Nola peeps staying or leaving?
Leaving. Worried about being stranded with no power and having a hard time getting out the city on Monday afternoon/Tuesday morning.

What do the weather experts think about the work of Steve Caparotta? I thought he has done a really good job but don’t know a ton. Good use of charts and graphs on Twitter.

Dont look at that. It exaggerates the storm
Yeah IR modeling isn’t really bad, but IR itself just makes it seem like the entire thing is convection. Reality is that there are a handful of bands and that’s it, but we already know that.

I hope so in the case of Ida. I'm just to the east of the eastern eyewall (S. Lafourche).

Just repeating what I heard on local news. I don’t think they’re rated by wind speed, but by storm surge.
It also depends on where it goes.. of course. It's still too early to flee New Orleans. They didn't call for a mandatory evacuation of New Orleans for Katrina until Sunday morning and it made landfall on Monday morning.

The track has to factor in determination, this still is not expected to be a direct hit on NOLA.

Duke, if Ida stays on it's current projected path and intensity level, will the affects to New Orleans be about the same as when Zeta hit in October? I am not sure what the projected wind field is east of the storm's center.
SORRY, DIDN'T SEE THE GRAPHIC A FEW PAGES BACK.
Is that wind field graphic showing gusts or sustained winds?

Are Northshore folks staying or leaving?
I'm likely leaving. Got two kids and don't feel like messing with power being out for any extended period of time since I have several places I could go.

Zeta was moving extremely fast, whatever the effects are they’ll last longer with this one

If you are planning to leave Greater NOLA Metro, better do it in the next few hours before the doom warnings start to become very clear.
Id be actually shocked if they dont outright cancel the Saints game (I know they moved it to 12)

Rain totals aren’t quite as daunting though
So you think you can handle 10 to 12 inches?

Everyone who wanted to get out and could get out got out for Katrina and they only had 24 hours before landfall. It would be a shite show but you'll get out.

I’m no party pooper by any means but this meaningless preseason game needs to be canceled.

The shear really lightened up over the NW Caribbean compared to what it was yesterday allowing it to strengthen. There's still a little bit it's heading towards through the Yucatan Channel but nothing like yesterday.
It is also how it is consolidating and strengthening that matters, too. The shear that is there just doesn't have much effect on a storm like this trying to stack and wrap up.

A bit of a downshear "reform" of the center isnt terribly surprising. Theres some shear, not tremendous but there, and its pushing storms off to the NE. Now too much shear and this just stays a tilted mess but with a reasonable amount of shear, this move helps the storm vertically align.
The thing is, big bursts of vertical motion like you see in a thunderstorm makes cyclonic rotation (very very basically) and this can tug the surface low.
Shouldn't change much but gives me a little bit of an east (still over SELA though) bias on track.
