Looks like almost NW movement between 3:15z and 6:45z ...

Lets see what 4am advisory says, I would expect them to move it to the east of galveston and if track verifies, then I would expect 10am to be in LA.


LA is a little too far east. IMO.

Look at the 745 UTC...looks WNW/NW still...at what point do they call it a trend...it emerged from the eclipse going WNW/NW....it seems awfully far north for a TX landfall. I am too tired to think right now...

I am afraid they may shift, the warnings that is, even further east in to the day on Thursday if this movement continues at all.

Look at the water vapor loops:

Looks like the clouds that have been streaming down along the northern MS/AL border for the last day or so have disappeared. Looks like more weakening of the ridge.

BEVEN all but says in discussion that the track will shift further east...

"THE NEW FORECAST TRACK IS ALSO
SHIFTED EASTWARD ABOUT 30 N MI...CALLING FOR LANDFALL NEAR THE
BOLIVAR PENINSULA AND GALVESTON BAY. HOWEVER...IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE NEW TRACK IS ALONG THE LEFT OR WEST SIDE OF THE ENVELOPE OF GUIDANCE."

According to D Ortt, Rita has slowed and started the turn earlier than predicted. He says he will have to shift future forecast east.

I would be very concerned about leaving SW LA and Cent LA as soon as possible. You might only have 48 hours.

dwg, are you thinking what I am thinking. I know we talked about this last night, That post you wrote earlier with the wv loop link, did you notice that none of the outflow was moving west. It looked like it was almost blocked. It is moving due north into sw and central LA. Could that be the weakness where Rita is headed? Opinions.

The high has split, i think what is not as forecast is the one over TX is the dominant one. Which makes the entire LA coast vulnerable.

CBS local met just said the opposite. He said that other was dominant.
