ATL: BARRY - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[crimi481]

Looks like trying to reform

[N2FSU]

A broad area of circulation sure looks like it’s dropping south towards the Gulf. Crazy storm.

[PTrackerLA]

After 4 hours in the "eye" winds picked up around 3pm but really got going around 630/7 and has been gusting over 50mph since. Definitely reminds me of past TC's I've been through you can hear the roar of the coming front quite a distance. Going to stay up a few more hours to monitor the line coming up this way but we've been lucky the heavier echoes have stayed offshore. We'll see but looks like the state will avoid catastrophic flooding for now.

Only 1.25" in my gauge today. Weirdest storm I've been through for sure the calm area near the center of circulation must have been huge.

could be that 2nd low center we seen spinning yesterday

[Innotech]

occasional 50-60 mph gusts blasting Lafayette tonight. power flickered a few times here in the office and our generators kicked in.

I know I warned about NOLA. I will be elated if the city escapes a flood, which may be the case.

[ScottNAtlanta]

If that area offshore persists into tomorrow, wonder what NHC will have to say about it? Would it have the same name if it developed?

[ScottNAtlanta]

It definitely appears that dry air, along with the mid-level shear, has kept everything over the Gulf. I'd laugh if there is a center reformation over water...

So, we laughing yet?

I was watching Live PD in Lafayette, LA, and I saw there had been quite a few trees down.

I was watching Live PD in Lafayette, LA, and I saw there had been quite a few trees down.

No surprise. Pleasantly surprised I still have power. Sustained winds here have not been all that high, but still getting big gusts off and on. Can hear them coming from a long way off and they are loud...

I laughed at this show. We hThey were sooo wrong on the voiceovers. They said the eye of Hurricane Barry passed right over Lafayette. It may have but it wasn’t a hurricane anymore. The then corrected later to “remnants of TS Barry” and they said we had 75mph gusts. Nope...per NWS at our airport the highest gust was 52mph.

[jasons2k]

Looks like the center is about to cross into Texas!

[Hurricane_Apu]

Winds have died down but now getting hardest rain so far... once DMAX comes we'll find out who's going to get screwed...

I don’t know how bad the flooding was tonight, but I’m sure it cost a few cars and houses. But people have been eerily clued in here. Lots of cars parked in bridges and neural grounds. Few people on the road. We are just at the edge. It’s been drizzly and mostly 15ish today. You knew it was a tropical storm but you also knew it could have been worse. And we had flooding Wednesday which was widespread but isolated to that morning. No extreme rainfall or river issues. So we are happy and elated too.

its moved entirely west. just getting rain now, and not even heavy.

[Airboy]

Strange storm that had so much convection all the time so far from the center. Curious about the heave convection going off in the gulf.

[Nimbus]

Poof!

Dry air will do that but, its usually just a wishcast when the models are calling for a cat 2.
Circulation streaming off south of Houston lifting some convection but the oil rigs aren't in danger.

That persistent area of convection in the Northwest Gulf explains what the UKMet was picking up on a few days ago. That's something I'm going to remember in future storms that haven't formed yet. Mainly, UK is more sensitive to convection than the others, and it gave a pretty strong indicator something like that would happen vs the other models. I don't think it applies to more well formed systems as much. It's always interesting when models starkly disagree, sometimes they wind up being both right if you look at the storm as the whole rather than just the center of circulation.

Seriously, spot the storm in the IR below. What would untrained eyes say?
