Spann is captain obvious today. To be fair, he doesn't have to make much effort to get clicks. All he really does now is retweet photos from other people.
Further, he's ramped up his "I'm the expert, don't come here acting like you know more than me" attitude.

A bit of a north shift would be unsurprising. Its trying to tuck the center under the convection and got pulled a little north.

Cat 4 triggers a mandatory evacuation of Orleans Parish because the levee system is only rated for a 3.
I’ve got a big decision to make. I have 3 options for riding out this storm:
1. Apartment in New Orleans. This would keep me relatively safe from wind and flooding as I’m facing an interior light well, but power outages would be brutal as I don’t have a gas stove and would have to take 15 flights of stairs to reach ground level.
2. Parents’ house. They have a generator, gas stove, and ample freezer space for all my food, but their land can be prone to flooding. If the projections of 20” are even remotely accurate, their house is going under.
3. Friend’s house in BR: insulated from flooding but prone to prolonged power outages due to downed trees. Has a gas stove. House is super crowded as a new tenant just moved in and some of the previous tenant’s stuff is still there. I would be riding the couch.
Current models track the eyewall to hit the latter two locations.

That part of Cuba won’t help much with this storm.

Just a reminder again not to sleep on the inland and river flooding threat. Lots of rainfall with this thing.

I’m not going anywhere, what are we looking at 30-40 mph winds?

The GFS is very, and I mean very, slightly east at 48 hours.

Dumb question, I'm sure, but how does that north shift with the center affect the E to W directional movement? (ridge aside)

for once, can that country help us out a bit?
This same little tip of Cuba helped us out big time in 2008 and weakened cat 4 Gustav.

Good thing all these thunderstorms are about to be rolling through for the next 6 hours to really get everything primed and soaked through before this hurricane hits.
We've been fighting this in the eastern Gulf all morning trying to get people out.. Helicopter operators shutting it down at COB today.

GFS 12z coming in slightly more east than the 06z

What mph winds we looking at in BR ?
Posted on 8/27/21 at 10:53 am to The Boat
Would be nice if center passed right over isle of youth. Anything to slow it down

Forecasting and tracking is better but that 3 day Katrina cone doesn’t show anything about that.
Pretty sure, the cone shows forecasting skill based on historical data, it does not describe any of the uncertainty of any particular storm.
So, the three day cone being much smaller now than it was in 2005 is very much indicative of how much better forecasting has gotten since then.
