That was the problem with . They had all the NO folks going up the only MS central escape route (to Hattiesburg) ,instead of going west to ARK & TX...this caused a huge problem for MS Gulf Coasters trying to leave. Weird, isn't it?

hurricane center says it will not make it back to a major hurricane. A hign 2 is most probable. Still, thats about what the winds were here 35 miles east of s landfall.

But, the thing is, now... it seems, only people coming from I-10 through Slidell can go to Hattiesburg, only people coming from Metairie/Kenner over the Spillway can go on I-10 towards Baton Rouge/Houston, and essentially everyone else (people from Metairie/Kenner that cross the Causeway, people from Slidell, St. Tammany, etc.) have to go the Jackson. And, there's one point, where everyone coming from Slidell has to get on US Hwy-190, the most clogged road in Covington during normal traffic, so those coming from the Causeway can get on 1-12.... It's really weird. What if I wanted to take I-10 west to evacuate.... From where I live, it's not possible.

as far as the probs going higher on the central gulf, margie.. that's because the hurricane is closer. those forecast probs are a function of where the official track is and how many days away the storm is... it's closer now, so higher confidence even though the forecast has only shifted back to the left a little. the forecast track hasn't deviated much for four days now.

Thanks Hank. That makes me feel a little better...but even though the forecast hasn't deviated, the models have. But I'll take seasoned expertise over estimates from computer models (see, I'm in IT!).

Quite useful - to use the vernacular, it's pimp!
Any chance of changing the hurricane category graphics? They are a bit on the large side and partially obscure the original tracks (thinking to if you ever wanted to compare 4 or more storms there).
If isn't around, I could knock something out quickly. You should have my email address.

HankFrank....Thanks for stepping in as one with a voice of authority and cooling this guy down some. I just don't really understand some people. "Hiding behind the models"? What's that even mean?

I was out rowing this morning in my scull on Lake Fairview in Orlando. Just going along my merry way when I saw this squall coming across the lake. Of course, I was on the other side of the lake from the dock, so I hauled over there as fast as I could. It caught me, and there were 45 mph winds, which drove the rain into you like needles. HAha, good ole' hurricanes, always a load of fun.

It appears to be getting stronger on radar...Does anyone else see this slowing down of the storm? I said drifting west in a prior post, but it may actually be W-SW

11 AM advisory is indicating a more NNW path later tonight into tomorrow. Waiting for the discussion and model output.

I thought he appeared a bit south as well...I know there was mention of apossibility of stalling...but I'll admit to TOTALLY not knowing what I'm talking about...just observing & trying to learn.
BTW...like the new map Mike.

Do any of you think it could make landfall as a Cat 3 or higher given what we know now?

wellll.....weather was forecast before computers.......remember....before pc.....
And I am not trying to instill the last minute fear that mainstream media does.....we ARE under a tornado threat till 4pm.....is it very professional to advise someone to COME to a tornado watchbox?????
Did someone not like my comment on food quality and service, I am sorry....have only been a chef for 10 years........
I make no claim to be a MET or a pro.....I like weather is all.....have since came to our lives!!!
if this is some sort of "secret meterological society", i will gladly stop enjoying the data and information flow on this site....but really, walk outside and tell how beautiful a day it is.....hmmmm
HanKfranK has talked with me before, and I assure you all.......fear is not my game, but if someone asks if they should be driving down 95 set for O-town with all the family in tow.......I say.....wait for the Tornado Watch to expire.....
Is that more palatable.....?
hiding behind a model means one can "pass the buck" on when they are wrong about the forecast.......
Thankfully.....it seems I am wrong in my thoughts...I said it!!! Although there is still a lot of activity well east of the eye.....

i'm not sure why the dropped their major hurricane progs given how much the storm has improved since midnight. the inner core convection has come back, and the secondary bands are contracting towards the center on the east side of the storm... also squeezing out that subsidence that has been suppressing convection on the western side of the storm.
well, hold that thought. just read the 11am discussion... they're just going conservative, but the forecast is implicit that it will be a fringe major hurricane at landfall. i think they're going a little low... my best bet is that the storm impacts the same general area at the same general intensity as eloise in 1975. i don't see this thing hitting at above 960mb, but not below 945 or so either. next center fix if the pressure is edging 960 i'd be pretty sure this is on cue. official still taking it over near pensacola.. think 60-70 miles east, which isn't all that different, but worse for the PCB area than destin-penscola. the disco comments about some of the models not initializing the features near the western gulf correctly shades the members to the right... sound enough that i'll go with it.

Despite the models and apparent motion, the forecast shifted slightly right... The discussion does a good job of explaining things.

Latest disco also mentioned that is over slightly cooler water, but this will transition to warmer water in the next 18 hours. 110 or 115 mph, areas damaged by still aren't looking too good at this point.

The 11 AM probabilities have increased for Apalachicola and decreased for Pensacola. Interesting to note.
