Zeta made landfall in an uninhabited marsh. The city of New Orleans itself received low-end category 1 winds.
Zeta was also moving almost 30mph at landfall.

Closest analog at this point.
Yes Betsy seems like a good analogy, we are gonna ride her out unless she bombs out. Relative nearby in a well built house above flood elevation if we need to leave Sunday.
Surprised we are seeing more post from Aric and GCANE. I know Wxman 57 is really busy.

Deep Layer Shear:

Mid Level Shear:

Humidity:

I just cannot find a reason why Ida would not be able to reach whatever potential it has, based on these three factors being favorable, it looks like a system that can really take advantage of the Loop Current otherwise. Unless there's something else I am missing.

Unless explicitly stated, all info in my posts is based on my own opinions and observations. Tropical storms and hurricanes can be extremely dangerous. Do not think you can beat Mother Nature. Refer to an accredited weather research agency or meteorologist if you need to make serious decisions regarding an approaching storm.

It is bombing out right now, as we speak. Be prepared for a high end cat 4 landfall.
I don't know where GCANE is. Aric is a chaser and he mostly just talks on one of the tropics Discords now.

Best track up to 90 knots (105 mph)

Re: ATL: IDA - Hurricane - Discussion
CDO looks vastly improved. Still a bit warm, but the core structure of Ida is rapidly improving.

I kept hearing that and believed it. But Zeta diminished from 90 to 85 knots and Bestsy diminished from 115 to 95 to 65 after going onshore. The lowlands may not hinder circulation as long as the eye is over water, but it appears it will diminish once the eye is on land, even low land.

Genuinely surprised by the lack of cold cloud tops. She's definitely improving but it seems she hasn't undergone RI yet, let's hope that continues.

Ida is going past a cooler pool of water and has yet to reach the loop current, thus the warmer cloud tops.

We haven't seen this play out from a pass over the Loop Current yet...

I don't like the trajectory of the eye right now... I'm increasingly worried that this storm will get closer to New Orleans than anticipated.

We got a heavy rain band in Key West around 2am this morning just in time for my drive home, gusts over 40mph(officially at the airport) though likely a bit higher in isolated spots with microbursts that seemed to be occuring, lightning and very heavy rain. I'm very glad Ida was not any closer.

Just inland from you, got slammed with it earlier. Burst of heavy rain and lightning.

Re: ATL: IDA - Hurricane - Discussion
Am looking at the IR and not sure whether mid level dry air or simply UL shear but something is pressing up and against it's south quad. Looks to me more then light southerly shear given the moisture delineation feeding in from the southwest. Given Ida's forward motion, it may be a mute point so long as it's not drier air being entrained into the circulation
