Re: SHIPS model

I found the source at another news site. It is a direct quote from someone at NHC, apparently from this morning, so in this context it is not clear if this leads up to an official change in the predicted path:

"Katrina’s landfall could still come in Mississippi and affect Alabama and Florida, but it looked likely to come ashore Monday morning on the southeastern Louisiana coast, said Ed Rappaport, deputy director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami."

No, and something's got to be up anyway; she's been moving in a straight line, NW, for some time now.
