Reuters: #HongKong leader Carrie Lam says if violence continues the only thing to do is to stamp it out with law enforcement

EVOLE01(B-52H) turned to Southwest and back to HF now. They are heading towards the South China Sea.

Hezbollah issued the following statement: Both Israelis drones which fell in Beirut’s southern suburb (Dahiyeh) last Saturday were carrying out suicide mission. The explosive materials in the bomb were of C4 type and weighed 5.5 kilo grams. https://t.co/b5LOSBlkEU

That 48 knot wind was in the NE quad, right where we'd expect the max to be...expect the NHC will go with 45 knots at the 11PM advisory (50 MPH)

3rd vortex fix places the center at 13.0N and almost 60W but did pick up 48 knot flight winds, not sure that the 1008MB pressure is any more significant than the 1003MB estimate earlier, the structure is the same (Center noted in Aqua X) #Dorian

EVOLE01(B-52H) fly North of Philippine for heading to South china sea. Unfortunately, the receiving condition of HF Radio is getting worse, so it may be difficult to catch them any more...🤷‍♂️

@JohnMoralesNBC6 Low level WV shows super dry air out in front (to the west, orange), although the envelope is still pulling from the ITCZ - maybe cousin SAL will break the connection #Hopefully

These last 2 key messages from the latest NHC advisory are all we really know right now - uncertainty is still high for #Dorian beyond 2 days time

@DrRickKnabb Excellent callout! Although, Dr Avila did note the short-term potential for dissipation in the discussion when Erika crossed 60W #OrItsRemnants

@DrRickKnabb Not seeing that short-term potential here. If anything, uncertainty is even higher because a 50 knot TS emerging into the SW Atlantic/Bahamas, either due to persistence or weakening over land, is still troubling given #Atlantic climatology.

So ironic - 4 years ago tonight, TS Erika was about same intensity as #Dorian is now, about to affect NE Caribbean, and exact 5-day forecast was cat 1 near Florida. Latest #Dorian forecast is similar. Will it dissipate near Hispaniola like Erika or will it…

#NEW: #HongKong leader Carrie Lam said on Tuesday the escalation of violence in anti-government protests that have rocked the Asian financial center for three months is becoming more serious. #HongKongProtests https://t.co/mjvbqt0mK0

A Chinese-born Australian writer has been arrested in China on suspicion of espionage. #China #Australia https://t.co/X1v49Z85ZC

Sleep now, but, just from a patten recognition standpoint, I think I would rather not see these symmetrical features pushing out ahead of #Dorian They could mean anything, given the high-rez GOES16 relative to pre 2017 sat imagery

Ok now sleep...but just looked at the 5 day GFS - while it dissipates #Dorian over the DR in 72 hours, it redevelops a small but strong vort max at 850MB by day 5 #justsayin
