storm is getting close to landfall. at it's forward speed it'll probably be moving ashore at sabine pass around 4am eastern/3am central. extrapolated track takes the eyewall and core of the strongest winds right through the beaumont/port arthur/orange area.. with the significant surge extending westward from there across cameron parish. no reports from lake charles lately, but beaumont is reporting hurricane force gusts now. pressure was hanging around 930mb all evening but since has risen up a few mb.. storm will probably landfall at around 940mb. that's typically a category 4 pressure, but Rita has done as many before it and come somewhat unwound. typical behavior of hurricanes that get insanely strong days before landfall; ERCs slowly broaden their cores and make them into broad, less intense windstorms. with that low pressure the surge will likely be very significant.. locally on the order of 15-18'. i believe the port arthur, johnson bayou, and cameron will see the worst surge damage; the latter two towns should be pummeled to bits. Rita will be with us through the middle of next week. it'll probably be down to tropical storm saturday afternoon and a depression by sunday morning, but the center will be meandering... probably southward after the weekend as advertised by some models. there is a chance it could pull an allison and get back to the gulf, but more likely it will just rain itself out over the very areas that it has impacted worst.
philippe has left us... or rather been declassified. if some system evolves out of that nontropical low that it twisted into i'd personally rename it philippe, since the surface remnant of the former storm is the most significant vortex in the larger system. the whole thing has elongated since the other day, though, and may never acquire tropical characteristics as was earlier surmised.
wave out near 35w isn't looking too hot, but still has some model support. some shear to contend with, but it may fight its way up over the next few days.
noticed the euro seeing a caribbean system now... different from the GFS. it may be resolving it from that piece of wave energy currently near 55w sliding westward, while the northern extremity peels off up into that complex low that ate philippe. GFS still resolving an early october storm that runs at the southeast coast, so i'm not sure which bunch of ideas to buy into. bottom line is that whatever if anything does spring up at the end of the month in the caribbean will have a window to run at the u.s. as the ridge really builds up in the western atlantic during the first week of october.
i checked on the MJO graphic earlier and it is showing that the main wave is finally sliding over, after sending an early pulse in and camping in the pacific for a week or two. lot of shear in the basin now, but if that cools off a little we'll probably see another batch of wannabe storms brew up. give it a few days to calm down from the big zing Rita threw into the circulation as it went haywire a couple days ago... and we may see that.

eye is showing up on Base velocity 32nm, from lake charles.. at 2200ft above the ground.... just a tenth of a mile off cameron.... 71kts is a pretty good area... (max out) so i would assume 100mph and plus winds are right near the shore now....

The water temp has risen about 2 degrees in the last 90 minutes at Calcasieu Pass. I guess that is a sign of the Gulf water being pushed in.

have to say CNN met is kicking butt.... the titan radar and the way he ables to have someone in the background drive the machine while he's talking and for him to be able read and talk is.... i think the best coverage i seen, but have to say fox news live reports are GOOD!

I mentioned a turn in the Vortex reports.
I'm plotting the fixes on mapping software, and indeed there was a turn to the NE. Followed by a turn back to the NNW.
Curiosity. We have two planes flying and giving fixes. That would give a variable right...two different observers.

The last two Vortex reports yield a heading between them of 338deg Magnetic North.
That would put Rita ashore between Holly Beach and the Tx/ La State Line.
Sending more of the surge into Calcasieu Lake???

eyewall just came ashore it looks like it was a tight curved line as it came across the beach... and then it looks like it collapsed and spreaded out... on next radar image..... which would mean there getting the crapp kicked out of them in, from Cameron to the west......
NHC sayes eyewall is making landfall...just in

I'm watching Fox. They are interviewing 2 people that work at a casino/hotel in Lake Charles on the roof of a parking lot. I keep expecting to see them fly away in the wind.
