ATL: Tropical Depression Edouard

[LaBreeze]

Sorry, njweather. I was thinking that Duddy was in Baytown not Bay City. My bad. Thanks for the reply though.

[Aric Dunn]

I wonder how that massive blob of convection will wrap around...

as the center pass north of that blob it will begin to pull in the convection from the south and start to fire more convection over the center.. when we say wrap around .. for the most part we mean "build "

[Jagno]

DH is in New Orleans now and I just got off the phone with him and he said that they'd just gotten back from eating at Landry's and every television in the place was on the weather. Looked more like a hurricane party. LOL He said it was pretty windy but other than that just hot and humid and no rain.

Looking at this radar loop out of N.O. it sure "looks" like Eddie is going to come a lot closer to the LA. coast then I anticipated.

It looks like the southern tip of LA will probably be getting hit with some of those stronger northern bands later tonight.

was near bay city today. actually palacios

Arik are you seeing a due west movement or slightly north of due west?

[Wx_Warrior]

New fire up trying to form a new center?

[fasterdisaster]

Oh please, Edouard looks just dandy. What do you expect, a 2 nmi wide eye with -80C cloud tops at a 100 mile radius? It's a fracking 45 mph tropical storm.

as due west as it can go..

Head west young man.....

[Stormcenter]

Moisture is increasing to the north of the center. It's coming together.

Is this expected to speed up before landfall? Because if not even if it's only say an 80 mph category 1 it could cause disastrous flooding especially if it ends up around the Houston/Galveston area.

Wheres recon?

Looking at the new burst of strong convection to the southwest of the center leads me to believe the center may jog a little to the south.

[njweather]

It just occurred to me that this new blob of convection is significantly larger and more cohesive than the more elongated convection we've been seeing all day.

Might not mean anything, but just pointing it out...

Wheres recon?

On it's way!

Is it just my eyes or does anyone else think Ed's moving SLIGHTLY south of west?

Anything is possible but I don't think that will happen. IMO

I am seeing the same thing....
