Ed Lizard Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Western side of the storm is kinda falling apart but the eastern side is beefing up. 1) Almost looks like something resembling an inner eye has started forming 2) Looks about stalled, 12Z Euro had this onshore about 7 am CDT, perhaps this is the end of the West movement.

Shawn Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Okay so it looks like this thing is stalled/barely moving around N.O. Pwat values are currently close to 3 inches (2.8) in said location with MORE than enough moisture feeding out of the Gulf. This isn't looking good so far and the 15-20 rainfall amounts may be a bit low when it comes down to it. Edit: and those winds on radar sigs are ominous. scary stuff imo. (flood wise) Edit 2: The NAM (which i trust at this range much more than GFS and EURO) is keeping this thing going westward until it's close to the LA/TX border.

thewxmann Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Isaac is moving again. As it heads on land, frictional convergence is aiding in the regeneration of the backside. Meanwhile, NOLA is getting into the main eyewall of Isaac. Conditions there should be at their worst over the next few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewxmann Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Anyone notice the new 50-55k blowup on the south wall.. Yep. Pretty cool to see these IR blowups on radar. Grand Isle is in the thick of it right now. Motion of Isaac has been nearly due W in the past hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mempho Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 MSY still 070 direction. With all that rain and winds gradually veering more east...I think that's the concern some have. Now, if it goes east enough to put them in the western eyewall and give them a due north wind, that would be a nasty trick play. Hard to imagine a worse scenario or that it's possible.... but it is the 7th anniversary of Katrina, so I'm mildly expecting it Sent from my Milestone X 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
