For comparison Audrey was 946 millibars but winds were 125 mph at landfall.


Difference is, no one left for Audrey.

Similar storms. Lot less human catastrophe with Rita.

No, I kind of like it, I was just making light of the whole weatherman taking center stage during tropical season

Yeah. Over 12 foot surge plus waves with people not evacuated and little or no levees was catastrophic.

Tropical Storm Marco Tropical Cyclone Update
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL142020
600 PM CDT Mon Aug 24 2020

...MARCO MAKES LANDFALL NEAR THE MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI...
...EXPECTED TO BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION LATER TONIGHT...

Visible satellite imagery and surface observations indicate that
Marco made landfall near the mouth of the Mississippi River around
600 PM CDT. Data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter Aircraft
indicate that Marco is producing a small area of
tropical-storm-force winds over water to the northeast of the
center. These winds will likely subside during the next few hours as
Marco moves along the coast of Louisiana. Heavy rain will continue
along portions of the north-central Gulf Coast through tonight.

The estimated minimum pressure at the time of landfall was 1006 mb
(29.71 inches).


SUMMARY OF 600 PM CDT...2300 UTC...INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------
LOCATION...29.0N 89.2W
ABOUT 0 MI...0 KM N OF THE MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...40 MPH...65 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...WNW OR 290 DEGREES AT 8 MPH...13 KM/H
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...1006 MB...29.71 INCHES

I do but it hasn’t started to run yet.


As I and others stated recently, the center appeared to be further north OR redeveloping further north of the NHC 5:00 location. Well that appears to be confirmed by the latest recon. This potentially could result in a slightly more eastern track. Not by much, but noticeable. We’ll have to wait and see if the NHC updates to confirm or not.

Duke/rt, looking at the Radar near Cuba it appears the center is north of the area the NHC is calling the center. Is this just because it’s a broad circulation and it appears that is the center? Just curious.

the low & mid level circulations aren't exactly stacked yet

the spin you're noticing is probably the mid-level while the low-level circulation (which the NHC tracks) is south of it

that answer taken from a couple pages back from people smarter than me

ETA: of course that could be confirmed by the Hurricane Hunters being in the storm

hard to confirm that if it's over Cuba b/c the planes usually can't fly over Cuban airspace
