Six hourly upper-air soundings began at 1800 UTC today over the
central United States to better sample the upstream mid-latitude
trough. In addition, the NOAA G-IV aircraft is currently sampling
the environment around Irma, and these data will be included in
tonight's 0000 UTC model runs



Maybe more important than the G-IV data is the upstream 18z special soundings. I would've tasked the NW offices as well. Huge data dump for 00z models.

2 Cat 4 Hurricanes hitting the US in the same year is very possible. I still feel like this is going into GOM on Panhandle side.

Good idea by Gov Scott. Gives you ~5 days to prepare. I'm worried about FEMA being stretched thin.

Well I hate to say "hopefully", but geez that track keeps shifting more and more uncomfortably towards Louisiana.

I have to imagine if this thing happens to hit near NOLA (nothing shows that as of yet, though) levees would fail or overtop again. Can you imagine another Katrina situation there just 12 years later? Regardless of where it ultimately goes, this will be a historic event that most people alive today haven't seen. Prayers for everyone involved.

The trend is moving it more West?

What scares me so much is all the people in the know continually staring how complex the weather pattern is, and how difficult it is to predict what Irma is going to do.

Meanwhile, she just keeps pushing further and further west. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I have very little faith in the models right now with how much they keep changing.

It has been moving more to the west it seems with every single model run. I fear this is going to go into the Gulf and become a catastrophic storm.

That's what is scary. 3 days ago it was 0.1% chance hitting Louisiana. Now, even it's only 10%, it gets frustrating.

My Gf having lived through Katrina and last year's flood, I'm seriously concerned about her mental wellbeing if this comes anywhere close to Louisiana.

Not to mention that Everyone's already donated to Houston, so at best Nola would get the leftover scraps of B-list celebs.

And I'm pretty sure the Cajun Navy isn't gonna rescue a bunch of 9th ward hoodrats that are gonna shoot at them.

It's going to be catastrophic either way. People die and lose everything no matter where it hits now. Cubans, Floridians, Gulf Coast....only losers in this scenario.

The MRGO is closed and they did put gates at the mouths of the outlying canals with the pumps... So hopefully this will be prevented...

And the locks at Seabrook are finally finished...

Jefferson Parish has strong houses at every pumping station, so the Broussard cluster frick will be avoided...
