just had a bear of a squall come through. A clear channel billboard across the way from me has just broke and the board is just hanging down. not good. Hate to see what happens to it on next squall. going to contact them to make them aware. hopefully they can get out here and secure it before it blows into our yards or houses. Does appear to me that we may get a little more wind than was predicted

that trough is digging more south than east and is not going to impact with an easterly push because will be north of the trough and if anything will get a boost in speed and intensity upon landfall by ms/al/fl borders. pascagoula trouble

A STORM SURGE OF
8 TO 10 FEET IS POSSIBLE ALONG AND TO THE RIGHT OF WHERE THE CENTER
OF CROSSES THE NORTHEASTERN GULF COAST ON SUNDAY.
Is the tipping its hat? Do they expect a landfall in the big bend region of FL now? If so, that will probably mean a little worse weather for us folks on the west coast.
The northeastern quadrant of a hurricane is usually considered worst side to be on because it is the location of the greatest onshore winds. The strom surge is usually much greater on the eastern side of the hurricane because winds are blowing onshore, pushing the ocean waters in front of it. On the western side, the predominant wind direction is offshore, and does not create as much storm surge. The path may have changed a bit, but I don't think the is "tipping its hat" about landfall as much as informing those on the northeastern side of the landfall area to be ready for the expected surge.

The storm will turn more to thennw. That was predicted. If it didn't it would hit Louisiana. Also, the forecast of the FL/AL border is still east of most of the models. Also, Pensacola, Destin and Panama City are considered Northeast Gulf of Mexico, NO is central...Texas northwest.

GOM WV loop now shows the Texas/western gulf trough is no longer moving toward the East. is gaining the upper hand and moving steadily NW which is evident on the radar loops from Tampa and Key West.

yes, it's quite clear that unless that trough picks up big time energy this thing is going further west. which may be why they say the models aren't picking up the low and trough, maybe they are but they are correctly saying will win the battle with them and continue west. New orleans if that holds

I understand & know the NE quad is the worst. My point, perhaps semantics, was NE GOM. would you label Mobile or Biloxi the NE GOM?? The main surge would only be confined to a relatively small area to the east of the eyewall.

Someone posted a link yesterday to a color satellite (IR or WV, not sure) loop that showed the whole atlantic and GOM. My computer crashed last night before I could add it to bookmarks. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Actually, when they talk about the models not picking up the trough and the storm moving further east, I'm pretty sure that they are talking much further along the path (up near the tennessee border) They are talking about the GDFL and aligning more with others see:
