Doubt enough to make any real impact. Looks headed east.

If this current track verifies, track and intensity, New Orleans metro will see a little rain.

A mere 50 miles west as the crow flies and it's a whole other ballgame.

I’m from River Ridge. Only time I can ever remember it flooding is the May flood of 95’.

ETA: Wikipedia says that was 10-20” of rain but closer you are to the river the better.

Has River Ridge ever flooded due to a hurricane/massive rain event like this? I’m within spitting distance of Langensteins. Just moved here and have no idea if it’s high or low ground other than that it’s levee protected zone X so we weren’t required for flood insurance but we got it anyway.


Your area and along Sauve didn't flood during the May 1995 18" biblical rainfall event. Further down Jeff towards Harahan on levee side the lower elevation streets had some flooding.

I lived near you at the time and the torrential rainfall and constant lightning was awesome and frightening at the same time. It was the hardest most intense rainfall I've ever seen, including hurricanes.

Calling Duke or Rds...

What do you make of this HWRF run? Obviously not good if it were to verify.

Yeah that would be a worse wind event than K was for NOLA metro.

It's weaker than 12z.

Yes, that's an extremely bad spot for a landfall.

Would think the north turn would have started by this point judging the 18z GFS for the same time. The strength is the high end of the potential. Signal here is for a healthy strengthening phase starting Monday and running through mid day Tuesday.

Didn't do anything to really change the thinking at this point though.

That would be Category 3 territory right up the arse of New Orleans. Worst case scenario

HWRF clearly sniffing a stronger ridge to its north. Rainfall would be serious problem without a means to escape north.

So you're taking one run and going with it?

Never mind, cherry picking all the worst case scenarios..

Thanks for the feedback. At least it is ~60 hours from that possibility. Hopefully recon flights tomorrow will gather good info for the models to zero-in on the track.

I guess now we will all be up until midnight to see if it repeats
