Was just coming to post this. Recon data on tidbits is rather eye opening at the moment.

I wonder if NHC will upgrade.

Certainly looks more NNW than NW to me. Strengthening storms will wobble some, so watch longer for it to kind of stair step back WNW for a bit.

I’d say she’s on a northwest run now.

You remember what was causing Gustav's troubles by chance?


Gustav maxed out right before it went over the Isle of Youth and Cuba which really disrupted its core then the Gulf wasn't primed for it. The wind shear and dry air were tough. It was hard to follow the 08 season as close without power for much of it but it just wasn't a good year for conditions in the Gulf.

I remember going to bed in BR on the night of Andrew thinking he was going into Western La and waking up to shingles pelting my windows from the house across the street after he turned East at the last minute. I do not trust models or forecasters.

That was 30 years ago. They've gotten better.

Surely tech has improved tremendously in nearly 20 years.

I wonder if 5 is now on the table?

Seems like she is still ahead of schedule.
