Hurricane Katrina

[Swimdude]

All I can tell from that is... Katrina is well South of the NHC track already. Needs an adjustment. Which i'm sure will come within the hour.

Very Cool!! You somehow never cease to amaze me with this technology.

By the way... Did you get the coastal TX/LS/MS/AL member locations updated? **he says as he runs and hides from a big kick from mtm**

Assuming I can be online at or near landfall, it would be cool to see the graphics like you did last night at the first landfall.

I was able to input the placemarks and save the graphics for all those in North America, but between that time and the time I would have closed down GE, it crashed on me and everything I had inputted that morning was lost on the software. I do have most of the maps though, but I've been a little bit more busy with class, work, and following the storm. I'll be sure to put the new maps up in plenty of time though.

There won't be a new official forecast track until 5 am, but probably will happen then, a bit more adjustment west likely.

If she keeps moving WSW what happens.Will landfall shift from NO to Texas?

Looks like the 00z NOGAPS output pushes it even further west than the previous 12z..

Looks like yet another near NOLA hit...

mtm, I just want to thank you for posting these images.... they are very helpful!

Thanks - Please don't forget to remove me from Petit Bois Island (wouldn't that be a helluva place to ride out a storm!!) I fixed my lat/lon in the thread....

senor, can you please tell me what site you're using for the infrared overlay? I notice an eye is visible there.

does the d-value give you the pressure? conversion?

D-value—The quantity D describing the altitude of a point on a constant-pressure surface by its departure from “standard” altitude:

D=Z-Zp

where Z is the actual altitude above mean sea level and Zp is the pressure altitude of the same point.
