August 2021: Major Hurricane Ida/SE Louisiana Landfall

[jasons2k]

We don’t have a generator yet so I’m not stocking-up on anything except gas. If it comes here, we’re emptying the fridge and driving to Austin. That’s what we did during Ike and we watched KHOU on a special channel and watched the lines and lines of people waiting for gas and ice, etc., for hours in the miserable heat. No thanks.

But remember Jason, Ike did pull a cold front down after he left, so the days and nights were somewhat pleasant, albeit without power.

A slow tightening of the Euro ensembles, but still WAY too early for any prognostications. Thank you for the share Don.

Im gonna admit seeing the models especially the GFS show the potential for a Cat 5 is making me a bit uncomfortable , I know the trend has been Lousiana but man I would absolutely hate for them to be hit again,that would just be awful

Hmm. Without looking at the upper level charts that almost suggests a little less trough interaction with the ridge not eroding as much to the e. Hints at a possible change with the 12z run.

Again, nit-picking of me at this point because it's so early in the game -BUT - the 06Z ECMWF operational did shift west a tad as well with a landfall in Jefferson County or right along the border.

We have time…a lot to look at with this storm…right now the models are like a sniper trying to hit a target a mile away in a high wind that is constantly changing direction. JMO

[vci_guy2003]

What are the models saying about intensity?

[Texaspirate11]

I just think the people in Louisiana just dont need any more misery..... :

[Stratton20]

AtascositaWX well gfs has oressure down to low 940’s upper 930’s before landfall so im just assuming thats near a cat 5 criteria
