That would appear to be a pretty big jump at this point but I suppose it’s possible since they’re in the cone.

What does this mean?
Wind shear is caused by changes in speed and direction of the wind as you go from the surface to the top of the storm. Convection has been displaced by shear away from the surface circulation (downshear). However, as the storm organizes it will try to wrap those storms around the low level circulation (upshear). So Papin's tweet was highlighting this phenomenon and pointing out that (at the time of tweet) shear was still blowing thunderstorms away from the surface circulation.

“ Steph’s tits on point this morning.”
Ida like to see that.

Ok, but what does that mean

So...
Not strengthening?

Shear is blowing storms away from the center, and the storm is going to be working to rotate that back around the center.
This battle is a limitation on strengthening in the near term.

My wife and 3 yr old are either going to family in Houston or Dallas, when would y’all expect the evac situation to get out of control? They would be leaving from BR
Those two bridges west out of BR are going to be a clusterfrick

Exactly. This is going to be a recipe for disaster for widespread tree damage. Gustav was horrible for trees in BR, this could potentially be worse
Well don’t forget the Gustav blow wasn’t just a function of storm strength. It was the fact that BR had gone abnormally long without hurricane force winds, so you had a lot of weak trees sticking around.
That here has been culled a bit.

Not yet to the extent that it will once that shear breaks down.

My family in Houma “do not think they will get hit because the storms always avoid LA.”

I'm surprised that the media hasn't mentioned Sunday being the 16th anniversary of Katrina.

It's literally right over them. It's not like hurricanes are Houmaphobes and avoid the area

Good news is that Houma has a pretty good levee hurricane protection system

All this sounds fun until you don’t have power for 10 days. It’s hot and muggy in the house and you can’t watch LSU.

By keeping them at home for a possible CAT 3 hurricane? Because you don’t want to get stuck in traffic with them?
I disagree

Yep, also had Katrina weaken some trees a few years earlier. Gustav was just the perfect storm to take down trees, wasn’t really terrible in other regards IMO

And with all this rain the ground around here is pretty wet.
