re: Hurricane Nate - Moving Inland - Hurricane Season Over?

Always, someone calling for a center relocation... Nate is mature enough of a system to prevent that from happening. Now, it wouldn't be surprising if Nate gives the appearance of slowing down at some point as the intense convection on the southern side rotates around.

Thanks for the follow up on that.

Bob Breck is talking about this thing getting up to a 2 or 3

I don't see it- Nate needs to be getting busy now and it's really not.

Now up 22 mph on last report. While I suspect the faster it moves the less time it has to organize and strengthen, but could it also go so fast that it won't start it's swing to the ME as soon as predicted?

Ceteris paribus, that seems like a possibility. I would have to go back to the model runs from earlier and look at things in more detail to make any kind of an educated guess.

I moved to Nola in 94. Shortly after I moved here, I remember one storm less than 12 hrs from landfall in the panhandle and ol Bob was still on the news saying it still had a chance to basically take a 90 into the city. I asked around and people told me that was his MO.

Yeah Nate is moving almost double what a storm through the gulf normally moves. That means normally it would be making landfall around Monday morning.

Thanks man. It looks like I have a 50% chance of water in the garage and a 10% chance of the water being higher than I raises the fridges/freezer. I kinda expected that and did the best I could with the place. Thanks.

And Geaux Tigers!

So the folks in the Northeast are apparently going to get smoked by Nate too. Nantucket, MA, has a greater chance of seeing hurricane force winds form Nate than New Orleans does.
