NortheastPAWx Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Amazing how much hype there's been for a storm that just cannot reach hurricane status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksstormhunter Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 04Z Updated: SmartCast currently tracking Boothville, as the highest threat area. Currently forecasting winds to increase to 35-45 though 10Z, increasing to 50-60mph through 16Z, then periods of high winds up to 80mph through 29th/04Z. Heavy rains will being pushing in around 14Z lasting through 04Z. Rainfall accumulations of 3.4” through 29th at 04Z. Keesler, New Orleans, Gulfport seeing similar wind conditions with peak winds around 70mph across these areas and rainfall accumulations through 04Z will be between 1.7” and 3.1”. Areas across the Pensacola, Mobile and Slidell areas, seeking wind up to 58mph through 04Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach McGuirk Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Isaac is like "Tropical Storm 4 Life" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike2010 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 First blip of lightning just showed up from New Orleans site. and with that....i'm going to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Energy Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I hope we take a long look at any storm that is "entering the bath water of the gulf" a little closer next time. No strong inner core? Go home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 For a Cape Verde type topical system, Isaac has been awful. No sure I've ever seen anything like it, actually, other a few names that I scarcely care to mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 It's a lot like Katrina, except it's missing the 1 in front of its maximum windspeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Lessons learned. If the inner core is spread out like rita, it's not going to go through RI. Why do you think Rita only made it to 989.5 mb despite favorable conditions? You mean it's not like I miss read pressures on weather maps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewxmann Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 No sure I've ever seen anything like it, actually, other a few names that I scarcely care to mention. I'll go ahead and mention Fay. Never seen anything like this; to be honest, I'm not so sure it'll make hurricane status anymore, which speaks volumes about how wrong all of us really were. Still so much to be learned...

thewxmann Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I want to know why every hurricane affecting the US either is a giant lumbering mess or a poofycane of late. Government trickery. edit: I guess I should put hurricane in quotes for now I have a theory that it's because atmospheric instability has been below average the past few years across the Tropical Atlantic. It was well below average in the GOM prior to Isaac's entrance. Just from personal observation, higher instability values correlate to tighter cores/smaller eyes. Perhaps the lower instability values make it harder for inner cores to consolidate after a disruption? (I mean, not to mention, practically the entire U.S. is experiencing drought, so it's not surprising to see some of that dry air entrain into Isaac's large circulation.)

If it were a 75 mph or 80 mph hurricane would you feel the same way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdman95 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 977mb pressure and still a tropical storm. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan11295 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 uneven structure combined with slow movement is going to result in a uneven rainfall distribution, but likely means someone is getting a lot of water if banding sets up shop over them.I think freshwater flooding is N.O. bigger concern IMHO. even if is crawls along the coast just offshore they could still get training banding if they get unlucky.

ksstormhunter Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 10Z Update: I am currently tracking Several Cities in the high threat dangers. Boothville- looking for wind to gust up to 50mph from 12Z, then gusts up to 60mph around 23Z, then wind gusts up around 80mph from 29th at 07Z onward. Seeing a couple of heavy periods of rain, 17Z-01Z, and 09Z-14Z. Rainfall accumulations of 3.43” through 29/10Z. Mobile and Keesler area looking at winds 35-45 through 21Z, then increasing 60-70mph 00Z-10Z, with peak gusts around 75mph. New Orleans area tracking winds increasing to 35-45 from 14Z to 23Z, then increasing to 50-60 past 23Z, peak winds looking at 64mph right now. Looking at 4.4” of rain accumulation through 29th at 10Z. Matrix uploaded at http://smartwxmodel.net/update.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Beat you to the punch line (see above). You're fast. Which is more than I can say about Isaac's winds speeds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
