Very true, they need to put the middle right on NOLA people need to leave there. Or its going to get bad even if it is west. Putting them on the dirty side..

I've still got a gut feeling that she's going to pull a sling shot and head abruptly north to areas near Mobile/Pensacola. This is by no means scientific in any way - just a gut feeling.

A few things that have me really concerned here in SE LA. The northerly flow still coming down from the high over the west Atlantic and over Katrina that is not letting her move north at all. The trough over the northern midwest that does not look like it is making any progress south more zonal (east to west). And finally the line of clouds and showers out in front (the west) of Katrina south of central LA is still moving due west with the easterly flow from the high. That band has not moved north at all today and I think Katrina will just follow that same direction. This is not looking good. I know things can change in a hurry, just like the models did today, but as of now it is very disturbing.

The 00z GFS has not even intialized yet - they typically do the data dump a few minutes from now - thus, no 00z GFS can possibly give them any help. Not sure I trust what that says.

I saw the info on the other site. If you are questioning the validity of the poster, it's Jason Kelly a TV met in Panama City. He's usually a pretty good source. Now I don't know whether TV mets get to listen in on the conf. call or not or if he has some other source.

Needless to say, this is a real eye opener.

Hicksta, certainly I don't want her visiting SW Louisiana, - so it could be a partial gut feeling to have her not come this way. Still thinking more east however.

Purdue, he's a Chief Met in Panama City Beach and probably one of the top mets on the web. I showed up at his studio once just to say hello and he was probably the nicest guy on the web. I wasn't privy to the call or the notes. There's more at flhurricane, but I don't like going too interboard on the web. I just cut and pasted what he reported on that post.

Althought i do not agree with the end part of that track. That track will open people in NO ears. And they will leave.

There's no link, sorry. I just inputted the coordinates as quickly as I could, drew a path connecting the points, and saved the file.

I'd like a link for the NHC plot too. :)

btw, those heights may have been reported from the Gulfstream? It didn't go into detail.
