Eye clearing out a bit right at landfall. Nice convective burst going up over the NE quadrant. Probably too late to correspond to much of a pressure fall, but the deepening convection moving over land may translate to wind gusts mixing down with more force for places like Houma, Amelia and Morgan City as the eyewall passes over.

Agreed. Wish this was closer to the radar, but there are mesovortices evident in the northern eyewall that are almost certainly enhancing winds on the meso-beta scale.

[mention=2227]wthrmn654[/mention] The onshore flow is going to be a problem for areas east of the eye. Those places you posted are experiencing offshore flow. I'd focus on eastern Terrebonne Parish, Montegut, Chauvin, especially Coco Marina at the end of Little Caillou Rd, and points further east, for worst surge presently based on current motion.

areas to the east, are well below guidance as well the one that shows 13 ft is well east but its only at 7 and its no where near flood stage, in fact most areas are  forecast only minor if even that. timing was a big plus

I should have prefaced that it's also a bit early. Let the eyewall come ashore and give the datasets time to update. Hope that the surge is mitigated, but these are unknowns. We'll just have to hope for the best and wait and see.

i get that but its also Realtime data updated either hourly or every 15 minutes. faster moving storm, hitting at dead low time, its a double win, and thats a good thing! rain and wind though, nothing going stop that unfortunately

im sure you familiar but heres what ive been looking at, make sure to select partner and the other station options as thats nws ones... realtime data apparently according to the site.

like you said eastern areas, they had minor flooding stages for the past 2 high tides but barely  at that.

Surge is starting to move into Dulac per chaser Aaron Jayjack. Hope he didn't make a bad decision by going too far south. He's normally pretty savvy. But if he gets cutoff south of Dulac, he'll have to ride out the surge in place as it continues to rise.
 

 

 

 

dulac is the only station that i have seen that forecast and current match, no lie and i do expect them to see surge, there in the red zone of areas and do have a water level station though its mising a forcast thats shows flood levels.

Mississippi River Delta Basin at Bayou Grand Caillou at Dulac (noaa.gov)
