Isn't it unusual for them to predict such massive amounts of rain as far east as Pensacola when this thing is hitting in basically Houston??

I'm still of the opinion we here in the BR area will end up getting much more than the 5" they're predicting. This is going to pull so much moisture up from the Gulf over our area, then converge with a stalled front over our area. We're in for a deluge over the next few days.

Not with a storm organized (well really lacking organization) like this one.



The center of the storm isnt covered by clouds. All of the rain and weather is being displaced to the east side of the storm by shear.

You can tell by looking at the moisture maps that western Florida is going to get a lot of rain.

I know it is slim but what are the chances this thing keeps drifting due west keeping most of the heavier rain offshore?

Its not hitting Houston, it is hitting the northern gulf coast. The circulation center is irrelevant in this storm.

Youre going to have places get 3 inches and places a town over get 8.

Most of the precipitation models have been pretty consistent over the last couple days.

Might be an exciting takeoff, but I doubt they close the airport over this. I'd keep an eye on things, and check the thread on the travel board.

how is it that so many models were off with this thing. before they were deleted from the original post almost all of the models had this thing taking a more northern track to go over new orleans area, and they have all shifted westward with the progression of Cindy. they are all so tightly packed in their projections and not one of them had this thing moving west, why is that?

Simply put weather is still not well understood. Models have gotten much better but still are not 100% accurate

They're models. They have limitation and any misread they have on the atmosphere near the start propogates through. Closer to the event, the setup for steering is far better know.

Also, both the GFS and Euro pegged something to develop some ten plus days ago, that's impressive if you ask me.

Lower Terrebonne and Lafourche about to get soggy. How will this affect the fishing? Planning a trip around the 1st.
