Not much different then the 12z but didn't think it would change much. If things are to change I would expect the 00z to be the big change with a shift east. That is if it follows the Ensemble members.

Comes in around Houma at hr 51 but the ridge isn't as strong and doesn't have the pronounced westward movement as with the 12z .

Agree that it will be the 0z run where a shift to the E would possibly occur.

Seemed like the 18z was a little bit faster with storm motion as well as being a bit east of the 12z run.

How will the more southern location affect the track of Isaac?

Well if we just have a temporary southern track it won't do much, but if this wnw movement continues for an extended period of time the trough will have less influence on Isaac since it is farther south. As a result an outcome like the gfs is advertising could occur versus the Euro which sends it North and eventually NE. It is a tricky situation because a little stronger or weaker ridging or trough could make a huge difference.

Yea I noticed the ridging wasn't as strong but still isn't enough to send it NE. We will see what the 00z models show. The concerning part is they can't even verify in the short range movement (unless this movement switches) .

Yeah it keeps getting a bit faster with each run. Approaching the coast early Tuesday evening.

Worrisome to see a CDO (Central Dense Overcast) developing. Past experience suggest that storms W and NW of Key West can develop rapidly...

I read a discussion elsewhere that if it doesn't turn north by tomorrow afternoon, Houston and Beaumont will be on the table as possible landfall locations. Opinions anyone?

Watched the NWS Houston/Galveston briefing just a second ago which offered their take on Isaac. Interesting to say the least.

Way too early to talk about this yet. Right now LA/ Mississippi looks like the area of concern.
