Chances of New Orleans getting a Direct Hit??

Most local mets feel that NO will get lucky again with no affects from this storm. Seems early, but looks like they will be right.

I really don't see Emily striking any farther North than Corpus Christi

I'm in the 1% category, it appears the the ridge is holding rather strong.

Interesting that the MM5 takes Emily to the TX/LA line

This is as sure a thing as anything can ever be with hurricanes.

Extremely low chance. The ridge would have to break down completly. The furthest I see it going as of now is Lake Charles, LA.

Not much chance at this point, but remember last week many models pinned LA as impact with Dennis and were over 150 miles wrong. Models are tightly clustered, lower TX seems a better bet, but pay attention. It looks like the only thing at this point to agree upon is that for a change, Florida gets to watch one in stead of prepare for impact.

I don't think we can write Emily off yet. Its only July and the tropical models are primed for August and September. While I feel fairly confident on the track to Mexio/Texas area, The ULL over Texas, plus other features on the water vapor seem to say hmmmm.

Troughs and ULLs in the summer seem to like to take their time and not move quite as fast as the models would like. Will be another busy weekend.

I think we have a better chance of the Saints winning the Super Bowl! :jump:
They both can happen, but highly unlikely.
