HURRICANE DELTA Discussion Thread

I'm beginning to suspect that the NHC center track will continue to trend to the West until Lake Charles is again on the center path. Can any met address this suspicion of mine?

I certainly hope not. In my amateur opinion I think we will see models settle around a Pecan Island landfall over the next 24 hours. That is, of course, only conjecture and not based on a meteorological analysis.

Look at that cluster around Vermilion Bay. 

Zack addressed this a few pages back- the low in Texas not doing what models thought it would do.

Most people understand this threat and know how this whole thing works. Anybody sounding the all clear with a Cat 4 likely sitting two degrees west of your longitude in October down in the Gulf obviously has never watched the tropics before.

For those here looking for the information, I’m sure we will see the track shift into Vermilion Bay at 4. The cone will include every person that lives in this state so every person in this state needs to be prepared for impacts. Will the whole state see a direct impact from Delta, no, but we don’t have that ability 3-4 days out to get that specific on a landfall point.

Just use tropical tidbits.
