beanskip Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 A worst-case track for New Orleans -- Zeta comes "ashore" right up Terrebonne Bay, keeping it over water for as long as possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlcater Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Most north moving gulf storms have weak/non-existent south sides. I remember when people thought Michael was remarkable because it was the exception to the rule. Not only that, take a look at environment/synoptics and a half-a-cane absolutely makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkman Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 6 minutes ago, cptcatz said: Is that normal? I haven't been tracking hurricanes long but it seems like every hurricane this year had an open/weak south side as it moved north onto the gulf shore. It's a little odd with Zeta because although there's some warming of cloud tops on the south side it's nothing like you usually see when the south side of a storm falls apart.

dan11295 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Strongest winds are on the East/SE side right? They (N.O.) should miss the strongest winds I think. Places like Belle Chasse i think get whacked pretty good i think, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of dry air being entrained into the south side. These half dried out type of N Gulf coast landfalls are much more common than an exploder like Michael. Dennis, Ivan, Katrina, Rita, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Jon Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hey, anyone know what kind of multiplier to add to the winds when they're howling through the concrete canyons of a city - e.g. the wind tunnel effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 Even for a halfcane, Zeta has an impressive eyewall. New Orleans metro is about to get smacked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how the city misses much of anything windwise. They're in for the full impacts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hope brandon clement is actually getting some wind/pressure data right there. In a spot such that if there were cat 3 winds in this thing, he probably would've seen them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Fwiw, the New Orleans airport (KMSY) is west of the city. So stronger winds likely east of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
