ATL: BARRY - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[PTrackerLA]

The wind has really died down recently in Lafayette, not sure what is going on maybe it's the calm of the meso vort?

The convection offshore is struggling to make it inland and now appears to be weakening. Is shear keeping it in the gulf? Really have no idea what's going on at this point.

Looks like NOLA is about and hour away from the beginning of the deluge.

Luckily it never got its act together. So at least there is that.

Amen to that. If it had continued moving WSW to SW, we would be looking at a different animal today.

This means it has been upgraded to hurricane, correct?

Swirl off Vermillion Bay turning west.
Still in the gyre.

It is doing a cyclonic swirl like it has been doing all along since at least yesterday. The MLC is clearly seen to the SE of it by the deep convection.

This thing is decoupling.

I disagree - it has to have been coupled first to decouple. Shear has kept the squalls well south of the center for the past couple of days. It will still be producing strong wind and heavy rain across south-central and southeast LA today (Mississippi, too as far as rain).

This is crazy

Crowley now calm, no wind at all and no rain ??

[BRweather]

Still some 60+ knot winds in that southeast quadrant.

[tropicwatch]

Recon getting into some heavier winds and the 10 advisory is not out yet. Wonder if they are waiting to see if recon finds hurricane force winds?

[BRweather]

Models did not forecast the persistent rain southeast of LA stretching to Alabama, but whats new?

[NDG]

I've never seen these many surfers over in the St Pete area beaches before. Not too often that they get these types of waves.

Barry has been a cool storm to track so far. Except for the floods we had earlier in the week, it's been more preparation and tracking than anything. Turned out two of my kids actually did get a little water in their cars, and the other one got stuck for a while. But otherwise, everything's been cool. Had a wedding rehearsal last night where they tied the knot just to be safe. Haha. Cheers on that, but so far otherwise, those were our only effects. Also last weekend was about 100 degrees and it's been hot almost every day before 92L dropped offshore.

I can't recall which model was the first to loop it toward shore - might have been NAM 12k several runs back. All the models had their moments from HMON depicting the heavily weighted southern structure to the European who at least from last Monday 00z had it hitting around Port Arthur which is certainly in the neighborhood from that far off. GFS did well also. Watching the multi-embedded vortexes has been great too. We feel super lucky so far that the northern side was dry or else we'd be at least a day in on rainfall and not like an inch/inch and a half since it flooded.

I'm not sure what's going to happen next. But you already know there is ridiculous energy down there. What I'm looking to see is whether anything starts firing off or if there is an afternoon explosion south of the center that leads to potential deluges this afternoon and evening. If not, Barry will have underperformed on precipitation except in the Gulf.

Well maybe they did have some evidence for a hurricane.
