This is slightly off topic, but did anyone else notice what the GFS did after Isaac? It sends a tropical storm/hurricane into the gulf and then into the AL coast/ FL panhandle. La La land sure, but I thought I would just mention it.
That is the wave off the coast of Africa. The 12Z GFS brought it to the East coast.
Hi everyone! I live in Gretna, but am in Orange, Tx...my husband works at the refineries...My son, daughter i-l and grandbaby live in Harvey...My son wouldn't leave, so anyone that's staying, if you could every once in a while post what's happening on the Westbank, I sure would appreciate...
Stay safe and I pray this storm just glides in without much more strengthening...
And thank you ALL so much for your dedication in our forum...God Bless you all!
Actually, according to recon it has averaged 328 degrees for the last 4 hours.
That's NW. We already have established its overall motion is NW, with a NNW wobble and a WNW wobble here and there.
It's 2 degrees shy of NNW. Now it may be stair stepping, but if people can talk about a WNW motion, then it's ok to point this out also. People don't need to be reminded of this every time they post its motion over the last several hours.
The tight convection that was there earlier seems to be breaking down. The structure is very ragged appearing. Maybe it won't get much stronger. That would be nice. I'm not an expert at this and in no way am I making a prediction. Rather, I'm just stating what I'm continuing to observe over the last hour or so. Zack or Sky, could you comment on this possibility?

Convection continues to flare over the SW eyewall. If the Northern eyewall erupts, we could see a rapid increase in strength. The pressure continues to fall so enough of the circulation is enclosed by convection to keep deepening.
