thought it had peaked. In truth, early on, I thought it would hit Cat 4 and wondered how high it could go ... entertaining Cat 5 strength. But, it had some issues it had to deal with and it did and it just took off for the races intensity wise. I was very offline most of Thursday and Friday and on 4 strong medications so still a bit out of it. But I'll update the blog Sunday AM on Lorenzo and more so other possibilities for October as well as somethings out there currently being ignored. Day by day I'm getting better but WHOAH not like Lorenzo. Key Messages from NHC below.

Note they are expecting it to maintain Major Hurricane Status for a long while. Note that as this moves up into the higher latitudes it will help flick the switch on and move things around in a big way and cool air should finally descend down onto those of us in the East Coast (especially the South) basting in very warm weather for September; note it's nowhere near as bad as it was back in May and June as it cools off at night and we know a cold front it on the way in a few days. Another system should form and impact the Gulf of Mexico and or parts of Florida down the road and that will do the same for our seasons in the US though Lorenzo seems to have a real global impact weather wise as it moves the warmth from the tropics up to the poles and dislodges cooler air down our way... eventually.
