Next 30 it could wobble NNW. Lol imagine not being able to see a trend 1 minute ago, NorthHillsWx said: Mercifully it looks like Ida has leveled off. Unfortunately, it happened too late to keep this from being a catastrophic event where the storm comes ashore. Good news- the westward ticks this morning will keep the most dangerous impacts west of the city proper. I still expect gusts over 100 across the city, but the destructive core looks to just miss at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan11295 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Good chance Ida has peaked based on IR and radar. But its so close to landfall now its almost moot. Eye wall will be ashore in 3-4 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDreamTraveler Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 13 minutes ago, jpeters3 said: Que in the parade of weenies that try arguing that every asymmetric eyewall is due to radar issues. Do we have to go through this every time? Yes, even intense TCs will have eyewall asymmetry. Pretty dead giveaway that its not a radar issues when it shows up from every radar site, and the weakness is on the upshear side of the storm. It does look like the weakness has become more pronounced in the last hour. Isn't this guy the same guy who was arguing nonstop about radar attenuation during a hurricane last year and it took up pages of the storm discussion right before landfall because he apparently wasn't right or something? lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Surge & flooding will matter a lot more than where the eyewall hits. Needless to say this won't be another Katrina. I actually feel the media will be disappointed by the lack of devastation though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katrina was a much larger hurricane with a much higher peak intensity. Our building codes have improved since 2005. However the surge & inland flooding impacts will still be very bad for many. Ida should continue to slow prolonging the flooding dangers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
