Backpirch Weather
@BackpirchCrew
A massive, gravity-defying avalanche of extremely cold convection continues to bury Hurricane #Francine’s circulation in protective, snowy thunderstorms, prompting her sustained winds to rise to 90 mph ~six hours ahead of schedule. The NHC is warning that Francine could undergo “significant strengthening” through this morning now that she has a well-organized core. Residents along the #Louisiana coast should heed the advice and orders of local officials as this storm rolls closer to landfall, carrying with her potentially life-threatening impacts.

On a side note, woke up this morning and went outside to the smell of smoldering leaves. That’s right, someone in my subdivision got up early to light a pile of wet leaves on fire when we have a tropical storm moving through this afternoon. Not like wind fans flames or anything.

Get that shite out of here. That was at midnight and the structure is suffering a bit more now. It's old data and it's misleading data.

Jesus Christ man. I hope y'all don't have any issues with that. Hopefully some of the 10" inches of rain we're supposed to get will help to put out the inferno.

Eerily empty roads on the way to St. Tammany Hospital.

Work all day and I gotta drive home right before landfall

That must be some imports. The proper coonass sees that pile of leaves and cracks a beer and waits anxiously to see it get blown all over the place and become not his problem anymore.

At 700 AM CDT (1200 UTC), the center of Hurricane Francine was located near latitude 27.5 North, longitude 93.3 West. Francine is moving toward the northeast near 12 mph (19 km/h). A faster northeastward motion is expected today, and Francine is anticipated to make landfall in Louisiana within the warning area this afternoon or evening. After landfall, the center is expected to move northward across Mississippi on Thursday and Thursday night. Reports from Air Force Reserve and NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that maximum sustained winds are near 90 mph (150 km/h) with higher gusts. Some additional strengthening is possible this morning. Francine is expected to weaken quickly after it moves inland. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 40 miles (65 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km). The minimum central pressure reported by an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is 976 mb (28.82 inches). An oil platform near the center recently reported a pressure of 977.7 mb (28.87 inches).

If you go to Windy.com and overlay the UKM model over the radar it looks like that is the direction the storm is tracking. This is the model that takes it through Houma, Kenner, Covington.

The other model tracks (going to BR and Walker) are already a little west of the existing center of the eye on radar.

This may have been asked but is it still better to be on the west side of the storm? Woke up that thing now 8 miles east of my house. It’s been “fun” seeing where that track went with every update. I assume this will be basically the track locked in from here on out till landfall.

Absolutely not true. The previous two pages are saying a direct hit of New Orleans and it getting “slammed”. I didn’t see that previously.

Ida’s track changed a lot after hitting land. These are the best guesstimates we have.

The NHC track has been essentially unchanged

Not saying they are wrong but I wouldn't bet on that. This thing has been slowly shifting east a little with ever track, why would that change? Especially with the shear and now that it appears that dry air is being pumped in from Texas. This thing will try to hold together and the only way that can happen is find conditions suitable for that and that is to the east. So myself I expect when all is said and done the track will be over grand isle lower jefferson and to the Mississippi coast. Just a wild guess.
