ATL: ISAAC - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[PTPatrick]

I think it looks like it stalled because it may be trying to reloc back under the big storms a bit nw of Key West.

Latest saved radar loop from Key West. Kind of a 3d layer effect, not sure what I'm seeing.

looks like the center has drifted only a few miles due west, and the midlevel seems to be just to the NW of the surface, so its still not fully stacked yet if I'm seeing this correctly.

Watching this storms every move is really starting to make me crazy. Need to take a break, and watch the Hallmark Channel. Looks like it is heading a little north of west slowly right now. Have no idea what it could mean, plenty of implications, and my brain is tired. Gonna check back at the next NHC update. I appreciate all the great information everyone is sharing.

Not a met, seek professional help.

NEVER Forget that and I JUST POSTED on My FB how the 5pm update track was Very close to Katrinas which is bad for my area with onshore winds and Surge and obviously bad for nola with winds pushing water out of lake Ponchtrain into canals...ONLY difference is models continue to trend west

That is very spooky to say the least. Isaac is currently almost exactly in the same spot where Katrina was at this precise time seven years ago on this day. THe only major difference is that Katrina was a cat 2 hurricane at this point, while Isaac is currently a 60 mph TS.

Yah, let's try to keep it that way, okay?

Alls I can says is this......Isaac has a looooong way to go before he approaches Katrina's size. At one point homegirl took up most of the Gulf it seemed.

I don't think that's the center you guys are seeing drift west. The center is east of there

[mahi1720]

Give it a few hrs. and you're gonna see an eyewall. It's about to bomb out. This reminds me of Charley.

[Zeno8]

ummm recon just passed through and its east of the 5pm postion .. lol its has essentially stalled

!$@#
Very bad

I think you may be right, the center appears to be basically stalled, maybe a 5,6 or 7mph drift to the W or NW.

its not a good sign when no one can figure out where the center is.

[PTPatrick]

It's over some of the best heat content it's going to encounter. It better get its act together tonight or it may not.

[cheezyWXguy]

I must say, Im not familiar with the type of thing Im seeing on radar...

Well we know its still a bit disorganized which is a problem, not to mention Isaac has had a history of having disjointed lower level center and mid/upper level center.

It still looks a lot better than it has in days.

[HurricaneBrain]

Isaac's about to explode.

[TwisterFanatic]

Any thoughts on what could be causing the sudden slow down?

[Aric Dunn]

this stalled motion is likely the center about to be pulled north in the convection or even a type of reformation..

Guess we'll see if Bastardi has been right all along

[Countrygirl911]

Just got told that by tonight they will get the evacuation notice to st. charles parish since they are expecting 5 to 8 feet storm serge and they do not have a levee protection system expecially on the west side

[bella_may]

Wow look at this blow up of convection near the center. http://www.goes.noaa.gov/HURRLOOPS/gulfvs.html
