Hurricane Grace

[matty40s]

Grace is quite poorly organised at present and following a similar direction to Fred would result in its demise. However with a much stronger ridge to the North, all of a sudden the chatter of interest is rising.

Grace has now more or less slipped south of Haiti albeit at TD strength. Now forecast to hit the Yukatan so worth watching.

[summer blizzard]

Grace reformed a center south of Haiti and has begun to slowly strengthen (passing the north coast of Jamaica now). Center is still broad but once free of Jamaica she is expected to strengthen headed for the Yukatan and a broad center suggests she may become quite large.

Grace now forecast to hit the Yucatan as a hurricane.

Intensity models picking up pace. 33% chance of a 25KT increase over the next 24 hours .

[summer blizzard]

Grace now has an open eye wall to the north, 60mph and strengthening.

[summer blizzard]

993mb, closed eye wall. Grace is at or near hurricane status.

Hurricane now, should regain hurricane strength after crossing the Yucatan as well.

[summer blizzard]

Grace approaching landfall now, pressure down to 986mb and strengthening but the system is quite large and so winds are not really responding yet at only 80mph.

The usually webcam of watch for that area went down a couple of days ago, annoyingly.

[summer blizzard]

Unconfirmed report that it was 978mb in the eye which would suggest strengthing.

Grace now back over water and back to hurricane status at 983mb and strengthening.

[summer blizzard]

Down to 979mb, 90mph on approach to land.

Grace went nuts in the final 12 hours or so. Rapidly intensifying cat 3 at landfall, 965mb, 120mph.

Is Henry being a bit naughty with its 'track'?

Reading NY might be in line for a visit?

[matty40s]

Grace has made it over the mountains and entered the Eastern Pacific to strengthen again.

Interesting to see in the lower timelapse how it strengthened overland again so quickly. Usually see the active hurricanes peter out as they cross the Yucatan, but either this one had superior strength OR a decent feed of moisture OR a good tail wind causing to clear the peninsula very quickly and enabling it to strengthen again so quickly

Does any one remember, the controversy over our little tropical storm  Grace? ,dear little warm core cyclone that people disagreed with ?? Caused a bit of stir, not just the in the sea or air but whisked up arguement between meteorologists?
