SEVERE WEATHER ALERT --- ISAAC HEADS UP
 
I know this isn't the place for this but I feel the need to let my B&G brothers and sisters that may not know what is going on right now. If you have been watching the news lately and are waiting for them to tell you to do something, DON'T.

The news will ONLY go by what the NHC says. If you watch the weather channel and pay close attention and read between the lines, they have been hinting at a model shift all day.

The 0z GFS model run just finished up. It does not look good for us is SELA. Make your plans now!! As soon as this news is broad casted, it's going to be chaos.

A GREAT site I go to is gulfcoastwx.com. A lot of pro mets and meteorology students on this site. Constant model runs you will not hear about on the local news.

I am sorry if I am alarming anyone. I went through Katrina and we were somewhat caught off guard. This is the same set up in regards to being caught off guard.

Hope this stays away but for now most models are pointing to us in SELA and MS. Please stay safe.

The national news just wants to put it all over the place so a bigger viewing area will stay tuned in. Also more people will run out and buy gas and milk.

Local news here in New Orleans are saying the NWS will not know the direction this thing is heading until late tomorrow.

Some of these noodle models shifted toward the west but the National Weather Service did not change their models. Means it could be just predictions at the moment data was extracted from the noodle models.

Local meteorologist are not predicting it will come here, rather fall between Alabama/Florida line. I trust the local meteorologists more than the national services.

In the sense they said the same stuff they are saying now. It was never suppose to come here according to the NHC. Fla all the way. How did that work out?

The last 4 GFS runs all have it coming here. Nogaps, Hwrf coming here. The only major model to not have it coming here YET is the Euro. BUT that is the main model they are banking on. They moved the cone this morning because the Euro is trending west.

The funny thing about that is 3 days ago when the Euro was saying SW LA and ALL the other models were pointing to Fla. it was cast off as the outlier and had no implications in the NHC track. Now that it is the lone outlier saying east, the NHC is putting all the weight with it?

Take this for what you want. I was just trying to sound the word of caution because local mets are NOT allowed to do there own thing. They have to report what the NHC says.

I know he's a bit of a tool but Bob Breck is usually right, in his interpretation of the information, or knowing when to panic and when not to panic

CharityMike 08-26-2012 09:13 AM

Re: Issac heads up
 
Bob use to be a cool dude. He was always willing to give his personal feelings on storms. Notice a difference now? They reeled his butt in big time after Katrina.

FWIW Viper had Katrina going to Fla. as well. Just sayin. Be prepared!

Re: Issac heads up
 
It should be noted that last time I went to a Saints preseason game - in 2005 - Katrina hit.

It should also be noted that ice cream sales, occurrences of rape, and hurricanes all increase in warm weather. Therefore, ice cream causes rape and hurricanes.

Vote Obama before he hits the hurricane button ...

I'm hoping for a nice little mini vacation... like all the "hurricanes" before Katrina.

If this were to verify, we would be talking about 12+ hours of a strengthening hurricane hugging our coast.

The Euro comes out at around 1:00. I will post the updates from it.

Re: SEVERE WEATHER ALERT --- ISAAC HEADS UP
 
Euro is still holding on to the Ala./Fla. line. IMO I don't know how much stock to put into this one model. Reason being, the Euro is notorious for being better at long term forcasts than short term. If you remember correctly, when this was 6-5 days out it had it going to SW LA. Now it is the only major player still on the AL/FL line.

GFS has been greatly enhanced before the start of this season and so far it has been right on the money with each storm this year. So take it for what its worth. Do whats best for you and your family. I can tell you, the stores shelves are already emptying and every gas station has a long line. The window is closing on making a decision if you are going to leave or not.

TROPICAL STORM ISAAC DISCUSSION NUMBER 23
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL092012
500 PM EDT SUN AUG 26 2012

ALTHOUGH SATELLITE AND RADAR IMAGES HAVE SUGGESTED THAT THE TROPICAL
CYCLONE WAS BECOMING A LITTLE BETTER ORGANIZED...AN AIR FORCE
HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT INVESTIGATING ISAAC THIS AFTERNOON HAVE
FOUND THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO STRENGTHENING OF THE STORM.
FLIGHT-LEVEL AND SFMR-OBSERVED WINDS SUPPORT AN INTENSITY OF 50 KT.
THERE IS STILL A WELL-ESTABLISHED UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW PATTERN OVER
THE SYSTEM...AND VERTICAL SHEAR SHOULD REMAIN FAIRLY LIGHT FOR THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. INTENSIFICATION STILL SEEMS LIKELY AS ISAAC
MOVES OVER THE EASTERN GULF...AND POSSIBLY OVER THE HIGHER HEAT
CONTENT OF THE LOOP CURRENT. THE OFFICIAL INTENSITY FOREAST IS
CLOSE TO THE LATEST LGEM GUIDANCE...AND NOT MUCH DIFFERENT FROM THE
PREVIOUS NHC FORECAST.

ISAAC HAS MOVED A LITTLE TO THE LEFT OF PREVIOUS PROJECTIONS AND
CENTER FIXES YIELD A 6- TO 12-HOUR AVERAGED MOTION OF 295/15. THE
TRACK FORECAST CONTINUES TO BE CHALLENGING. THE DYNAMICAL MODELS
SHOW THE TROPICAL STORM/HURRICANE GRADUALLY TURNING TO THE RIGHT
AND HEADING FOR A BREAK IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. HOWEVER...THERE
ARE SUBSTANTIAL DIFFERENCES AMONG THE MOST RELIABLE MODELS AS TO
WHERE ISAAC MIGHT CROSS THE NORTHERN GULF COAST. THE U.K. MET.
OFFICE AND ECMWF MODELS ARE ABOUT 300 N MI TO THE EAST OF THE GFS
AT LANDFALL. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT NEARLY ALL OF THE GFS ENSMEBLE
MEMBERS ARE EAST OF THE GFS CONTROL TRACK. BECAUSE OF THE WIDE
MODEL SPREAD...THERE CONTINUES TO BE GREATER THAN USUAL TRACK
FORECAST UNCERTAINTY.

THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD...IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO FOCUS ON THE EXACT
FORECAST TRACK DUE TO FORECAST UNCERTAINTIES AND THE FACT THAT
SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS EXTEND WELL AWAY FROM THE CENTER.

THE OFFICIAL FORECAST TRACK AND WIND RADII NECESSITATE THE ISSUANCE
OF A HURRICANE WARNING FOR THE NORTHERN GULF COAST AT THIS TIME.

FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INIT 26/2100Z 24.2N 82.3W 50 KT 60 MPH
12H 27/0600Z 25.1N 83.9W 55 KT 65 MPH
