I feel for those in Slidell and along the MS coast also. This storm will affect many.

ROLL TIDE!!!

SW quadrant putting on a show now. Feedback loop cranking

Most recent microwave scan of Ida vs Gustav at approximately the same location in which dry air intrusion was clearly evident

Look at the weakness on that scan, then look at IR currently lol

A common theme that occurs in every single thread like this is people getting upset at others for being excited about tropical cyclone development.

Can we not continue it this time? No one here wants death or destruction. But this IS a weather enthusiast forum, you are extremely likely to see people being enthusiastic about weather, regardless of the outcome of the storm.

Anticipating a bombing out hurricane, even one that is going to hit land, is very much par for the course here. It's not meant as disrespect or insensitivity to those who are impacted/will be impacted, it's just the nature of following storms -- the same is true with storm chasers who are excited when a tornado touches down. We can be excited for the storm itself and still dreading what happens when it hits populated areas.

If you sincerely believe someone is celebrating because of imminent suffering, report it to the mods so they don't have to spend time during a major cyclonic event chasing down the impetus for another argument.

Most of us are weather buffs here. The excitement of the event comes with the territory.

Yes and situation is entirely impossible to moderate. This is where the mute button works.

So I was away for about 5 hours today, and can confidently say this looks a lot better than before I left. Hurricane intensification is not linear, though the rate of drop in pressure over the day seems to have been. I know the members who have been around for a few seasons know that the relationship between winds and pressure in a strengthening hurricane is not always proportional. I’d expect the comments I see from newbies, but man, the whining about the winds not catching up is annoying. When we all wake up tomorrow morning, we are going to see that a lot of these comments will have aged like milk. If it so happens that it somehow hasn’t strengthened and I’m wrong, I will be happy to call it out. But I have lost 0 confidence that this will peak as a cat4, as currently forecast.

Agreed, the mute button is quite effective

Ive learned more about gustav and zeta today than during the event itself.

[NDG]

No wonder pressure dropped 4 mb in just an hour and fifteen minutes.

The mute is fine, but for newer users or people not familiar with forums, and for those who actually come here for advice on how to prepare/whether or not to leave, arguments about excitement are entirely counter-productive. We should be focused on discussing the storm.

I'm sorry this could be the most important piece of information, how do you mute people?

RI is in progress

Also looks to be a bit right (east) of the official guidance, watch out NOLA:

The entire western semicircle is colder than -75C now, and the whole eyewall is -70 or colder. This is a pretty substantial improvement in a pretty short time.

We should also be entering DMAX soon so it will be very interesting watch these new convective bursts.

[grapealcoholic]

Really starting to rip. DMAX should be interesting

5.1 963.6 92.4 5.1 5.7 5.7

[Category5Kaiju]

Question: when exactly is landfall predicted? From my understanding it's midday tomorrow, but not sure if my eyes are fooling me, but Ida looks pretty close to Louisiana now

[Shell Mound]

Really starting to rip. DMAX should be interesting

5.1 963.6 92.4 5.1 5.7 5.7

When will the winds begin to “catch up” to the MSLP? So far reconnaissance has not found MSW to support anything higher than ~80 kt, though Ida is deepening.
