Many of us on here are major weather enthusiasts. We get very excited when bad weather comes our way. I know I do! I’m like a kid in a candy store. Crazy wild weather and sports are my two biggest passions in my life. Now I don’t exactly wish or want for anything to get destroyed or for anyone to get hurt but I’m always down for some crazy weather but there’s a line I have to draw when it comes to that. If it’s going to cause a lot of damage then no thanks!

As long as I have followed Tropical weather, 30+ years. I think this is the first time Ive ever seen NHC issue a cone to one place when the models are still pointing to another. Wow. I know I know. It’s because of the center reformation and models are STILL confused. And yes its going to La. I know why. BUT...I just have never seen models go one place and an official cone going different. Has this happened before?

Very well stated Cpv17 and could not state it any better. I feel the exact same way.

Thinking back in my life of watching tropical systems, the one storm for me (growing up near Galveston), that I would say was the perfect scenario was Claudette in 2003. Right amount of wind and rain for a lover of tropical weather. And maybe Jerry in 1989. (I rode out Jerry in a lawn chair in my friend’s front yard having a couple of Long Island Teas. I wasn’t 21.

As a rank amateur but another enthusiast (I might have been a meteorologist if my alma mater had the major) I'm within 50 mi of the NHC prediction. 8-)

Close enough. Your 500mb height chart is off by 24-hours at landfall, so we won't hold it against you :lol: :lol:

The long range GFS has been hinting at another system entering the Gulf in about 2 weeks from now. Probably won’t happen but thought it was worth mentioning.

Ok, Im over 92L. Next...

So what’s moisture looking like for this upcoming Sunday through Tuesday? NWS LC is showing 70% coverage for Beaumont, so hopefully its it doest get chipped away day by day as we get closer which now seems to be the new norm in our area of TX.

CPV17 Anything beyond 7-10 days in the GFS just gets ignored , not even worth watching
