Keep thinking of Lili here.
Really hope it ends up doing a similar collapse.

Right... And before every model showed that wasn’t the case. Just saying it’s a possibility and people may need to start preparing as soon as tomorrow or Wednesday for hurricane impacts later this week

Would be nice, comparatively speaking. The trend of storms strengthening at landfall this year still bothers me though. I don’t think it would strengthen but rather not fill in as drastically as one would think

Here's to hoping. I'm not ready to bet the farm on it yet, though. Let's see where it tops out and how fast it is moving when it makes that turn north.

Not even close to making that bet for sure. I'll settle for weakening on approach at this point.

Weather guy David Bernard on fox 8 Nola said the turn will be crucial.
Wednesday afternoon cat3 with turn expected mid day thrs and reduce back down to cat2 with landfall mid la coast low cat2 Friday mid day based on nhc projection now. Again, when that turn happens is key.
Speed of movement is relevant as a fast mover Over cooler water won’t be as relevant on intensity.
Wind shear is another factor. When will the stronger shear in the north gulf impact it? That’s his question.
Closed out with:
He said that he’s very concerned about this one. He’s speaking from the viewpoint of Nola so take that into account
FWIW- not intended to scare or minimize anything. Just reporting what a respected weather man said.

you're a Fox8 guy? No WWL?

Everyone should be very concerned about this storm. People thinking there’s some magical shield around SELA or that the NHC is just gonna be wrong or the cone will just shift away from them is wishcasting and doing it idiotically. What we know as of right now is that SWLA to MS should be on very high alert for the possibility of a major hurricane.

You don’t say? Way to go out on a limb here.

Issac and Cindy showed it only takes a well put together Cat 1 to turn the NOLA area upside down for a week.

Sure. I like wwl

should SWLA to MS also be on high alert for sprinkles and 40 mph winds? because that is roughly the same percentage chance of happening
the doomer porn posts need to stop this far out.

GFS hates SELA right now
Slightly stronger, slower and westward. Not by much but worth noting.

This study may shed some light on the setup for Delta and the possibility of it maintaining strength at landfall, even with low SSTs.
Research reveals new theory on hurricane formation and intensification

Better to be prepared and nothing happen vs the opposite

That plays well with the Lili idea too. IIRC it was dry air that got into the storm and ate it up to cause the collapse.
