It was the last reliable model showing a westerly landfall. Amazing how quickly the models adjusted from an elongated low developing along the coast of Central America to one developing southwest of Jamaica and tracking north/northwest. We went from a Mexico landfall to a Lousiana landfall over a matter of 24-36 hours
The Louisiana solution isn’t completely surprising. Some ensembles were hinting at the more northerly lobe becoming the dominant feature a few days ago, therefore, making for a faster and further east landfall.

If the 00z models tomorrow night are still showing Louisiana I’ll feel a lot more comfortable.

I have to agree, to be honest. It astounds me how much people wish for hot, dry weather in this part of the state. A really sickening pattern indeed.

Hurricane Hunter Flight Today

Today’s scheduled flight is expected to arrive around 20:00z/4pm EST, which should be just in time to give the NHC plenty of data for the 5pm advisory. However, that time was based on a further south center, so the plane could get to TD9/Ida earlier now that it’s further north.

Just to clarify, that is not the literal wind field. That is a graphic displaying the chance of tropical storm force winds.

Still dont think the models are done moving significantly…now predicted faster forward motion, how does that effect the timing with the ridge weakening and second does the ridge weaken as much if the mid-west trough does not dig as far south? Maybe I am chasing a rabbit down a hole?

Looking at where they estimate CoC looks to me the models initiated to far to the east…I’m just a novice…might be looking at it wrong

Dang. This initial track doesn't really have it going anywhere near the Yucatan.
