New Orleans WDSU Channel 6 met just read on the air a special statement from the NWS that stated (after consultation with the nhc) that Lili was still on a NW track and expected to go inland in Central La, not SE La... apparenty some of the local weather mets had created a stir in the city as they were reporting what we were posting about the hint of the NNW track... and even with a slight shift to the east in track the NWS stated that NO would not be expected to get hurricane force winds

Even the met said it was very unusual for the NWS to put out such an alert to be read on the news..... Bottom Line NWS and nhc still confident of a landfall in C LA....

they better be...
