The Gulf temps are really not that favorable for developement...am I wrong?




LINK

Conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit:

30-86.0
29-84.2
28-82.4
27-80.6
26-78.8
25-77.0
24-75.2
23-73.4

FWIW I was in the boat this morning in Lake Pontchartrain and the water temp was 71.

Would struggle to make major for sure

Lower temps plus shear likely mean stable to weakening towards landfall

I can see strengthening until about 70-100 miles form the coast then it hits the cooler surface temps while pulling in onshore cooler drier air. Just my opinion but at this point the max I see it landing is a cat 2 with the most favorable conditions and most likely landing as strong TS with cat 1 momentum.

NHC is very bullish on this early and temps in the Wcab are high enough rn and the environment will become favorable to support a major. Not saying it will be it could become one then ramp down as it approached the continent and possibly dry air gets sucked in

You're right for the most part, colder water and increasing hostile conditions should certainly have it weakening or at worst steady state at landfall. The effect of the water temp on weakening will be a function of the forward speed. Faster it's moving, less time over the colder water to weaken it.

With the way this hurricane season is going I wouldn't even attempt to predict what this will look like at landfall. But yeah, they're being aggressive. Doesn't mean it's wrong though.

I know that I'd rather a weakening hurricane at landfall than a strengthening one.

My understanding is that water temps not ideal to support a storm beyond a low level cat 3.
A lot would depend on when things ramp up.

We’d not likely see the last minute ramp up like Sally.

Don’t look at the hwrf model. That would really be a shame

Just getting power back, debris removed and then have do it all over again

So a weakened storm only lessens the impact of wind damage and storm surge, right? Could still see catastrophic rain falls though.

Latest HMON and HWRF considerable shift east

I predict a full H cone shift E at 10 pm

The Gamma track and the satellite loop do not compute in my brain.

Is it really supposed to turn SW?

Still considerable spread in the ensembles. But in consideration of this not even being a depression yet, remarkable consensus of this becoming a hurricane, possibly a major.

the cold front that's giving us this lovely weather will want to push the low level circulation of Gamma south & west when it gets too close

the mid-level circulation (and perhaps a lot of the associated convection) would be getting pushed north & east (ETA: I believe this is due to the trade winds... but not sure)
