HOWEVER...THE CREW OF THE AIRCRAFT INDICATED THAT THESE WIND SPEEDS WERE A LITTLE TOO HIGH. THE SATELLITE AND RADAR-OBSERVED STRUCTURE...CENTRAL PRESSURE...AND FLIGHT LEVEL WINDS...ARE MOST CONSISTENT WITH A STRONG TROPICAL STORM. CURRENT INTENSITY IS SET AT 60 KT. LITTLE CHANGE IN STRENGTH IS ANTICIPATED FOR THE NEXT 12 HOURS AS THE CENTER CROSSES INTO THE MARSHY DELTA REGION OF SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA. INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE IS 010/12. DYNAMICAL TRACK GUIDANCE MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT ABOUT A SLIGHT BEND TO THE NORTH-NORTHEAST DURING THE NEXT 12-24 HOURS. THE OFFICIAL TRACK FORECAST IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS ONE DURING THE FIRST DAY OR TWO OF THE PERIOD AND IS ADJUSTED EASTWARD LATER IN THE PERIOD TO AGREE BETTER WITH THE LATEST GLOBAL MODEL GUIDANCE. NO CHANGES IN THE TROPICAL STORM WARNINGS AND WATCHES ARE REQUIRED. PREDICTED STORM SURGE VALUES ARE ADJUSTED UPWARD SLIGHTLY BASED ON A LITTLE STRONGER STORM.
