In addition to IR vs precipitation data, also consider that satellite imagery is from above while ground-based radar is from lower angles. They "see" things differently.

Infrared only shows the coldest cloud tops. This storm did not show itself compared to the visible in that the visible had the well defined center exposed with very thin clouds. Center looked neat from the Ground when it passed in Galliano. Nice clear deep blue sky.


I can remember for Zeta when the center passed over the same area around sunset you had a nice deep pinkish hue to the sky.

It’s frustrating how most apps don’t show you precipitation if it’s from a named storm.

Is there an app I can use that won’t make me pay extra to see precipitation forecasts due to a named storm?

Is there any chance of this thing becoming more vertically aligned again or reforming under the thunderstorms? This AM 's discussion talking about a thunderstorm with a mesocyclone near the mid level center.

I know theres a lot of shear but that blob is impressive.

Doubt it. The pressure, shear, location. Nothing suggests this has a chance at real development.

Does Windy not provide it? I am a paid member, but I thought the precip was on the free version.

One of the oddest little storms I’ve seen in the 30 years I’ve lived in the zone.

Yep.

I can remember another odd storm from the 1990's. I think it was Hurricane Danny. This one formed the Southwestern gulf and moved to the Northeast. The eye wall made a jog over Grand Isle strengthened to a hurricane while partially on land headed to Alabama and Florida. It was small and compact. I did not feel much in Cut Off.

Back then there was really no breakneck coverage of Tropical Storms besides just a few news bulletins at the every 3 hour intervals of the NHC new plot. Now they did dedicate a few more minutes of coverage during the news, but that was the extent of it.

I do remember seeing a relative of mine on the news who decided to stay for the storm in a rickety camp in Camanada. She talked about how her house was moving up and down.

Thank capitalism. These news and weather stations survive on views. Over time big corporations have found that the best way to get views is to scare people or sex. Mexico went the sex way. America decided to scare people.

Houston has a lot of people.

That’s why I only watch Mexican weather channels.

Looks like the stuff popping up over the Carolinas and Georgia are part of this? Or being influenced by it?

It is summer time in SE Louisiana.

That shower could come from typical daytime heating or from the sea breeze.
