No problem continue to monitor any shitfs east or west will make a difference on rain totals.

The rainfall gradient should be sharp on the western side though.


That's going to make a huge difference in who/where gets the potential flooding rainfall.

A track 30 to 40 miles either way of a given location could be the difference between 3 or 4 inches and 15+ inches of rainfall.

Supernovasky? He posts on other weather boards from what I gather.

Dude's a fricking hero for what he did in 2016. People were able to protect life and property based on his insights.

yeah he came in a hurricane thread a year or 2 ago and started talking about rain rates possible from a hurricane that showed serious long-lasting storm-training potential

the thread took a turn immediately about jovial fun about a nothing burger weak storm to ok this is a real flood threat even though the storm was weak

not sure if it verified... just remember the thread attitude turning on a dime

Thanks and yea I am waiting it out as long as I can. Power is so close to my house according to the outage map. If I am lucky then I get power back tomorrow and can roll out Monday morning straight home.

BR seeing significant rain totals would require a pretty significant miss, albeit not impossible.

Barry last year. Some places saw like 15”, but many forecasts were falling for 20-30”.

the irony of I just returned to my apartment in Alexandria from NOLA b/c I didn't feel like dealing with power outages from Laura


now I'm making sure my family in NOLA is aware of this storm and telling them to start considering options if this storm looks like it's getting its act together by tomorrow night
