From a NOLA perspective do I want this thing to move east or west to miss the flooding rains?


in a perfect world for Louisiana, it'd hang an immediate right and land somewhere on the FL panhandle.

it's most likely not going to do that so the further east it makes landfall the better.

So, the wife is going to Destin this weekend with her Mother. Should she cancel that?

How far west do we want the "center" to go to ensure the bad eastern rain bands still stay to the west of us?



That doesn't really appear to be an option at this point. All the models agree on deep tropical moisture streaming northward. The only question is where do the biggest totals happen. The large scale setup has more to do with this vs. the track of the "center"

So judging by this map, Lafayette is expecting to get about 2 inches?


I wouldn't rely too heavily on that.

From this view it looks like it's starting to get a little better organized, at least compared to this morning for sure.

Windyty

ETA: I'm seeing at least 36kt surface wind ENE of the eye and 58kt wind at 3,000 ft. That would make this a named storm.

Lots of rain somewhere between the Corpus Christi and Tampa Bay. People are going to be mad that they got more than predicted or less than predicted, even though the forecast stresses how difficult the localized rainfall totals are to predict.

Yep. The OT "experts" will be here pounding their chest after this passes. Most likely to bitch about having a thread about this when certain areas don't get much rain.

Anyone in SE Louisiana who has lived here most of their lives should know by now stuff like this isn't easy to predict and they shouldn't take what any weatherman says as fact. Best thing to do is take action and play it safe that way you're not caught in the worst case scenario with your pants down.

People are going to be upset they didn't flood. It's insane.

Well, if we actually prepare for worst case scenario regardless...how will we blame someone else for us not being prepared?

The expression, "rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it", is really lost on some people. There is nothing you can buy for something like this that can ever be a waste.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Mon Jun 19 2017

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Potential
Tropical Cyclone Two, located a couple hundred miles east-southeast
of the southern Windward Islands.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

A broad area of low pressure extends from north of the Yucatan
Peninsula across adjacent portions of the southern Gulf of Mexico.
This system is producing a large area of disorganized shower and
thunderstorm activity well east and northeast of the low over much
of the eastern Gulf of Mexico. While this system does not have a
well-defined surface circulation, satellite wind data indicate that
tropical-storm-force winds are occuring in a band 100 to 150 miles
northeast of the broad low. Upper-level winds are expected to be
marginally conducive for some additional development of this system
during the next day or two while it moves northward to northwestward
into the central Gulf of Mexico, and a tropical or subtropical
cyclone is likely to form during that time. Regardless of
development, interests along the U.S. Gulf Coast from the central
Texas coast to the western Florida Panhandle should monitor the
progress of this system, as a tropical storm watch or warning could
be needed for portions of this area later today.


Also, heavy rains are expected to continue over portions of Central
America, the Yucatan Peninsula, the Cayman Islands, western Cuba,
the Florida Keys, the Florida Peninsula, and spread into central and
eastern portions of the U.S. Gulf Coast during the next day or two.
An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to
investigate this system this afternoon. For more information on this
system, please see the High Seas Forecasts issued by the National
Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

I'm guessing it will be upgraded to a named storm soon?
