ATL: BARRY - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[Steve]

Got some breaks on radar, and storms are still having a hard time getting far inland around here. Most of the coast of MS is moving on 2-4", and some of that rain is getting much farther inland. Not impressed with IR presentation, but it's too early to know if it's mostly going to peter out onshore. If anything is going to happen beyond a blustery day for anyone, we ought to know by mid-afternoon how things are setting up. So far so good here still.

Biloxi beach is pretty typical with sustained southerly winds in the 20s, kinda of underwhelming over all but no big surprise since Barry's NE quad never really developed ..a fully mature Cat 1 would have given much worse weather, best guess the tide was 3-4 feet above normal and waves a couple of feet, very little debris wash up so clean up will be easy, sand on the HWY 90 not a bad as was expected... but gonna a be a long weekend for some folks...

Perhaps one of the strangest storms we've ever seen. Glad to be a part of it with this community - remember, to those in Louisiana, it may seem calm now but all the bad stuff is still over water!

Yes

Its kinda strange watching the weather channel blow this up into a massive storm yet we sitting here seeing nothing

In Fact I'm about to fire the BBQ pit up

I think my area will get the worse in the wee hours or Sunday morning even though only 30 mile NW of the storm

As long as there's onshore flow there's good potential for heavy rain. This is going to be a marathon length threat. Also a great time to remember that the worst weather is often well removed from the center in poorly organized storms. follow the convection

Weather channel shows TS Warnings for Tx/La. Classified as a hurricane.

If this band setting up offshore can hold together, looks like you have some oranges coming through in about an hour. But on IR it looks to be fading

Been watching this Steve but like most of the other feeder bands this morning they get eventually shunted off to the east of me towards Pascagoula or Mobile... see if this one will do the same or give us a hit..

Latest HRRR has 70mph gusts for my area around 5pm. Still basically calm outside!

[daromaine]

Cloudy and slight breeze in Abbeville/Perry area. We're ready for what may still be to come.

Clearly that guy came all the way here from England’s Ministry of Silly Walks.

Im on Hwy 90 2miles south of Jeanerette. Steady wind at 45, gusting over 60

[Blinhart]

So all the mets here in Lafayette are saying they are expecting far less rain fall than originally forecasted. I hope it is true, but if people let their shields down and we do get all the rain and then some, we might have a lot of problems.

[ScottNAtlanta]

If you look at the WV loop, it looks like something is blocking the northward progress

Its like there is a ridge or something causing this Northerly shear.

Local Met Lafayette, LA Daniel Phillips KATC:

“The storm has moved 5 miles in the last 3 hours.”

It’s been quiet here in Youngsville for a few hours now!

Just getting some rain now.
