Most storms start to lose their southern half as they move up in latitude along the east coast.

Not by hurricane force winds. Katrina was ~300 miles across between hurricane force winds. As of the latest advisory, Florence is about 140 miles across with hurricane force winds.

Hard to believe Isaac is a TS with 60 mph winds at this point. Looks like a disorganized wave
NHC said they actually found 60 mph winds far removed to Isaac's north earlier today. Even without the convection the winds can exist for a while.

Would suit me just fine if all these storms fall apart. They were pretty to watch in the open water, but it would be great to not have so many people get their lives destroyed.

Who cares about the wind. Some of you are seriously forgetting the water aspect.

Dr Knabb is the most annoying TV personality I think I've ever seen....
He's like a 5 year old child that has to pee but cant get to the bathroom quick enough so he stands there and holds his wee wee and cant keep still
Dude needs to lower or maybe up his ADD medicine.

Yes as soon as it is possible truckloads of water will arrive at Anheuser Busch wholesalers in the affected areas and they begin distributing it in the communities through disaster relief agencies or simply by dropping pallets of it off at shelters for people to come and get. I worked for AB for many years which is how I know how it works.
Good stuff. Thanks!

Sub/extra tropical systems at a much further latitude I would agree, but shes barely above the latitude of New Orleans.

Things don’t look to good for south TX.
Posted on 9/12/18 at 8:13 pm to rt3
Some pretty good convection on the southwest part of the eye.
I may be wrong but looking at the areas where Levi pointed out the evidence of shear, looks as if that’s dissipated some. Those small clouds far to the southwest were being pushed north against the circulation during the shear but now appear to be going with the rotation, and seeing moisture flare up as well which I think would indicate less dry air. She may be trying to make one last push. Will depend if she can wrap up the eye and push out remaining dry air I guess?
I’m still trying to learn about all of this. Very intriguing
ETA can’t get damn gif to work

What's the long term forecast/spaghetti models for isaac looking like
Posted on 9/12/18 at 8:18 pm to Ignignot
Now Jeff will be almost falling down and screaming tomorrow with winds coming in a 45 mph, but this is actually a good update. He's driven the coast the last few days and talks about the roads and the area of Wilmington. Worth the watch, IMHO

it's got to survive hell over the next 3-4 days... as it's pushing right into heavy shear
if... IF... it survives and gets to the back half of the Caribbean then a turn into the Gulf is possible but still way too far out to know anything

I know this seems to happen a bit and my supposition is that as the hurricanes approach their counterclockwise circulation can pull in drier continental air into a weaker southern flank whereas a Gulf type storm generally has all water to feed the inflow of the storm.
