ATL: ISAAC - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[wkwally]

is this the sign of an eyewall regeneration???

[Time_Zone]

Local met just said Isaac should be making landfall in an hour or so.

[WeatherGuesser]

2 hour loop on GR3 shows almost north travel and near landfall at the tip of this landmass



Looks to me like we'll have landfall in the next couple of hours.

Zoom in radar loop. Looks like the center is becoming very distintive. Looking forward to seeing what recon has for us.

TWC just stated they are witnessing something they have never seen before, an inner eye trying to former inside an outer eye. They have no idea what to make of that.

[wkwally]

from the looks of that radar it seems as if the outer eyewall is making landfall

[rainstorm]

that inner eye is the eye and thats what the models are seeing move west

Not sure the proper thread, but I thought those around the country might be interested in the makeup and layout of the NOLA hurricane protection system:

i dont think that is the outer eyewall...NHC just stated it is still 105 miles offshore

Who on TWC is saying that? Although it's more common in stronger systems, it is part of an Eyewall Replacement Cycle and is not uncommon at all. There are many varities of it.

The latest advisory at 5:00 had it at 30miles SSE of the mouth of the Mississippi River.

How are things in your area puddin?

It is very common for a Hurricane to slow and/or stall as it nears or makes landfall. Very common. It usually lasts a few hours until the eye is fully onshore and then the expected motion continues.

I would have to hear it in context. Dr. Knabb is very knowledgeable. Has to be more to what he said.

Reviewing the NOLA long range radar loops sure looks like it is slowly moving NNW to NW, I don't see any W in this loop, and tightening up as well.. hard be 100 % for sure cause its radar.. my humble opinion.. but latest radar shot is the best I think I've seen on Isaac..

Always listen to your emergency officials and the NHC who have done a pretty good job on this storm..
