Newbee here ... Looking at radar, the storm seems pretty stationary to me. I think with the slow movement of this storm ... these models will be swinging like a pendulum.

I have it on good word that the 5PM track will be shifted 150 miles west to near Biloxi, MS. Possible CAT 4 at landfall.

Hank a ? I got to thinking about the vortex data. How is it possible the gradient increased to 8 deg with the eyewall still open?
in spite of sucking that dry stuff down, it still wants to intensify. if it stalls that'll mess the future track up, not to mention introduce the parameters for upwelling. those near shore-florida waters aren't very deep. -HF

may be responding to all that dry air intruding on the NW side. tropical systems with weak steering and that kind of forced asymmetry will do things like that sometimes.

ETA or what is now called is your basic operational model. Usually it has fitful times dealing with tropical systems. In fact it's been all over the place for the last couple of days, not connecting mid-latitude weather with the tropics having it literally stall out in the GOM.

That puts Jackson Cty right in the bulls-eye. There's no way they are preapred for that.
Glad it's not set in stone and just a possibility, albiet a more probable one.
Thanks for the heads up. Just left a msg to pass the word on to my brother at the sheriff's dept in Jackson Cty...imagine once their EMS gets the 5pm advis things will shift into high gear there. A Biloxi Cat 4 landing would cause most threat to Ocean Springs and Gautier, but all of Jackson Cty would have a big issue with flooding and getting everyone out in time.

based on radar....does look like she has slowed down to a crawl.... but in last few images...i think a more west movement has taken place.....would say she is moving less than 5kts now.

THEY moved it to ALA this trend does not look good for the people in LA as it keeps going west.But as we all know it could shift back but the trend has been west.
Still moving but thank God its not went up in winds like some thought.

Yes, it really doesn't look like it's moved at all. Maybe a smidgeon, but not much more than that. Also...have you noticed that since daybreak it's been "55 mile NE of Key West"; "50 miles N of Key West" now "45 WNW or WSW of Key West".
It may be stalling out, trying to decide where to go. And I'm not making any predictions, but if the models are right, looks like LA/MS are in big trouble.

Not to wish bad on someone else, but maybe things will keep shifting west past AL.

hmm.. that's where i had it a couple of days ago, before switching to the panhandle. some times it pays to be stubborn, i guess. i'm guessing they have the first shortwave blowing by it, now? gotta go look at the models again, i reckon.

That's what the concur's. The drifting south eastward really screwed up the track, now it's probably going to miss the intial connection. I knew something was kind of screwy a couple days back when they had it just accelerating right across the peninsula westward, when the main steering mechanism was becoming farther away.
