PTCs have been a thing for a few years.

It used to be the NHC would wait for a depression to make advisories. As you can see, in this case, that would leave like three days tops before a hurricane is hitting Louisiana.

So they do this, to start advisories earlier

The meteorologist doing the NWS briefing has said about 50 times we will probably see a shift east tonight.

And it could shift back west just as easily

Between Wade and Donald, we have some pretty good meteorologists in this area. Donald is skeptical about a track, but he knows it ain’t gonna be a cat 1.

He did about a 5 minute explanation on what is steering the storm including the cold front and why that isn't likely

How concerned should the Nola baws be right now? Definitely keeping an eye, this will be my first hurricane living in LA so not sure how it would hit here if it hits Lafayette. Just looking for level of prep guidance

He is downplaying the intensification but he has said it will be a cat 1.

He did seem skeptical it would even reach cat 1, though.

With a front kicking it?

There's a hard edge to the west as to where it'll get

Correct me if I am wrong but the only way it could be much further west is if the center develops in an unexpected area?

There is a decent bit of shear, especially at the coast and while the upper levels arent bad, I dont see where a bigly outflow channel could get going. Low shear and an outflow enhancement is what Im looking for to get the rapid intensification.

Models showing a 3, Im paying attention but Im far from sold on that idea.

Its gonna depend on exact landfall position. Im not expecting big impacts in GI, as things stand now, but there will be some surge. Really low lying, go get your shite. Otherwise, plan on it if things shift like Morgan City east.

Right now. Grab a case of water and fill up on gas tomorrow.

Look around your yard and make note of anything that can fly away. I wouldn't do any real prep yet. But be watching.
