  1. The plane is making good time. Probably half an hour to go. I might be convinced to join team #sub900
  2. I'm guessing it's around 140-150kts atm.
  3. Honestly looks kinda like an ERC has not only begun, but is well on it's way to completion. Explains why the eye is getting larger but not clearing out.
  4. looking like current trajectory would put the center of the eye of NO
  5. A plane should be in the storm in about an hour. Any idea why they aren't running nearly as many missions as some other hurricanes this year? Budget running low?
  6. The CAD may limit the wind threat for the NC Piedmont:
  7. Wowzers. Likely overdone. But the GFS doesn't overdo gusts to the same degree the Euro does
  8. Pressure down to 979mb. Winds still lagging somewhat
  9. I'm starting to see a pattern where for every hour a hurricane spends over land, it takes about 1 hour to reorganize (assuming good conditions). Zeta was over land for about 12 hours.
  10. Could be pretty potent ET transition over land well inland. 80-90 kt low-level jet at 900 hPa. Just depends on how strong convection is on the eastern flank of the circulation to mix down gusts as it phases with the mid-level low. The GFS brings 50-70 mph gusts up through north Georgia, upstate SC, and the western half of NC
  11. Speaking of which, the next couple years are going to be a dumpster fire as everyone forgets what climo is and expect major us landfalls all the time, when what we will get is fish fish fish
  12. Possible Florida impact aside, it's hard to ignore the persistence of the GFS showing an enormous storm off the East coast. Could be interesting days ahead.
  13. I think it will hit lake charles with the western portion and at least western Lafayette with the eastern portion. Goes to show how much bigger this is than Laura
  14. Current trajectory puts landfall just east of Cameron. Maybe 10 miles east of Laura
  15. The NHC track ticked west. Makes sense with the turn to the east delayed by a few hours. Lake charles now at a 60% chance of hurricane force sustained winds. Probably good news from a surge perspective. Will hit low population areas
  16. Seems to have stalled out a bit the past few frames. I'm guessing that indicates the turn is happening
  17. Yeah,the point being, it was basically assumed before the past couple years that landfalling gulf canes were half-canes
  18. Dropsnode 88kts it's at the surface, but 121kts just above the surface
