No. I replied to myself on purpose. It wasn’t really a response to anyone in particular. Just didn’t feel like editing.

I do that sometimes if I have a post where I put in a whole bunch of facts, stats, dates, etc and have some typos or something I don’t edit it and reply to it to make changes because I don’t want it to look like I got some stats wrong and had to change them.

Still a decent margin of error for Laura. That’s what I gather

Are we going to pretend the 18z EURO doesn't exist or are we going to have a discussion about it? Because it brings 100mph gusts to much of sela between New Orleans and Baton Rouge.

Two runs in a row from the EURO showing a Grand Isle area landfall, this time it's MUCH, MUCH stronger than the previous one.

The EURO may be beginning to see a bigger weakness left by Marco than previously thought.

My worry is Marco is such a nothingburger after this double cane event got so much coverage that people don’t take Hurricane Laura seriously and it gets some people in some real trouble.

So what does the mean exactly? We still don’t have a clue what it’s going to do?


My post specifically means that I don't know how to read graphics I've been posting for half a decade.

As for Laura, yes, there is still plenty of uncertainty, but the current takeaway is that the ensembles/models that take Laura into central/SE LA tend to be weaker than the ones that go further west. Perhaps that's some peace of mind, depending where you live.

Anywhere from Houston to Morgan City. And Morgan City gets put in a cone regardless if they have a pinned down location because...it's Morgan City. Seems like you always have to put at least model up the pooper of that area.

I meant that the NWS track has them 200 miles apart. The NWS doesn’t use the euro.




Gotcha.

Wut? Between it and the GFS, the Euro is literally the gold standard for the NWS/NOAA in daily forecasting and cyclone tracking

I'm also interested to see if there is any stacking - for lack of a better word - of storm surge between the two.

Some places in SE LA may see 30+ MPH southeast winds for 60+ hours.

Euro is off
The stronger it comes off Cuba and it looks like it will be ar least a strong TS.
Stronger storm will feel ridge more and go west
I’d say cone will be narrowed from Vermillion bay to Galveston tomorrow

Where does the last two runs of the Euro fit in to all of this?

I was more worried Marco would be a threat and trap people from being able to evacuate Laura or monitor the storm.

When you asked how many people had actually dealt with hurricane force winds.


How is that douchey? Very few people have actually ridden out sustained hurricane winds.

They’re the two main global models, yes. My point was that the NWS doesn’t use the euro model for its official track. Otherwise, the official Laura track would already be over SELA.

ive lost power once since living here (6 yrs) and that was because a car ran through a power line. so, losing power is not a real concern i dont think from the current model.

BUT nola can flood randomly on a sunday shower
