Model forecast wind swaths are from 24 hours from 2pm EDT Thursday. (forecast sustained winds, not gusts, and just for ground level) Forecast path from 2pm EDT shown. 8pm EDT actual storm position according to best track data. Swaths from NHC's ATCF system.
Also have 100 statute mile measurement for comparison.
For the shown model:
34 Knot Wind Radii In Nautical Miles For Each Quadrant Northeast: 120nm Southeast: 120nm Southwest: 58nm Northwest: 91nm
I just wanted to show the tropical storm force wind field in comparison to the Hawaiian Islands.
The CPHC forecast for 24 hours, for a different forecast position which is noted in the image (24H), is:
FORECAST VALID 24/1800Z 19.4N 157.6W MAX WIND 105 KT...GUSTS 130 KT. 64 KT... 30NE 20SE 15SW 20NW. 50 KT... 50NE 40SE 30SW 40NW. 34 KT...110NE 90SE 50SW 100NW. |
