Hurricane MATTHEW Forecast Discussion (Category 5)
National Hurricane Center ^ | September 30, 2016

Posted on 09/30/2016 8:09:10 PM PDT by rdl6989

An Air Force reconnaissance plane recently measured a peak SFMR wind of 143 kt and then 138 kt during this mission's eye penetrations. Furthermore, the satellite presentation has improved considerably with a distinct eye surrounded by a ring of very deep convection. The raw objective T-numbers from UW-CIMSS have been above 7.0 since 2100 UTC. On this basis, the initial intensity has been increased to 140 kt, making Matthew a Category 5 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. This is the first Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic basin since Hurricane Felix in 2007.

This is the first category 5 storm since 2007 in the Atlantic basin and it looks like it will head right towards Jamaica.

Looks like Jamaica, Cuba and then Bahamas. Only a few models show it moving ashore in the southern US, but more show it hitting the New England states.

Or maybe it will just turn a bit to the east and go out to see saving its wrath for the Moham-madman camp outside Calais.

I’m sure this is not helping Venezuelans and those on Aruba and Curacao.

Hoping it is like Hurricane Joaquin last year and just goes out to sea. I’m in Virginia and want no part of it.
